A rumour from China is making rounds on the internet, suggesting that Apple's Vision Pro headset is set to hit the market shelves in the last week of January 2024.
The news comes from Wall Street Insights, a Chinese investor news service known for sharing Apple rumours, but its reliability is uncertain.
However, while stating that the information is exclusive, the website indicates that the Vision Pro will be released on Saturday, January 27 in the United States, according to Mac Rumors.

What might fray your nerves is that there's a potential blend in the report. While it mentions a Saturday launch in the United States, it’s actually referring to January 27 in China, pointing towards Friday, January 26 in the United States, making it a more appropriate date for the Vision Pro launch.
Apple usually doesn't release its hardware on Saturdays, so it's highly improbable that the Vision Pro headset would break that tradition. The company typically unveils products on weekdays during regular business hours, aiming for the most media attention and stock market impact.
An Apple expert, Ming-Chi Kuo, hinted that the Vision Pro might be available in late January or early February, matching the new report from China.
Similarly, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg is another reliable source who expressed more confidence about the tech giant aiming for a February release, and placing the device on store shelves.
