“We believe the success of Vision Pro in 2024 will be limited and have longer-term potential,” Morgan Stanley analyst Erik Woodring wrote in a note to investors in December 2023.

Meanwhile, UBS analyst David Vogt estimated that Apple will generate about $1.4 billion in revenue from Vision Pro in 2024, assuming it ships about 400,000 devices. By comparison, the iPhone contributed about $43.81 billion to Apple in the third quarter of 2023.

The lowest-priced Vision Pro mixed reality headset has 256GB of storage and an M2 chip. There are also 512GB versions for $3,699 and 1TB for $3,899. The headset offers a “spatial computing” experience, serving as a virtual reality screen so people can watch movies or “pin” different apps to view while still observing the real world .

Apple’s pre-order website requires customers to use an iPhone or iPad with Face ID to find the right size. In addition to the one-time payment option, the company also offers a 12-month installment plan.
