The first batch of Apple's Vision Pro headset has been shipped and will go on sale on February 2

IT Home reported on January 23 that Apple's Apple Vision Pro has begun accepting pre-orders in the US market on January 19, and it will be officially launched on February 2 at a price of $3499 (IT Home Note: currently about 25193 yuan).

As we all know, Apple generally ships new products well in advance of their release, so as to ensure that pre-order users can get the goods on the same day they go on sale. Since pre-orders began last Friday, the first Apple Vision Pro pre-orderers have shipped their orders, and some orders can already be viewed through UPS.

Of course, while Apple will ship early, it will generally let the courier card point arrive, and for the Vision Pro it is February 2nd.

Ming-Chi Kuo also posted yesterday that according to the level of stocking before pre-order, as well as the shipping time, it is estimated that Apple will sell 16-180,000 Vision Pro units in the first weekend after opening Vision Pro pre-orders. In line with previous forecasts, the Vision Pro was sold out immediately when pre-orders opened, and the shipping time for each model was generally extended to 5–7 weeks within a few hours of opening pre-orders.

According to Kuo, the Vision Pro is selling out as soon as pre-orders open and shipping has been extended to a few weeks, making pre-orders seem positive, but there is a key concern: 48 hours after pre-orders open, the shipping time remains the same. This means that demand may drop quickly after core fans and heavy users open pre-orders for Vision Pro.

Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that it should not be difficult for the Vision Pro to ship 500,000 units this year. However, the demand has declined rapidly after the pre-order sales have been sold out, so it is still necessary to closely observe other market needs and application updates to judge the changes in demand.
