Apple stores to start Vision Pro training soon, but that’s not great news to me

I've been telling you that I plan to get the Vision Pro ever since Apple unveiled the spatial computer back in June. But I've had to change my expectations in recent months. Reports said that Apple will start selling the Vision Pro in the US by March. An international rollout will then take several months, with buyers in other countries looking at a late 2024 release.

Apple reportedly wants to give each buyer a custom device, which means you'll have to get an appointment at a retail store to get yours. That's certainly great news for the overall Vision Pro experience. But it means I might not get my Vision Pro until at some point in 2025, when Europe finally gets it.

While I'm speculating here, the closer we get to 2025, the more likely it would be for me to wait for the Vision Pro 2 or the cheaper model. Those spatial computers might be here by then, so getting the original model might not make sense.

The newest Vision Pro development indicates that Apple will start Vision Pro training in mid-January at its retail stores. That timeframe is exciting because Apple could release the Vision Pro soon after that in the US. But even so, it's not good news to me as long as we don't have a release date for the gadget.
