Apple’s first mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro, was officially released back in February this year – but only in the United States with an introductory price of $3,499. Since then, we’ve seen it gradually come to more regions worldwide, and two more are joining the list. Apple has now announced that the device will be available in South Korea and the United Arab Emirates this November.
While it was unveiled to much fanfare back during last year’s WWDC event, the price was a hard pill to swallow and many people instead turned to cheaper alternatives such as the Meta Quest Pro or Meta Quest 3. Even still, the Vision Pro has its place in the high-end market and the new expansion into new regions brings it to a more global audience.

If you don’t currently have the budget to facilitate Apple’s mixed-reality headset, you’ll probably have to wait for rumors of a cheaper version of the original to start flaring up again. More Apple hardware is also being released lately, the Mac Mini M4 being the most recent.
