Here’s how much the Vision Pro’s accessories cost
Here we talk about the Apple Vision Pro accessories cost. Now that the Apple Vision Pro pre-orders are open, we know a lot about the cost of accessories, configurations, and other details. And as you might expect, fully embracing the Vision Pro will have a significant impact on your wallet.
To begin with, the base model of the Vision Pro with 256GB of storage starts at $3,499. The cost increases to $3,699 to acquire 512GB, and the price for 1TB will be $3,899. All that money will get you an Apple Vision Pro headset with a light seal, a light seal cushion, and a solo knit band. In addition to that, the box includes a dual-loop band, a cover, a battery, an extra light seal cushion, Apple polishing cloth, and a 30W USB-C power adapter and charging cable.
However, if you want to add Apple Care Plus, it will be an additional $499. (It’s worth noting that there is also an optional $300 deductible for Vision Pro coverage.) In the meantime, Apple provides several auxiliary tools. Here’s an analysis:
Apple Vision Pro accessories cost
- Travel case: $199
- Extra battery: $199
- Zeiss Optical Inserts: start at $99, can go up depending on the type that you need for your prescription
- Extra light seal: $199
- Extra light seal cushion: $29
- Belkin battery holder: $49.95
- Extra solo knit band: $99
- Extra dual loop band: $99
- Extra charging cable: $29
- Extra power brick: $39
Undoubtedly, your total cost will depend on how many additional items you purchase. However, if you plan to use Vision Pro with another person, you may need to pay for additional light seals, cushions, head straps, and Zeiss optical inserts, as everyone has different fitting needs.
Speaking of fitting, as part of the pre-order process, estimating your fit involves scanning your face ID on your phone or iPad. You will also need to fill out a questionnaire about your vision and the type of corrective lenses you typically wear so that it can be determined what type of Zeiss insert you might need.
As for the question of supported prescriptions, it is somewhat unclear. So far, Apple’s support page states that Zeiss inserts are “available for most improvements, including customers who typically wear progressive or bifocal lenses.” However, hard contact lenses are not supported, nor are inserts with prism correction, which is often used for addressing issues like double vision. The support page also notes that individuals with certain medical conditions, such as blinking, changes in eye alignment (i.e., strabismus or amblyopia), or uncontrolled eye movements, may find it challenging to use Vision Pro’s eye tracking. For these individuals, the support page suggests that there will be accessible features allowing navigation of the device using other parts of their body.
As of the time of writing, the base model’s initial availability in some regions has already sold out by the end of February or the beginning of March. While Apple recommends a guided tour on the Apple site, similar to the demo I personally experienced earlier this week, you won’t get a sense of how the Pro, weighing approximately 21.2-22.9 ounces, will feel on your head or how the screen actually looks.
