Apple has announced that the Vision Pro will launch in new countries. Customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore can pre-order Apple Vision Pro on June 13, and customers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the U.K. can pre-order on June 28. The shipping date for these pre-orders will be on July 12th.
The enthusiasm for Apple Vision Pro has been extraordinary, and we are thrilled to introduce the magic of spatial computing to more customers worldwide,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We can’t wait for more people to see the impossible become possible, whether working and collaborating with an infinite canvas for apps, reliving treasured memories in three dimensions, watching TV shows and movies in a one-of-a-kind personal cinema, or enjoying brand-new spatial experiences that defy imagination.”
Apple Vision Pro, a game-changer in technology, is powered by visionOS, a revolutionary operating system. With an intuitive spatial user interface and a magical input system that users navigate with their eyes, hands, and voice, it’s a device that defies imagination. Built upon decades of engineering and design innovation in iOS, iPad, and macOS, visionOS works seamlessly with Apple’s hardware, software, and services ecosystem to deliver a delightful experience across users’ favourite Apple devices.
Interacting with apps on Apple Vision Pro is a breeze. Look at them and tap your fingers together. You can also speak to dictate text, use the virtual keyboard to type, and ask Siri to open and close apps, play media, answer questions, and more. The infinite canvas feature frees apps from the boundaries of a physical display, allowing them to appear side by side at any scale. This provides users the ultimate workspace for productivity, collaboration, and entertainment. Environments — stunning, dynamic landscapes like Haleakalā, Joshua Tree, Yosemite, and even the moon — are designed to help users focus, reduce visual clutter, and enjoy immersive experiences.
Top streaming services are available on Apple Vision Pro, including Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ with Hulu, Max, MUBI, Peacock, Paramount+ with Showtime, Pluto TV, and Tubi.2 The Apple TV app features all Apple Originals from Apple TV+, and more than 250 3D movies, with select titles available to Apple TV+ subscribers at no additional cost.3 Vision Pro users can enjoy more streaming and online video services through apps like IMAX, Juno, Supercut, and Television or Safari. Apps that support SharePlay and Spatial Persona allow multiple users to watch together as if they’re in the same physical space.
