The Apple Vision Pro

The first and most significant release of 2024 will likely be on shelves by early February. Of course, with its $3,500 price tag, Apple’s Vision Pro won’t be for everyone, but seeing it make the transition from demos to reality is still going to be exciting to watch.

At the very least, you should be able to step into an Apple Store and try one on — something that’s been virtually impossible so far unless you’re one of Apple’s selected developers. Once those floodgates are open, we’ll also see what kind of apps have been crafted for the Vision Pro, which should give us a sense of where future models will fit into our lives.

After all, there’s every reason to believe Apple will release a more affordable version of the Vision Pro someday. It’s doubtful that will happen this year — most analysts are predicting late 2025 at the soonest — but Apple’s goal is to make its new spatial computing platform available to as many people as possible, and it’s already looking for ways to do so.
