Description:
Some Apple Stores are closing early to get ready for the Vision Pro launch, here's what the changes are.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

As the Apple Vision Pro launch looms on February 2, 2024, it appears Apple is changing its physical Store opening hours to accommodate the new headsets arrival.

The alteration currently only affects two days, and will only impact some stores, but if youre planning to head to your local Apple Store in the next couple of weeks wed suggest checking the official Apple website first to see if its hours have temporarily changed.

As things currently stand, on January 21 all Apple Stores will close at 6pm local time. Some locations are usually open until 7pm on Sundays, so youll have an hour less to shop at them. Any Apple Stores that usually close at 6pm on Sundays dont seem to be affected.

The early closing time is said to give Apple Store employees time to be trained on the new Vision Pro hardware before it goes on sale to the public (via MacRumors ). Our US editor-in-chief trying out the Vision Pro. (Image credit: Future)

Then on February 2, stores will open from 8am so people can sign up for in-store Vision Pro demos thats a whole two hours earlier than Apple Stores usually open. Demos will be assigned on a first-come first-severed basis so
if you want to bag one youll need to make sure you arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Apple has said it will be running Vision Pro demonstrations from February 2 through to February 4, though its currently unclear whether the other two dates will also see stores open early as well.

If you dont need to test out the new Apple headset before it launches, then you can preorder the Vision Pro on the official Apple Store page from 5am PT
/ 8am ET on January 19, 2024. If youre on the fence about the new headset,
you can read our guide on if you should preorder the Apple Vision Pro .

Also remember that only Apple itself is selling the Vision Pro. Scammers may try and take advantage of the hype and rumored lack of availability to sell fake versions of the headset. If you arent shopping on Apples website or in one of its brick-and-mortar stores then you almost certainly arent about to buy a legit Vision Pro headset.
