Apple Vision Pro finally on sale outside the US

Customers in Japan and mainland China can now buy the Apple Vision Pro, and Apple will open up pre-orders in five more countries on Friday.

As announced during the WWDC 2024 video, the Apple Vision Pro has begun rolling out to more territories across the world. The international rollout comes almost five months since the Apple Vision Pro was launched in the US.

Due to that protracted delay, some international users travelled to the US to buy a headset, even as some of them then found the headset being confiscated by Customs in their countries. At least some got through, though, as social media postings show that the very first Apple Vision Pro buyer in Japan was filmed by an existing user.

The Apple Vision Pro is now available to buy in stores in these countries:

• United States
• China mainland
• Hong Kong
• Japan
• Singapore

Also on June 28, 2024, preorders start in these five countries:

• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Australia
• United Kingdom

The local online Apple Stores are now down in each of these territories. "Back in a blink," says the message on the store. "We're getting the Apple Store ready for Apple Vision Pro."

In each of those countries, pre-orders will begin arriving in customers' hands starting on July 12, 2024. On that same date, the headset will be available in Apple Stores.
