The Vision Pro will offer different sizes for the headset’s light seals and head bands. Different strengths in prescription lens inserts will also need to be kept in stock which will be hard for each Apple Store to do. The more logical solution is to take Vision Pro orders at the Apple Store and have whatever parts are not immediately available in the store shipped to the buyer. This might not scratch the itch that some consumers have to immediately use a new tech device that they have purchased, but it might be the best strategy for Apple.

Apple calls this plan “EasyPay Online Ordering” and it will debut early next month according to an internal Apple memo printed in Gurman’s newsletter. The memo reads, “We want all our customers to leave the store with exactly what they came for. And this will be easier with EasyPay Online Ordering, launching in early August. With a single bag transaction, you’ll have the option of different fulfillment methods, like shipping or personalizing a product.”
Gurman also notes that Apple is planning on making changes to its Today at Apple hands-on sessions held at certain Apple Stores. These are free sessions that show Apple device owners how to be more creative by using their iPhone, iPad, or Mac products to their fullest capabilities. Gurman didn’t note what these changes might be but did say that they will take place starting next month.
