On 12th July 2024, Vision Pro was finally launched in the UK. This was five months after the headset made its debut in the US and five months after yours truly imported it into the UK.

The most common question I’m asked about Vision Pro is: “Are you still using it?” and my answer has always been “Occasionally”. Although, I’ll admit, over the last few weeks, Apple’s headset has spent an embarrassingly long time in the gear cabinet at my studio.

The good news is that, following the launch of Vision Pro in the UK, I can finally use it properly. And that led me to ask my audience a very important question — with surprising results.

But, first…

Finally unlocking Vision Pro

Importing Vision Pro from the US into the UK wasn’t for the faint-hearted. The ordering process was fraught, a physical delivery address was required in the United States, and the device itself was region-locked.
