FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Apple Vision Pro VR headset has wowed many of those who have given it a 
whirl, but one major issue keeping the device out of peoples hands is 
availability  if you live outside the US and want to buy one, youre out of 
luck. Thats set to change, though, with Tim Cook confirming that the headset 
will launch in at least one other country this year: China. 

Apple has previously hinted at a wider Apple Vision Pro release coming in 
2024, and while speaking at the China Development Forum in Beijing over the 
weekend Tim Cook specifically mentioned China as one of the lucky countries 
that's set to get the headset before the end of the year. 

Beyond confirming that a China release is on the cards, Cook didnt reveal a 
specific release date or pricing: however, a Vision Pro release outside the 
US before June 2024 was hinted at by analysts earlier this year, and it's 
unlikely that China will be the only country where it's released. Is a 
worldwide Vision Pro release coming soon? 

China, Japan, Canada, Australia, and the UK, among a few others, are regions 
where Apple is looking to hire a 'Briefing Experience Specialist' for the 
Vision Pro . When the job postings were spotted it was believed they hinted 
at where the wider Vision Pro release would begin, and Cooks China 
confirmation suggests that this may indeed be the case. 

As such, we wouldnt be surprised if the UK and Australia (and the rest) saw 
an Apple Vision Pro release around the same time as China. As mentioned 
above, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously suggested Apple is likely to 
launch the Vision Pro outside of the US before WWDC  which is due in June  so 
we might only be a month or two away from seeing the Vision Pro in more 
peoples hands. 

If you're interested in picking up the Apple headset, we'd suggest first

(around 2,800 / AU$5,350) is worth it for you. You might also like Apple has
