Here's how to preorder the new Apple Vision Pro before its Oct. 22 launch
PREORDER FOR $3,499: Following the announcement of the new Apple Vision Pro, preorders are live with a launch date set for Oct. 22.
With an updated M5 chip, the fresh new Apple Vision Pro comes with some minor but likely much-improved upgrades. With the M5 chip, Apple says the latest version will deliver "a leap forward in performance, improved display rendering, faster AI-powered workflows, and extended battery life," according to the brand's press release.
You can now preorder the Apple Vision Pro at apple.com. Prices start at $3,499 for the 256GB version. That bumps up to $3,699 for the 512GB model and tops out at $3,899 for 1TB. There's also the option to add in Zeiss readers for $99 or a prescription for $149. All orders come with free shipping or the option to pick it up in-store. The expected launch date is Oct. 22.
The updated Apple Vision Pro also comes with a Dual Knit Band, designed to make for a more comfortable wearing experience. And instead of the one strap around the back of the head, the knit band has two straps with an additional band that sits on top of the head for a more snug and secure fit. If you love the look and fit of this new Dual Knit Band, but you don't plan on upgrading to the M5 Apple Vision Pro, you can buy the band separately to use on the original for $99.
Preorders for the Apple Vision Pro come with all the essentials to get you started, as well as some nice accessories. Your delivery will arrive with the Apple Vision Pro and the Dual Knit Band, plus a light seal, two light seal cushions, a cover for the front, and the battery. There are also extras like a cloth for polishing, a USB-C cable for charging, and the power adapter.
If you'd like to see the Apple Vision Pro IRL before you preorder, schedule an in-store demo, which Apple says is available at all locations that sell the Vision Pro.
