Tech enthusiasts and loyal Apple fans across the United States eagerly lined up outside stores as the highly anticipated Apple Vision Pro officially hit the shelves. The first-generation headset, priced at $3,499, marks Apple's groundbreaking foray into a new product category, its first since the introduction of the Apple Watch seven years ago.
On Friday, Apple CEO Tim Cook personally inaugurated the sale of the Vision Pro at the flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City.
The scene was nothing short of electric, with crowds buzzing with excitement as they awaited their chance to experience the latest innovation from the Cupertino giant.
A viral video circulating on social media captured the moment when the first customer emerged from the store, proudly displaying his newly acquired Vision Pro headset. Applause and cheers erupted from Apple employees, creating a moment of celebrity for the delighted customer.
CEO Tim Cook expressed his awe at witnessing people's reactions to the Vision Pro. "It’s an incredible thing to watch people experience Apple Vision Pro for the very first time," Cook wrote. "The impossible becomes possible right before their eyes, and often they don’t have the words to describe the experience."
Cook's sentiments were echoed as he posted on X today morning "Seeing people’s reactions to trying Apple Vision Pro for the first time today was wonderful. Some people had tears in their eyes, our mission is to enrich people’s lives, and I could feel that happening in real time, what a day"
The launch of the Apple Vision Pro signifies a significant milestone for Apple, highlighting its commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and delivering cutting-edge technology to consumers worldwide.
The Vision Pro looks like a pair of old-school ski goggles, weighs about a pound and a half, and is loaded up with 23 sensors, including a dozen cameras and six mics that track eye movements, hand gestures and voice while also sensing objects located around you.
