Expect the headset to sell out when it goes on sale on January 19.
Apple’s “era of spatial computing” opens up to the general public on January 19, when Vision Pro pre-orders start, with its arrival in retail stores on February 2. But the future of the platform depends on its ability to gain momentum, according to a report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Addressing Apple investors, Kuo said that the “demand from Apple’s core fans and heavy users” should result in the Vision Pro selling out, which will cause longer ship times. Kuo also states that since the Vision Pro’s specs and software are “well above the industry average…users are sure to be impressed.” That should help create buzz for the product.
However, Kuo warns that if the Vision Pro isn’t a hot seller, investors can expect to see Apple’s short-term stock price be affected.
