by It has been reported that Apple will give its employees a 25% discount on the Vision Pro headset.Do you have a cousin or friend who works at Apple? If you treat them well, they might be able to get you a 25% discount when you buy the Apple Vision Pro headset. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple recently sent out a memo informing its staff that they would be qualified for a 25% discount when purchasing the Apple Vision Pro headset. Such employee-only discounts on Apple’s newest products are standard practice.
Apple has previously given discounts of up to 50% on items like HomePods and Apple products. But the 25% discount also pretty significant given that the Vision Pro headset retails for an outrageous $3,500, or roughly Rs 2,90,000. We’ll take care of the maths. The price of the Vision Pro headset will drop to $2624, or roughly Rs 2,17,000, after the 25% discount.
According to the report, Apple employees are given a $500 allowance every three years that can be used towards the purchase of a Mac. This time, the $500 credit also applies to the Vision Pro, and Apple plans to reimburse staff members for any costs associated with acquiring the prescription lenses required for the device. Again, if you have a US-based friend or cousin who works at Apple, get in touch with them right away as there will be an additional discount of about Rs 41,000. Thus, the Vision Pro headset now costs just Rs 1,76,000, which is nearly the same as a MacBook.
In the US, preorders for the Apple Vision Pro headset will open today, January 19. The headset expected to go on sale on February 2, which is two weeks later. There is currently no information on when the Vision Pro headset will be available in India, but according to some analyst reports, Apple plans to launch the headset in non-US markets during the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in June 2024.
In addition, Apple recently unveiled a preview of the Vision Pro headset’s entertainment experience, effectively revealing the content that will be accessible on the devices. The announcement states that the Vision Pro headset will support films and shows from Disney+ and Apple TV+. Nevertheless, a number of reports today have indicated that the Vision Pro headset will not support content platforms such as Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify.
