As we talked about in our 2023 retrospective, Apple Vision Pro was certainly the most talked about story of the year. Additionally, Apple has confirmed the price of the headset’s ZEISS optical inserts: $100 for ‘readers’ (off-the-shelf vision correction), and $150 for prescription-specific vision correction.
Talking about the optics system of the Vision Pro, there are still many unknowns about the ZEISS prescription lenses associated with the device. Talking about content, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is one of the first series shot with Apple’s ‘Immersive Video’ format and is set to debut on Apple TV+ in late 2023.

And well… if I look at these points, I can’t say I was entirely satisfied with what I’ve heard today.
Apple was a significant headline stealer last year after the firm unveiled its Vision Pro headset at WWDC 2023. Reports from the end of 2023 suggest Apple aims for a March 2024 release date. While forecasts differ, it appears the Vision Pro landing is coming nonetheless.
So it begins, after years of intrigue and a busy 2023, which saw XR audiences far and wide hype Apple’s MR headset, the firm finally confirmed the release window for the much talked about Vision Pro, an MR headset for productivity, entertainment, and social use cases.
We previously had an opportunity to check out this long-awaited XR headset in its demo version in 2023. For instance, if you need Apple Vision Pro accessories , like a set of ZEISS optical inserts, those cost $99-$149. With a hefty price tag of around $3,500, the Vision Pro is under much pressure to revolutionize extended reality.
Apple finally announced its first “ spatial computing ” headset after years of speculation in June this year during the WWDC 2023 conference. Light shields, headbands, and custom Zeiss optical inserts for people who need eyeglasses are likely to be extra. The Quest is a lot more affordable.
Since Apple confirmed its entry into the extended reality market at WWDC 2023 in June, consumers have been clamoring for an official Apple Vision Pro release date. This is why Apple has partnered with Zeiss to create custom optical inserts to replace glasses for users. The Apple Vision Pro’s display may have one limitation, however.
The organization estimates that, as of 2023, 80% of adults in the United States (over 200 million people) use some form of vision correction, including reading glasses, prescription glasses, prescription sunglasses, or prescription contacts. The Zeiss corrective inserts start at $100 and are a logical choice for your own personal device.
Apple has also unveiled that the ZEISS Optical Inserts will be available in two types: Readers, priced at $99, and Prescription, available for $149. Apple will open the preorders next Friday, that is January, 19th at 5 am PT. The price is the one we already know, that is $3499 for the 256GB storage model.
