Unboxing the recently arrived Apple Vision Pro glasses in Vietnam for nearly 170 million dong: What would it be like to wear a device that costs twice as much as a Honda SH?
The first Apple Vision Pro glasses have already hit the Vietnamese market through unofficial channels, with a hefty price tag of up to 170 million VND.
After being first unveiled at the WWDC 2023 event, Apple’s Vision Pro mixed reality glasses have finally been officially launched, promising to open up a completely new line of devices – the Next Big Thing – after more than a decade of relying on the iPhone.
Accordingly, Apple expects the Vision Pro to enhance the concept of “spatial computing”, surpassing what competitors like Meta and Microsoft are offering. Specifically, the term spatial computing is a new technology that combines the physical and digital worlds, providing a powerful and engaging computer interaction experience.
After Apple began pre-ordering the Vision Pro mixed reality glasses, the first glasses were sold in the US market on February 2nd at a retail price of up to $3,500. By February 5th, the first Apple Vision Pro glasses had also been brought to the Vietnamese market through import channels.
On this occasion, some reviewers and technology users in Vietnam had the opportunity to experience the Vision Pro early and give their initial reviews:
The version brought to Vietnam has an internal storage capacity of 256GB, with a fairly large product packaging. According to leaked information, these first Vision Pro glasses were sold for prices ranging up to nearly 170 million VND – double the price of each luxury scooter of the Honda SH series. Of course, this price is also much higher than the listed price.
