Apple's Vision Pro Pre-Order Requires Facial Scan, Likely to Sell Out Quickly

The $3,499 headset's unique pre-order process begins on January 19, with limited initial production predicted to result in rapid sell-out.

  • Apple's Vision Pro headset, set to launch in the United States next month, will require a unique pre-order process involving a facial scan via the Apple Store app to determine the correct component size.
  • The facial scan will measure the required size of the Light Seal and the Head Band, essential components for the headset's proper functioning.
  • Users with vision correction must upload valid and unexpired prescriptions from a U.S. eye-care professional during the pre-order process.
  • Pre-orders for the Vision Pro, priced at $3,499 for the base model, will begin on January 19.
  • Supply-chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the Vision Pro will likely sell out soon after its release due to limited initial production.
