In a significant expansion move, Apple is set to introduce its Vision Pro headset to the Chinese market within the year, marking its first foray outside the United States. The announcement was made by CEO Tim Cook during his visit to China, specifically at the China Development Forum in Beijing. This development is Apple’s first public confirmation of international expansion plans for Vision Pro, with China being among the initial countries slated for the launch.
While details on the exact launch date and pricing remain under wraps, Cook’s announcement underscores Apple’s commitment to globalizing its latest technology offering. Currently exclusive to the U.S. market, the Vision Pro has stirred considerable anticipation for its international availability.
Further indications suggest that Vision Pro’s reach will extend beyond China, with Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom also expected to join the list of recipient countries within the year. Esteemed Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has hinted at the likelihood of this expansion occurring ahead of the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) scheduled for June, suggesting a strategic rollout plan for Apple’s cutting-edge headset.
Apple’s move to broaden the availability of Vision Pro demonstrates the company’s strategy to capture a global market, starting with a significant entry into China’s competitive tech landscape.
