Apple Vision Pro’s European Launch Faces Fierce Competition in Crowded VR Market

The mixed reality headset arrives in several countries this summer, but its premium pricing could deter buyers eyeing more affordable alternatives

After months of eager anticipation, Apple has finally confirmed international launch details for its flagship mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro. However, the device’s European debut in July comes amid stiff competition from significantly cheaper virtual reality offerings that could undercut Apple’s premium ambitions.

Starting June 28th, customers in China, Japan, Singapore and other Asian markets can get their hands on the $3,499 Vision Pro via pre-orders. A couple weeks later on July 12th, the headset launches in the UK, Germany, France, Australia and Canada.

“We can’t wait for more people to experience the impossible with infinite apps, personal theaters, and brand new spatial experiences that defy imagination,” proclaimed Apple CEO Tim Cook of the expanded rollout.

However, Apple faces an uphill battle enticing cost-conscious buyers in markets where the capabilities of more affordable VR hardware have improved dramatically in recent years. The newly launched $459 Meta Quest 3, for instance, could prove a more appealing option for gamers and casual users alike.

“It’s going to be tough for Apple to justify that premium pricing when there are quality alternatives under $500,” assessed industry analyst Brian Renard. “Especially as Meta is rumored to release an even cheaper ‘Quest 3S’ headset soon exclusively for media consumption.”

For VR gaming enthusiasts, Sony’s $549 PSVR 2 headset is poised to gain major traction following its long-awaited PC support update in August. This will unlock the peripheral’s potential as an affordable high-fidelity PC VR solution boasting a vast library of compatible titles.

“It’s an uphill battle for Apple this summer with so much non-essential but desirable VR tech vying for mass market adoption,” remarked critic Steve Watts. “An over $3,000 mixed reality device needs to clear a very high bar to lure buyers from all the cheaper, gaming-focused competition.”

Apple is touting forthcoming OS and ecosystem updates for the Vision Pro aimed at adding more functionality and third-party app support. VisionOS2 promises higher resolution virtual monitor capabilities, travel optimization features, and a new development framework to spur app creation.

However, skeptics wonder if incremental software updates can offset the Vision Pro’s lack of gaming capabilities compared to its rapidly iterating rivals. There are also doubts around whether mainstream consumers are ready to invest thousands in mixed reality before the technology becomes more matured.

“Apple couldn’t have picked a worse time for this European expansion with so much heat on the more affordable side of the VR market,” assessed Renard. “Unless it can find some killer app or use case, the Vision Pro’s pricing alone could really hamstring its adoption.”

At least initially, the cutting-edge Vision Pro may need to rely primarily on professional creative workflows and deep-pocketed Apple diehards outside the US as its global rollout begins. Enticing mainstream consumers to its pricey mixed reality vision could prove challenging amidst 2024’s veritable buffet of more accessible VR experiences.
