Yes, you can try out Apple’s Vision Pro for free. Here’s how.
Apple’s Vision Pro is finally coming to the U.S., with pre-orders starting on Jan. 19 and in-store availability beginning two weeks later on Feb. 2.
The augmented reality headset (or spatial computer, as Apple likes to call it) is very expensive. At $ 3,499, it’s far pricier than most VR headsets out there. But there’s a way to try it out before you buy, or even pre-order, the Apple Vision Pro.
In an email sent to customers that subscribed to the mailing list with news on Vision Pro, Apple announced the availability of Apple Vision Pro demos at Apple Stores.
“Starting at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, February 2, we invite you to sign up for a demo of Apple Vision Pro at your local Apple Store. Demo times will be available Friday through the weekend on a first-come, first-served basis. We can’t wait to see you there,” the email read.
There’s a lot we don’t know here. We can only assume that the demos will be available on a first come, first serve basis, and it sounds like you’ll have to physically go to an Apple Store to sign up, though it may be possible to sign up for a demo online as well. The “8:00 a.m.” time probably refers to local time. Finally, we don’t really know what these demos will be like, or how long they’ll last.
Still, this is good news for folks who are interested in demoing in Vision Pro. It’s a pricy device, and trying it out before you dish out the eye-watering sum of three-and-a-half thousand dollars is probably a good idea.
