Opening: Apple's new product is coming, and the wallet is crying warning
Hold on to your wallet, because Apple has once again challenged us with a new product! Apple announced in a press release on its official website that the Vision Pro will be available for pre-order on January 19 at 5 a.m. PST and on February 2 at Apple Retail Stores in the United States and Apple Online Stores in the United States. This article takes you through the process of amazing (and distressing our wallets) this time around.
The first batch of Vision Pro is available for both offline and online purchases, but the production capacity of the Vision Pro is very limited, and Apple does not have enough stock. In the early stage, even users in the United States may find it difficult to buy spot in the first place, not to mention that there will definitely be many friends in other countries and regions who will let American users buy on their behalf.
Prices start at $3,499 (about 25,000 RMB), and only a 256 GB version is available. Yes, you heard it right, it's the price, are you ready? And if you are a myopia user, you don't have to worry, you can spend 99 US dollars (about 709 yuan) to buy Zeiss myopia lens accessories.
Hardware configuration: Detail tracking of digital talents
Looking at the accessory list, the Vision Pro comes standard with 256GB of storage, and the package includes a light seal, two light seal pads, a front protective cover, a polishing cloth, an external battery and USB-C charging cable, and a charger, and this product is equipped with M2 and R1 dual-chip architecture, with 12 cameras, 5 sensors, and 6 microphones. On the front are two micro-OLED screens that support up to 23 million pixel displays. Apple has also specifically added a cushioning material called Light Seal, a soft textile that bends freely to fit the user's face.
Endurance: Experience for a long time, no longer worry
In terms of autonomy, Apple has released the test data for the Vision Pro. When paired with an external battery, the battery life can reach 2 hours in general use cases, and up to 2.5 hours when watching videos. This kind of battery life is enough to meet your daily use needs.
Software experience: visionOS, familiar and new
In terms of software, Apple has launched a new spatial operating system, visionOS. Leveraging existing developer frameworks, more than 1 million iOS/iPadOS apps are available in the new App Store. In addition, the Vision Pro will initially offer more than 250 Apple Arcade games and more than 150 3D immersive movies. Apple has sent out invitations to select users to host experiences at in-person retail stores across the United States on Feb. 2.
Conclusion: What do you think about expectations and reality?
Overall, the Vision Pro's $3499 pricing is really not a bit of a bargain, but given its hardware configuration and software experience, it's perhaps a worthwhile investment for true digital enthusiasts.
