Apple Vision Pro, the company’s pioneering spatial computing headset, will launch in Taiwan on December 17, with pre-orders starting December 5. Taiwan becomes the 13th country to join the exclusive list where the $3,500 device is available, following a deliberate global rollout that began in February 2024.
A Challenging Launch for Apple Vision Pro
The Vision Pro has faced challenges since its debut, with its high price tag and a relatively limited app ecosystem acting as barriers to widespread adoption. While Apple has steadily increased the availability of spatial video content, the current library remains slim, with many users reporting that they can explore the full offerings in under an hour.
Despite this, the Vision Pro offers a glimpse into the future of augmented and mixed-reality technology, making it appealing to early adopters and tech enthusiasts.
Current and Future Availability
The Vision Pro is now available in:
- United States, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Australia
- France, Germany, United Kingdom, UAE, South Korea, and Taiwan
Rumors of a lower-cost version of the Vision Pro have circulated, but reports suggest it won’t arrive until 2027 due to technical challenges in reducing costs without compromising features. Meanwhile, a possible M5 chip update for the Vision Pro could arrive in mid-2025, but no official announcements have been made.
What’s Next for Vision Pro in Taiwan?
Residents of Taiwan eager to try Apple’s most ambitious device can pre-order starting December 5 via Apple’s online store. Shipments will begin on December 17, just in time for the holiday season.
A Niche Device with Expanding Appeal
While the Vision Pro remains a niche product due to its steep pricing and early-stage content library, its gradual rollout demonstrates Apple’s commitment to evolving the spatial computing landscape. The device continues to capture interest for its potential to transform work, entertainment, and productivity in the years to come.
