I edited the story in light of your feedback to clearly specify the list of countries. I think it's a good scoop from Aaron, and he'll continue to get even better! Thank you.

Wooooooosh
Joke went right over your head.
The countries the commenter mentioned drive on the left side of the road. It was a driving joke. Their right hand would be on the wheel so they’d type with their left hand.

I am thinking the same for Japan. I bet it is 500,000 yen. For context, average annual salary is around 3,000,000 here.
This is completely unrelated, but why aren’t there left-handed virtual keyboards?
(I mean, for Australia, Japan, Singapore, and the UK.)
I got your joke. Surprised no one else did.
Great to see the release of it in Japan. Well I will have to wait until the price for a new version comes down in price. Or I give up I’ll buy it regardless later. Anyways it’s nice to see that the place is gonna be available here in Japan.
Nice exaggeration. For the average salary income. But I’m not looking forward to that ¥500,000 correct. you but I’ll probably be ¥499,999
I would have expected the earning power of Japanese to be higher for a country that sports a sizeable iPhone user base.
Unlike the US launch, this next round of countries have had a chance to read and watch all of the reviews, teardowns, etc. Some of the magic and hype of the unknown is now gone.
I’m curious what demand will be line for a new product whose reviews haven’t exactly ended with “must buy.”

Gonna be well above 4K with 19% tax here in Germany. No thanks.
I also feel like the hype surrounding it has already died down. Don’t remember the last time I ran into a story about it besides iJustine taking it to the most ridiculous outdoor settings

The Vision Pro got so much bad press in the last few weeks that it will be a hard sell in other countries, where Apple products are not such a must buy as in the US.
Reviewers complain about the weight, the narrow field of you, the absence of a HDMI port or any wired display connection at all, the low quality of the cameras and many more things. Recently "Unbox Therapy" pointed out how useless it is for most tasks despite watching movies.
The only people so far that can really make use of the Vision Pro are reviewers who make a living of reviewing stuff even if that stuff is useless.
I am sure I would be amazed by it for an hour or so, but it would collect dust very quickly. It reminds me of the novelty effects of images generated by AI. It was really amazing at first, but it only took me a few hours before I got bored and could not think about any interesting prompts any more. Maybe I am just too old. When I was a kid, I got excited about stuff more easily.

They probably thought they had it covered by listing Australia…
