The Apple Vision Pro launch is said to happen in early 2024, but it will not be easy for customers to acquire one as the device is said to be available through an appointment system only. Also, the company has been extremely mum on the product, which only means that the average person does not know what they will be getting for their hard-earned $3,499, and that may be why Apple has selected a few retail employees to undergo a secret training event prior to the release of the AR headset.
The training sessions for the Apple Vision Pro are said to happen in the early months of 2024
The memo provided the following details for select retail employees, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman mentioning in the latest ‘Power On’ newsletter that this specific training will commence during the early months of 2024. This leaked information might suggest that the Apple Vision Pro launch may not happen in January but a few months later.
“Selected team members will travel and participate in an event in Cupertino, California, at some point in the first months of 2024. Upon returning to their home store, they’ll deliver training and ongoing support to store team members. This is a group opportunity for those who have a deep passion for demonstrating Apple products and teaching others.”
Gurman reports that these Apple Vision Pro training sessions are being carried out so that the retail employees can relay the information to their colleagues to better prepare them for when the mixed-reality headset officially goes on sale. It is possible Apple has limited the training sessions to a few select retail employees to prevent valuable product information from being disseminated to the wrong sources, as it does not take long for leaks and rumors to spread across social media and the internet.
Unfortunately, the memo excludes information such as when the Apple Vision Pro will officially go on sale or how long these training sessions will last. According to a previous estimate, Apple’s first head-mounted wearable is only said to see 600,000 unit shipments in 2024, and its successor is not expected to undergo mass production after a few years, so it is likely that consumers will be stuck on this hardware for a while.
