Yeah, the hype is already gone. So not expecting too much from a release in other countries. As everyone has expected before, even Apple is not having a primary Case for Using a VR/AR Headset. And the reviews suggest, that even for the intended workflows its not really neccessary.

This is true — at least with the english speaking ones. (Most of the UK ones already did it with US bought AVPs)
I am sure there will be Francophone, Chinese and German "influencers" trying it on.
No Apple Stores in Ireland, so presumably never here.
The country where Apple holds a major operation too, that is incredible.
No Apple Stores in Finland or Portugal either.
Don't understand why Apple just stopped expanding their retail operation to new countries.
I'm not saying bring an Apple Store to every village. But considering the size of Apple and its importance in modern society worldwide, it would be good peace of mind to their customers to know that basically you can find an Apple in any given developed country at least at the capital.
You just made this thread interesting 🖖
"The Apple Vision Pro keyboard only supports English (US) and Emoji, which makes sense as it is limited to the United States."
This seems a bit tone deaf. From Wikipedia: The United States does not have an official language. English and Spanish are the most widely used languages in the U.S."
This makes me wonder how important are the 42 million US-citizens that speak Spanish at home?

Apple will soon add 12 new languages to the virtual keyboard on the Vision Pro, based on code discovered by MacRumors. Right now, the Apple Vision Pro keyboard only supports English (US) and Emoji, which makes sense as it is limited to the United States.
![apple-vision-pro-virtual-keyboard.jpg]()
To bring the Vision Pro to new countries, Apple needs to add support for additional languages. The code indicates the following languages will be added:
It's likely that these language additions hint at the countries where Apple will launch the Vision Pro next, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK. Hong Kong and Taiwan are also potential candidates.
- Cantonese, Traditional
- Chinese, Simplified
- English (Australia)
- English (Canada)
- English (Japan)
- English (Singapore)
- English (UK)
- French (Canada)
- French (France)
- German (Germany)
- Japanese
- Korean
When the Vision Pro launched, Apple said that it would bring the Vision Pro to additional countries later this year, but the company did not provide timing. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will expand Vision Pro availability to additional markets prior to the June Worldwide Developers Conference.

Same boat. Was hyped. USA launch showed what an overpriced disaster this product is. Will wait for V2 at minimal.
I have no idea what I am talking about, but I wouldn't be surprised if that hasn't got to do with the tax breaks Apple Inc get in Ireland… Somewhere in the small print.
But as I said, no idea if I'm right. 🙂
How is it possible for Apple to skip Spanish? 🤦🏻♂️
They certainly have a language issue. 🤣Even in their translation services, there's a noticeable lack of several languages!!
Many would argue that Spanish, being a major language, should not be excluded at this stage. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Due to the cost of living crisis that is affecting many many countries in the EU due to a war going on (we wont go into that), it will be interesting to see the uptake of sales of the VR once it's released. With regards to the UK, based on news articles of when Apple releases new iphones and ipads in the country and the media get to talk with those inline at the Apple stores waiting to get their hands on one, it becomes apparent that a lot of the sales is by people living in the UK who then send them on to friends/relatives/workplaces abroad.
The only people in the UK that is going to be able to afford a VP is rich people. Question will be though are the rich people in the UK that interested in AR/VR to begin with. I doubt it. In my opinion their interest will be money and as such if they can make money from the VP (buy now, sell later for a profit).

That's OK, Bilbo Baggins wouldn't be able to recharge it in The Shire anyway.
Agree...$5K in Canada but wait for the Apple Vision Pro Gen.2 with a better sound system...
I believe this is a humorous reference to those countries where we drive on the left hand side of the road.
Well, according to so many posts here on MR after the launch in the US no-one will buy the VPro when it launches in whatever country is next… and in case someone buys it anyway, they will return it after the 14 days thanks to the PSA that MR surely will post…
I can't wait either.
At the end of May I'm leaving on a two-week trip that will include 76h of air travel (thankfully all with in-seat power).
Demand will be underwhelming. To be honest, I am not sure why they are bothering with that state that the UK economy is in.
Probably because there are still people in the UK with money to spend. Maybe not as many as a few years ago but they still exists.
