"High Demand for Apple Vision Pro Headset Leads to Sold Out Status, Future Demand Uncertain"
The Apple Vision Pro headset, priced at $3,500, sold out during the pre-order weekend, with an estimated 160,000 to 180,000 units sold, leading to a shipping time of five to seven weeks. However, concerns arise about sustained demand as the shipping time remains unchanged, potentially indicating a decrease in demand when the headset becomes available for pre-order again. Production efficiency issues and overtime work by supply chain partners add to the uncertainty, with analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicting a potential sales target of 500,000 units but cautioning that the product's sold-out status does not necessarily indicate mainstream success due to its niche and expensive nature.
