If you’re planning to pre-order the Apple Vision Pro next Friday, Apple has some helpful tips for making the process go smoother, not the least of which includes an update to the Apple Store app.
Pre-orders for the Vision Pro kick off next Friday, January 19 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time. To complete your pre-order, you’ll want to have a Face ID-capable iPhone or iPad.
“When you order Apple Vision Pro, you’ll need to scan your face with an iPhone or iPad with Face ID,” wrote Apple, in an email. “This helps us determine the right size Light Seal and headbands, which work together to give you a precise fit.”
Be sure that your Apple Store app is updated, to the latest version, which was released on January 11 as only the latest version of the app supports Vision Pro face scanning.
Last but not least, if you require vision correction,you will be required to upload a copy of a valid, unexpired prescription from a U.S. eye‑care professional after checkout. You can add and store your vision prescription in the Health app on the iPhone.
“Because Apple Vision Pro is designed to be worn without glasses, we’ve partnered with ZEISS to create custom optical inserts that accommodate most prescriptions,” (not all prescriptions are supported). “When you order, we’ll ask a few quick questions to find out if you need optical inserts. If you do, you’ll upload a valid, unexpired prescription from a U.S. eye‑care professional after checkout.”
The Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 (U.S.) with 256GB of storage. Pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro will begin on Friday, January 19, at 5 a.m. PST, with availability beginning Friday, February 2.
