As ever on the day of a major release, Apple has taken down the online Apple Store — at least in the US — and will reopen later for the start of Apple Vision Pro orders.
When the store re-opens at 5 a.m. Pacific, 8 a.m. Eastern, it will also be unusual in how involved the pre-order process is. Since Apple Vision Pro has to be adjusted for different head sizes, and optionally also for prescription lenses, pre-ordering will take two steps.
The first is the regular placing of an order — though Apple’s recommendations include how buyers will have to have the latest version of the Apple Store iOS app installed — and then a separate stage to do with the lenses. Users with corrective lenses will have to upload details of their prescriptions.
