It’s February 5th, so Apple has already shipped tens of thousands of Vision Pro units. It also started in-store sales and demos. Estimates say Apple sold some 200,000 units during the Vision Pro preorder period in the US. That figure might already account for half of the available capacity for this first-gen device’s maiden year. And Apple has yet to launch the Vision Pro internationally.
But in the early hours of February 5th, the first Vision Pro ads went up from scalpers close to where I live in Europe, advertising a spatial computer unit brought over from the States. The price for the 1TB Vision Pro in that ad is probably better than what Apple will charge for the Vision Pro officially whenever it comes to Europe.
Like anyone looking to use the Vision Pro as soon as possible, I’m tempted. I won’t lie. But, unlike some people, I know something very important: the US Vision Pro will not work in Europe. Do not buy one outside of the US, no matter where you might live, or how good the price might look.
There is just one exception here. But even then, you might be better off waiting for the Vision Pro to reach European markets in an official capacity.
