Apple Vision Pro comes in a huge box
The Apple Vision Pro comes in a very, very large box. According to MacRumors, the packaging has the typical design of many other Apple devices, only much larger. The image you can see at the link below is said to be from an Apple employee training video. Although the exact size is not known, it seems to be more similar to the packaging of a Playstation 5 than the compact box of a Meta Quest 3. The reason for the size is probably the included accessories. The Apple Vision Pro comes with a battery pack, a 30W USB-C power adapter & USB-C charging cable, a headband and more. The full list of official accessories can be found in the linked article.
230 native apps available for Apple Vision Pro at launch, says Gurman
According to Apple expert Mark Gurman, about 230 native visionOS apps are currently ready, including major AR apps from Lowe's and JCrew, as well as the productivity and entertainment apps already announced by Apple. The rest will come from indie studios. The number may increase slightly before the launch of Apple Vision Pro in early February. Major app providers such as Netflix, YouTube and Spotify have already signaled that they will not provide software for Apple Vision Pro. Google and Meta also seem to be avoiding the new platform for now.
Vision Pro: Analyst estimates initial sales of up to 180,000 units
Pre-orders for Vision Pro began on Friday, and supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that Apple sold 160,000 to 180,000 headsets over the weekend. Kuo previously estimated that Apple had 60,000 to 80,000 units available for the launch, which sold out shortly after the launch. The remaining Vision Pros would not be delivered until five to seven weeks later.
While the instant sold-out and extended shipping times seem positive at first, there is cause for concern, Kuo writes. Shipping times have remained unchanged 48 hours after pre-orders began. This suggests that demand could drop off quickly after the core fans and heavy users have placed their orders, Kuo adds.
