Less than a week ago, Mark Gurman began at Bloomberg to detail Apple’s roadmap with the Vision Pro, its elong-awaited mixed reality glasses already announced during WWDC 2023 which was held last June. Well, now another well-known leaker in the Apple world emerges to confirm these deadlines and give more details.
This is Ming Chi-Kuo, who through a note on Medium confirmed that The device will soon ship to stores, which goes along with Gurman’s reports, which indicated that they had been manufactured at a good rate for weeks. Of course, Kuo isn’t very optimistic about shipments, which shows Apple’s low sales expectations. At least during this first year.
Shipments for next week and launch in January?
Launching a product is never a quick and easy thing. Menos aún a uno like las Vision Pro, de las cues y advirtió Gurman que están preparando en zonas especiales en las Apple Store estadounidenses y con training especiales en el mismísimo Apple Park para que los trabajadores can be ser la finest guide possible with this unpublished product for the company.
Despite this, we are getting closer and this is something Kuo agrees with, who has good sources in the supply chain. On this basis, he asserts that shipments will begin next week with the idea that during the first weeks of January the units will be in North American stores.
In fact, although Kuo lists February as the release date like Gurman, does not exclude that they could be launched in January
What the analyst notices with more certainty is the half a million units to ship This year. This meets Apple’s low expectations with the product, at least for this first year and with this first generation. Kuo comments that if they are all sold, the product will be reinforced as “the new star of consumer electronics”, although it is unclear whether more units are expected to be shipped if demand is high.
Likewise, there is no reference to international shipping. This is not surprising, given that we already knew since its presentation that the Vision Pro They will only be sold in the United States. At least at the beginning. We will have to see if by the end of 2024 they will end up being announced for more markets or if, on the contrary, it is necessary to “democratize” the product even more and wait for a hypothetical second generation. Something like this already happened with the original iPhone back in 2007.
