Apple has localized Vision Pro pages in South Korea and the United Arab Emirates with more details about the headset, for those unfamiliar.

Apple first released the Vision Pro in the U.S. in February, with pricing starting at $3,499. In June and July, the headset launched in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the U.K., China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore. With the additions of South Korea and the United Arab Emirates, the headset is now available in 12 countries and regions.

In July, research firm IDC estimated that Vision Pro sales would total less than 500,000 units this year. In a recent interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged that the Vision Pro is not a mass-market product due to its high price.

"At $3,500, it's not a mass-market product," said Cook. "Right now, it's an early-adopter product. People who want to have tomorrow's technology today—that's who it's for. Fortunately, there's enough people who are in that camp that it's exciting."

Currently in beta, visionOS 2.2 adds an ultra-wide mode to the Mac Virtual Display feature.

I was dead against it till I tried it at the Apple Store. It is an amazing product. I think the price is high. But if you have the right use case, I think it is reasonably priced. Just that not many will have that kind of use case.

I will probably keep the set I recently bought as version 2.2 beta shows that Apple has a clear “vision” of what it wants to achieve in the longer term. It can only get better….

Still not available in Switzerland, which i truly dont understand. Language wise, German and French is already covered. Plus Switzerland is an iphone country with a very high market share and the Swiss are more willing to buy expensive items.

They need to keep launching in more countries. Otherwise it will never truly take off once cheaper versions are made available.

Hope it does well. I can't afford it and honestly can't say I'd buy one if I had the means (I'd likely start with an M4 MacBook Pro) but I want to see Apple succeeding and I wish them greater success with successive generations.
