At the highly anticipated WWDC event, Apple finally revealed its long-awaited AR headset, fulfilling the expectations of eager consumers who have been anticipating its arrival for years. The unveiling brought forth key details about the device, including its price and availability.
Apple Vision Pro Price In Nigeria
The Apple Vision Pro AR headset is set to retail in Nigeria at ₦2,449,300 Naira., making it a premium offering in the market. Apple plans to make it available for purchase in early 2024, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to get their hands on this cutting-edge technology.
Comparison with Meta’s VR Headsets
In a notable comparison, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) recently announced the Quest 3 headset at a price point of ₦349,300, while the Quest 2 is currently retailing for ₦209,300. However, it’s worth mentioning that Meta’s high-performance headset initially launched with a ₦1,049,300 price tag, but it appears that it can now be found at ₦700,000 from select retailers.
Apple Vision Pro: Augmented Reality for Immersive Experiences
Unlike Meta’s VR headsets, the Apple Vision Pro utilizes augmented reality technology rather than virtual reality. The primary distinction lies in the level of immersion. Augmented reality allows users to leverage the technology without completely disconnecting from their surroundings, creating a more integrated experience. Additionally, the Apple Vision Pro introduces hand tracking as a means of control, eliminating the need for separate handheld devices.
Enterprise-Focused Features and Compatibility
Similar to Meta’s Quest Pro, Apple is positioning the Apple Vision Pro as a device with significant workplace utility. Its visionOS, which operates on the same framework as iOS and iPadOS, ensures compatibility with a wide array of existing apps. Apple has already announced support for Microsoft Office apps, as well as popular video conferencing services like WebEX and Zoom, broadening its potential use cases in professional settings.
High-End Features and Target Market
The Apple Vision Pro boasts a range of high-end features that significantly enhance the AR experience. Equipped with micro-OLED displays, the device delivers crisp and vibrant visuals, immersing users in a visually stunning environment. Spatial audio technology further enriches the experience by providing immersive sound. Additionally, the inclusion of a 3D-like camera empowers users to capture and interact with the augmented reality environment.
Price Comparison with Meta’s Headsets
In terms of price comparison, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) announced its Quest 3 headset at ₦349,300, while the Quest 2 is available for ₦209,300. Notably, Meta initially launched its high-performance headset at ₦1,049,300, but it seems that the price has now been reduced to ₦700,000 at select retailers.
