Apple Vision Pro Singapore Launch Sees Constant Queues Of Curious Customers

The Apple Vision Pro made its local debut in Singapore, China, Hong Kong, and Japan on 28 June 2024 and we were on the ground at the flagship Singapore Apple Store in Orchard Road, to get fresh thoughts from the dedicated local community who got to try out Apple’s latest device.

Frankly, the team did consider that the S$5,299 starting price, as well as availability across some markets earlier this year, might have tempered expectations, but based on the constant flow of customers entering the store to try the headset, there are plenty of folks intrigued by the incredible and first-of-its-kind performance of the device.

Unlike an iPhone, iPad or MacBook Pro, this is definitely not a product anyone can pick up on a whim. Apple wants to make sure you know what you’re getting into and has made the effort to walk interested users through the headset, with a dedicated 30 min demo session. You can also book an appointment here, or an online demo at Apple.com.

Right now, the potential possibilities of the Apple Vision Pro is still an open book, especially without an extensive library of suitable content on the platform. The Apple Vision Pro leans more towards a complementary product, as opposed to one that is essential for daily life and with that in mind, one of the best content pieces to check out is Marvel’s What If…?, a virtual experience that is half game and half interactive movie, which is exactly what the Apple Vision Pro needs, to show off the device’s prowess.

At the same time, let’s not forget the robust library the Apple TV+ team is building to round out the content viewing experience. In the meantime, we will see if more emergent forms of entertainment and content will come about once consumers get around to the mixed reality headset!

Apple Vision Pro is designed to fit and be used by individuals 13 years of age and older, and should not be used by children under the age of 13. Children ages 13 years and older should be supervised by an adult while using Apple Vision Pro.
