Apple VisionPro to Launch in South Korea and the UAE on November 15th

Apples marketing chief, Greg Joswiak, announced today that VisionPro will launch in South Korea and the United Arab Emirates on Friday, November 15th. According to an Apple press release, VisionPro will be available for pre-order in South Korea starting at 10 a.m. local time on Monday, November 4th. The Apple website indicates that pre-orders will open in the UAE at 5 a.m. local time on the same day.

Apple has recently launched localized VisionPro and visionOS2 websites in both South Korea and the UAE, providing more details about the device. In South Korea, users can schedule a 30-minute VisionPro demo experience at local Apple Store retail locations. Apple says it will share more details about the experience after pre-orders begin.

Apple first unveiled the VisionPro in the United States in February at a starting price of $3499. The headset later launched in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore in June and July. With the addition of South Korea and the UAE, the VisionPro will be available in 12 countries and regions worldwide.

In July, research firm IDC predicted that the VisionPro would sell fewer than 500,000 units this year. In a recent interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged that the VisionPro is not a mass-market product due to its high price. Cook stated, "At $3,500, this product is not for the mass market. Right now, its an early product, for people who want to be on the leading edge of technology. And luckily, there are plenty of those, and thats exciting."

The launch of the VisionPro marks Apples continued foray into augmented and virtual reality. The headset aims to deliver immersive experiences and integrate seamlessly with Apples ecosystem. Despite its high price tag, Apple is confident in the future of VisionPro and believes it will attract more users in the coming years.
