A difficult manufacturing process, limited supply, a new product category, and the importance of the user's individual predisposition – all mean that the launch of Apple Vision Pro goggles will be the most difficult sales challenge in the corporation's history. The high cost of components combined with a complicated production process means that a limited number of goggles will debut on the market. Initially, one million units were talked about, then 900,000, with the latest leaks suggesting less than half a million boxes. It looks like fans of VR porn movies are in for a really complex purchasing process!
Even considering the gigantic price of the goggles, set at $3500, 400 thousand copies is a sum far below the demand generated by rich technology enthusiasts and Apple fans. Therefore, the company is developing a special procedure under which the goggles will be sold to customers – and today at the blog of VR Bangers, we'll try to tell you a little bit more about it, considering the Apple Vision Pro VR headset one of the top-shelf options for our VR porn scenes in the future.
3 Requirements That Customers Will Have to Meet in 2024
Condition One
The first requirement is a geographic restriction. Vision Pro goggles will debut in early 2024, but only in the United States. The product is expected to be available in all 270+ Apple Stores in the US, but initially, only key stores – in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, for example – will get a dedicated AR/VR area prepared for customers who want an immersive and customized test of the device. In other stores directly owned by Apple, the Vision Pro goggles will also be on display, but no more than one or two pieces, and without a dedicated zone for full, free testing of the device in conditions simulating a home or apartment. Obviously, VR porn videos can't be tested in one of such places, anyway – but still, your capabilities of trying them out will be significantly reduced which is a pill hard to swallow for the biggest fans of VR porn in high quality.
At the beginning of 2024, the equipment will be available for testing and purchase only in the US – and only in stores directly owned by Apple. The company is not giving any talks or training to licensed partners and distributors, limiting the vendor preparation process exclusively to its own staff in the field. At the end of 2024, the goggles may also come to Canada and the UK, but European customers will most likely wait until 2025!
Condition Two
The second requirement relates to head shape, prescriptions, and corrective glasses. Those wishing to buy Apple Vision Pro in the States will be asked to show or upload a contact lens prescription through the website. On top of that, Apple is working on an iPhone app that scans the user's head. Such a scan will also be implemented in physical stores. It will allow the staff to adjust the goggles, visors, and accessories to the individual predisposition of the customer.
The variable element will be not only the flexible headband, but also the light-blocking visor housing, also coming in several variants. The fitting process will therefore be much more demanding and complicated than at any previous Apple device launch. Among other reasons, the company is focusing on intensive training of its own sales staff, as well as preparing the U.S. online store for new challenges, such as uploading and interpreting a prescription from an ophthalmologist or a head scan. And even though this solves the problem of wearing glasses while watching VR porn scenes (described by us in this blog post), it's still kinda problematic and causes a lot of other issues.
Condition Three
The third requirement is about place and time. People who want to buy Vision Pro goggles at the Apple Store will be given appointments for specific times. The calendar of appointments is intended to allow staff to properly prepare the goggles in the testing area so that they are waiting for the potential customer and are best suited to their individual predispositions, including the headband, visor, and accessories. And even though all those accessories could further amplify the way you experience virtual reality porn, they're causing even more issues and will certainly prolong the distribution process.
Appropriate time slots will also make it possible to serve those customers who have a visual impairment but do not have a current prescription for corrective lenses. Such a prescription will be able to be issued directly at the Apple showroom, after an examination by Carl Zeiss personnel working directly with Apple on Vision Pro goggles. The appropriate glasses are to be issued to customers on the spot, forcing a giant stockpile in the back room. As if other logistical challenges weren't enough.
