Apple won’t let you just order the Vision Pro headset online. You will have to go to the store and personally confirm the intention to buy the device
As you know, the Apple Vision Pro headset will go on sale early next year and will only be available in the US for the first time. New data suggests that these will not be all restrictions. Just like that, it will be impossible to buy Vision Pro by ordering it in an online store.
Bloomberg journalist and insider Mark Gurman says that Apple will again resort to the method when a potential buyer will have to go to a physical Apple Store and personally confirm their purchase there. The company practiced this approach at the initial stage of Apple Watch sales, highlighting separate zones for getting to know the device. The same zones will be for Vision Pro.
In order to sell the device, Apple plans to create new display areas in its retail stores. The spaces will also allow buyers to choose the right size straps and a light seal that prevents outside light from entering the headset. The company is considering making initial shopping appointments, as it did with the original Apple Watch in 2015.
This approach in the case of Vision Pro can have several goals at once. First, in the store, trained salespeople will be able to visually demonstrate to a potential buyer all the benefits of a completely new product for Apple. This will eliminate cases when a person orders a headset online without understanding why it is needed, and eventually becomes disappointed. Secondly, in the store, customers can create a sense of exclusivity, which will be useful, given the price of the device at $ 3,500.
Recall that the original Apple Watch started very well, but just a few weeks later, their sales fell significantly. Whether it will be the same with Vision Pro, time will tell.

Xiaomi has a holiday: more than 338 million Redmi Note smartphones have already been sold worldwide
At the last press conference dedicated to the announcement of the Redmi Note 13 series, Xiaomi and Redmi President Lu Weibing announced another achievement of the hit Redmi Note line.
According to the top manager, international sales of Redmi Note smartphones have already exceeded 338 million. The company announced that it had surpassed the 320 million mark in March 2023.
Chinese users will be able to start placing orders for the latest Redmi Note 13 Pro+, Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 today, September 21. Note that the series brings many innovations. For example, Redmi Note 13 Pro+, for the first time for the Redmi Note model, received IP68 water protection.
As new comparisons between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the flagship Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra emerge, it becomes clear where the camera of Apple’s new flagship is better.
The following comparative images were published by the famous insider Ice Universe, who stated that the 24-megapixel shooting mode added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max allowed the new product to literally destroy the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The 24-megapixel camera added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max destroyed the 12-megapixel camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of clarity and also did a better job in terms of exposure control. Low light textures are also much better than the Samsung’s. Samsung is trash.

In an interview with Numerama’s Nicolas Lellouche, Apple’s VP of Camera Software Engineering John McCormack explained why the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x optical zoom, rather than the 10x zoom of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro Max performs better than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in low light, especially when using the zoom. The higher the zoom value (up to x25), the better the iPhone 15 Pro Max performs.
