The Apple Vision Pro has hit the world and the internet by storm, merging our reality with a Black Mirror episode. Those keen to get their hands on one in the UK will need to know when it releases for sale.
The Apple Vision Pro was released in the United States on February 2, and ever since, tech geeks the world over have been clamoring to get their hands on one.
Unfortunately, no release date has been confirmed yet for a UK release, however, it’s planned to be released to Canada and the UK by the end of 2024 at the very latest, according to Mark Gurman.
So any UK residents who are eagerly anticipating the Apple Vision Pro will have to wait a while longer to experience the latest revolution in technology.
If you’re willing to be a little risky, you can actually buy Apple Vision Pro headsets on sites like eBay.
Naturally, this comes with many risks and reminds me of the PlayStation 5 reselling madness.
Not only will many likely be scams, but most are asking for well over the asking price, knowing that international folk may be willing to spend top dollar.
An additional thing to be wary of is the likely lack of warranty. If something goes wrong, not only won’t you be covered, but any Apple store in the UK won’t be equipped to do anything for you.
It’s not worth the risk, in my opinion, but those with cash to spare may think otherwise.
Now that you know more about the UK release of the Apple Vision Pro, why not take a look at the best aftermarket RTX 4080 Super GPUs?
What could Apple have done with the humble automobile?
The boss of consumer electronics firm HTC on Monday welcomed Apple's launch of its own a mixed reality headset, saying it will help the technology take off and become mainstream. Apple began sales of Vision Pro, the company's pricey virtual and augmented reality headset on February 2 in company's biggest product launch since the original iPhone went on sale in 2007, putting it in competition with HTC.
With the Vision Pro finally available, many consumers are curious about Apple’s AR/VR headset and the apps that come with it. While some are from companies you recognize — Disney+, Max, TikTok, Zoom, Reddit and others — there are plenty of independent developers that launched visionOS-optimized apps.
Bō: Path of The Teal Lotus, the upcoming Metroidvania inspired by Japanese folklore, now has a release date.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live has finally started airing and with it, we've reunited with everyone's favorite apocalypse survivors Rick and Michonne. The first episode centered mostly on the former, as he caught "us" up on his time in the Civic Republic Military and all his escape attempts over the years.
The Apple Vision Pro is a sturdy piece of glass and aluminum, but at the front, a previous scratch test revealed that the company used plastic, so getting permanent marks on it would take little effort. However, multiple owners are reporting that the front side of their AR headset are showing a crack while the device is just being stored and doing nothing else. This kind of occurrence would make anyone livid who has to fork $3,499 for a head-mounted wearable, and that too, for the measly base storage of 256GB.
Arrowhead Game Studios' CEO has told gamers to save their money and wait until Helldivers 2's servers are fixed before they buy the game.
An earlier rumor was disseminating information that Apple had halted work on its foldable iPhone because there were durability concerns regarding the display. Now, a new update claims that the technology giant is actively developing the device and has actually reassigned some key personnel hailing from the Apple Vision Pro team to work on this new form factor.
The Apple Vision Pro has divided opinion ever since the company showcased it at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023. At the time, people only judged it on its price, features and its competition. But now that Apple has started selling the Vision Pro, users have got a chance to try it and formulate their opinions. While some are calling it the tech of the future, others have criticized it as an “isolated experience” and some have indicated discomfort while using the gadget. In fact, some of the early adopters of the Apple Vision Pro are having second thoughts too and are returning the headsets for several reasons. Bloomberg columnist Mark Bloomberg tells the tale and adds a twist at the end.
Apple on Thursday announced the arrival of new "spatial games" that are designed to work on the company's recently launched Apple Vision Pro headset. These games are designed to run on visionOS and are available to Apple Arcade subscribers, according to the company. Users will be able to interact with these games using hand gestures, while viewing elements in an immersive mode that uses augmented reality (AR) technology. Meanwhile, a total of 250 non-spatial titles can also be accessed on the mixed reality headset.
Apple confirmed three more Apple Arcade titles that will get the spatial game treatment for Apple Vision Pro soon: Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City, Gibbon: Beyond the Trees, and Spire Blast.
In 2023, Apple announced its first-ever venture in the world of AR/VR, taking on heavyweights such as Meta. The iPhone maker's first spatial computer, which it calls the Vision Pro, finally went on sale last month and it has divided opinions ever since. Some say it is the tech of the future, while others call it incredibly isolating. But with an ever-growing library of apps, Apple is seriously looking to trump Meta in the world of mixed reality, even though its headset costs as much as 7 times more. In a new video, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared his thoughts on Apple's new headset and compared it to his company's Quest headset.
