Overview

  • Apple Vision Pro, currently available only in the U.S., is expected to launch in nine new countries including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK.
  • The expansion is anticipated before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, aligning with the addition of 12 new languages to the Vision Pro's virtual keyboard.
  • Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the international rollout could help Apple meet its revised shipment estimate of 800,000 units for 2024.
  • Despite its high price tag of $3,499 in the U.S., the Vision Pro's preorders sold out quickly, although there were reports of high return rates.
  • The international launch may face challenges such as localization, supply constraints, and the need for in-store demos due to the device's complex setup.
