The much-hyped Apple Vision Pro headset is almost here for those who have preordered, or those waiting to give it an in-person demo. Billed as the future of spatial computing, the AR/VR headset might not be for everyone based on its hefty $3,499 price tag and lack of apps like Netflix and YouTube at launch (though it will come with Disney+, Max and 150 3D movies, immersive films and series). Estimates show that the company might have sold between 160,000 and 180,000 headsets over the course of the weekend when preorders began. Though that amount is far lower than the typical rollout of the newest iPhone, there will be a wave of early adopters willing to don the headset when it launches Friday.

Our first impressions of the Apple Vision Pro, as well as our more recent hands-on experience with it, have resulted in impressive results, though it’s still unclear who the headset is ultimately for and what it could become as a device in regular use. We’ll have more extensive thoughts for you when we get to spend more time with the device.
