In a recent announcement, Apple revealed that Apple Vision Pro Pre-Order Process for the highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro will commence in the US on January 19 at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with the first units set to ship on February 2. However, potential buyers should brace themselves for some challenges due to anticipated hardware shortages and limited initial availability.
Apple Vision Pro Pre-Order Requirements: Face ID on Compatible Apple Devices
Prospective buyers eager to secure the Apple Vision Pro early must be prepared for a unique pre-order process. The latest information suggests that the process will mandate a facial scan using a compatible Apple device equipped with Face ID. This means having an iPhone or iPad ready, along with the latest Apple Store app installed for a seamless experience.
Size Customization Through Facial Scan
Within the Apple Store app, a string was discovered that hints at the requirement: “You may scan your face to determine your size for Apple Vision Pro.” While the scan may not be obligatory for all buyers, it appears Apple might use it as a filter for enthusiastic early adopters, adding a personalized touch to the purchasing experience.
Inclusive Package and Personalization Features
The Apple Vision Pro package includes a Solo Knit Band, Dual Loop Band, Light Seal, two Light Seal Cushions, a polishing cloth, a battery, USB-C cable, and a USB-C adapter. This comprehensive offering suggests users will have multiple fit options, possibly influenced by the initial facial scan.
For users requiring vision correction and opting for the optional $149 ZEISS optical inserts, Apple mandates a valid prescription. This emphasizes Apple’s commitment to ensuring a personalized and tailored experience for Vision Pro users.
In-Store Demo Policy and Initial Launch Details
Apple also outlined its in-store demo policy for the Vision Pro. Launch weekend demos will operate on a first-come-first-serve basis, requiring a sign-up. It’s important to note that the initial launch is limited to the US, featuring a single 256GB variant priced at $3,499. Cupertino hinted at additional storage variants becoming available in the future.
