Apple’s revolutionary spatial computing device, the Apple Vision Pro, is now available for pre-order in the UAE starting Monday, November 4, with an official release on Friday, November 15. Known as Apple’s first "spatial computer," the Vision Pro introduces a fusion of digital and physical interactions, offering users an immersive experience for work, entertainment, gaming, and more.
Core Features and visionOS Integration
Apple Vision Pro operates on visionOS, an innovative operating system that responds to eye movements, hand gestures, and voice commands. Moving beyond traditional screens, Vision Pro allows users to customize their workspace with interactive apps that can scale dynamically. Immersive “Environments” like landscapes from Bora Bora and Yosemite provide focused, distraction-free settings.
Vision Pro integrates seamlessly with other Apple devices, letting users interact wirelessly with their Mac through the Mac Virtual Display, creating a streamlined, expanded workspace.
Apps, Experiences, and the App Store
The App Store now supports over 2,500 apps built specifically for Vision Pro, alongside 1.5 million compatible iPhone and iPad apps. Users can access Microsoft 365, Webex, and Zoom, benefitting from enhanced workspaces and Bluetooth accessory support.
For entertainment, Vision Pro introduces Apple Immersive Video, a 3D 8K video experience enhanced by Spatial Audio through the Apple TV app. Users can stream from top services like Apple TV+, MUBI, and OSN+, turning Vision Pro into a personal cinema.
Gaming and Sports
The Vision Pro provides a unique experience for gamers, offering thousands of titles, including Apple Arcade games optimized for spatial computing. With hand and eye-tracking technology, gaming becomes more interactive and immersive. Sports fans can enjoy real-time stats, live object mapping, and Multiview, allowing up to five games to stream simultaneously through the Apple TV app.
Display and Performance
Vision Pro features a high-resolution micro-OLED display with over 23 million pixels, delivering sharper visuals than a 4K TV. Powered by Apple’s M2 and R1 chips, Vision Pro ensures responsiveness by processing data from cameras, sensors, and microphones.
Privacy and Sustainability Commitments
Apple Vision Pro is equipped with advanced security features, including Optic ID, which uses iris scanning for unlocking and payments. The device also supports accessibility options like VoiceOver and Switch Control for customized input.
In line with Apple’s sustainability goals, Vision Pro uses recycled rare earth elements and aims for energy efficiency, with fiber-based packaging contributing to Apple’s commitment to eliminate plastic packaging by 2025.
Pricing and Availability in the UAE
The Vision Pro is available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB versions, starting at Dh13,999. Customers can purchase online, through the Apple Store app, or in Apple Stores, where 30-minute in-person demos are also available.
This UAE launch brings Apple’s Vision Pro to a wider audience, delivering next-generation technology with immersive capabilities across entertainment, productivity, and beyond.
