Apple Vision Pro: $3,499 headset finally gets release date

Apple has announced its long-awaited Vision Pro headset will go on sale on 2 February in the United States. As well as the release date, Apple also announced the device will have 256GB of storage, and it clarified that the headset's eye-tracking technology can function by monitoring just one dominant eye, for people who do not have full use of both their eyes. Unlike many existing headsets, Apple has detached the battery, so it doesn't sit heavy on your head - although it does mean the battery has to sit beside you instead, attached to a cable. You physically press a single button on the top right-hand side of the headset, and up pops familiar app icons you'll recognise if you have used an iPhone - iMessage, Photos, Apple TV. And from then on it's all about gesture control - the headset tracks where you are looking so when you look at an app and pinch your thumb and forefinger together, it opens. Still, whenever there was an issue with the demo, an Apple employee would remind us that it was not a finished product, and Apple's ban on any filming during the demonstration meant that these issues couldn't be recorded or shared online.
