New York — Apple said Monday that its Vision Pro mixed reality headset will be available for purchase in the United States beginning on February 2, with pre-orders beginning on January 19. The Vision Pro headset, Apples’ riskiest and most ambitious new hardware offering in years, is also one of its priciest products: It starts at $3,500. In a statement announcing the Vision Pro’s release date, CEO Tim Cook did not mince words: “Apple Vision Pro is the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created,” Cook said. The Vision Pro will have its own operating system, dubbed visionOS, as well as a novel three-dimensional user interface and input system that is controlled by a user’s eyes, hands and voice. Shares for Apple (AAPL) ticked up by 1.5% in early trading Monday after the Vision Pro’s launch date was announced.
