The Apple Store is back up and preorders have now begun for the Apple Vision Pro, Apple's long-awaited AR and VR headset.

It's expected that Apple will have produced few Vision Pro headsets compared to its iPhone or iPad releases, so it's likely that the pre-order quantity will sell out quickly.

The cost of the model is $3,499, and that comes with 256GB. For 512GB the price is $3,699, and for a 1TB edition it's $3,899.

Apple is also offering AppleCare for $499, and a travel case, which costs $199.

The process for pre-ordering Vision Pro is more involved than for any other Apple device, too, so it's essential to have certain things ready before ordering.



Specifically, Apple says that at the start of the pre-order process, buyers will require:


  1. iPhone or iPad with Face ID on the latest OS update

  2. The Apple Store app installed and up to date



After ordering, buyers who require any corrective lenses will also be asked to provide:


  1. Information about required prescription or reader glass inserts

  2. If necessary, a valid, unexpired prescription from a U.S. eye-care professional



If the online Apple Store sells out of pre-orders, it is likely -- although not guaranteed -- that there will be stocks in physical Apple Stores. If that is correct, it won't happen until February 2, 2024, when there will be in-store demonstrations.

    Ordered mine. 1Tb memory option. Surprisingly cheap to upgrade memory.

    My ApplePay using AppleCard transaction failed 7 times.  Each time it failed it made me pick a new appointment time. When I finally changed credit cards I had been moved from Feb2 at 11:00am to February 3 at 4pm.  I checked with the AppleCard people and they said there were no declined transactions.  It appears maybe it was an ApplePay issue on the Apple Store side.  Did anybody else see this problem?

    I had an issue with my AMEX card not being able to be processed. But my Apple Card had no issues.

    When I ordered mine I didn’t notice at first that it defaulted to in store pickup. When it asked me to select an appointment time I backed up and switched to delivery (which is what I wanted) and then the Apple Card purchase went through on the first try.

    I had the "transition failed" a few times. I just entered the card number manually and it went through. You still get your 3% on the AppleCard if you enter the number rather than using ApplePay.

    I might spend a few thousand dollars on Apple products this year, but not on this. I’ll wait until this reaches the iphone 4 stage, at least. 

    This year I’ll be looking to buy a 13 inch iPad Air and either an m3 Mac mini or Mac Studio, depending on details.

    I also had the failed transaction trying to set up the appointment time, so I gave up and am just having it delivered to my home.  That went through right away.  I am sure this will be delivered via Fedex and require a signature, so make sure you will be home that day if you chose the delivery option.
