Mon, 09:51·Hardware·fenIf you really want to purchase an Apple Vision Pro outside the USA, you will find various providers. However, there has already been feedback that resellers such as myUS will come away empty-handed this time, and Apple will immediately cancel the corresponding orders. There are also numerous offers on eBay, some at unbelievable prices. You often have to pay up to $6,000 to avoid the official route via the Apple Online Store. However, you should be aware that you will not only have to pay excessive prices, but also have to accept other restrictions. So far, the headset is still completely geared towards the USA in many respects.
Language
First of all, the Vision Pro only supports US English for Siri and dictation functions – since this is an essential type of operation, an important factor. Different dialects pose major challenges for voice assistants, which is why British and Australian users, for example, have their own Siri variants. However, these are not yet available for Apple’s headset.
Apple ID, Region
The Apple Vision Pro must be used with an account whose region is set to “USA”. The same also applies to media purchases. Apple notes in the fine print that apps or app content may be subject to regional restrictions. Anyone who leaves the country (or wants to use the Vision Pro permanently outside the USA) cannot use certain content.
Visual aids
Anyone who needs corrective lenses as a nearsighted or farsighted person must present a prescription from an ophthalmologist in the USA – shipping is only carried out to US addresses.
Apple-Support
In addition to the points mentioned, there is a very fundamental problem. Apple makes it clear that support is only available in the USA. The Vision Pro is aimed explicitly at US customers at work or at home or on (national) trips – they only want to internationalize the offer at a later date.
