As the much-anticipated release of Apple Vision Pro approaches, users are gearing up for the pre-order kickoff, slated to commence in just a week. In a recent email sent to customers, Apple unveiled crucial details about the pre-ordering process, shedding light on the role of Face ID, addressing the needs of glasses wearers with ZEISS optical inserts, and announcing in-store demos for the launch weekend.

Face ID Integration:

The first revelation revolves around the integration of Face ID into the pre-ordering process. Apple informs potential buyers that having an iPhone or iPad with Face ID nearby is essential during the purchase. The Face ID scan helps determine the optimal size for the Light Seal and headbands, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit for users.

To streamline this process, users are urged to update their Apple Store app to the latest version, released on January 11. This highlights Apple's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance user experience from the very beginning of the buying journey. The pre-order will start on January 19th, 5:00 a.m.

ZEISS Optical Inserts for Glasses Wearers

Addressing the needs of those who wear glasses, Apple has collaborated with ZEISS to develop custom optical inserts for the Vision Pro. The ordering of these inserts is a post-purchase step, allowing users to upload their vision prescription after completing the initial purchase.

To facilitate a seamless experience, Apple encourages customers to have their vision prescription ready. The incorporation of ZEISS optical inserts demonstrates Apple's dedication to inclusivity, ensuring that the Vision Pro caters to a wide range of vision needs.

In-Store Demos

Apple is inviting customers to be among the first to experience a demo of the Vision Pro in-store. Commencing at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, February 2, users can sign up for a demo at their local Apple Store. Demo times will be available throughout the weekend on a first-come, first-served basis.

Apple Store App Integration

For added convenience, Apple has incorporated a dedicated section within the Apple Store app on iOS, providing users with the same information shared via email.

The integration of Face ID, collaboration with ZEISS for optical inserts, in-store demos, and a user-friendly app interface collectively contribute to an immersive and personalized experience for potential buyers. Apple's strategic approach not only anticipates user needs but also positions the Vision Pro as a groundbreaking device that goes beyond typical wearables, setting a new standard for innovation in the tech industry.
