The Apple Vision Pro lastly turned available for pre-order on Friday final week, and whereas the primary weekend did extraordinarily properly, to the purpose of being offered out, chances are high that the demand could not proceed to go up the identical manner. Right here’s why.

In response to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s blog, he estimates that Apple offered someplace between 160,000 to 180,000 Imaginative and prescient Professional items in the course of the pre-order weekend, which retail for $3,500 a pop.

He goes on to say that, identical to he predicted, the headset did, in truth, promote out proper after pre-orders started. This prolonged the in any other case common delivery time of the Imaginative and prescient Professional to round 5 to seven weeks inside only a few hours.
