Vision Pro: Apple has reportedly sold over 200,000 units

Apple has reportedly sold over 200,000 units of its Vision Pro headsets in the first 10 days of availability in the US, according to a source cited by MacRumors. Apple analyst Kuo, who estimated sales of 180,000 over last week's pre-order weekend and warned of a rapid decline in demand, may be right. Demand could drop off quickly after core fans and heavy users place their orders, Kuo said. The headset, priced at $3,500, sold out for home delivery and in-store pickup shortly after pre-orders opened. If the numbers are correct, Apple would have sold about 20,000 units after the initial rush.
