How to Find the Apple Vision Pro in Stock

Shipping times for Apple’s new Vision Pro have unsurprisingly slipped. If you’re interested in buying one, we’ll show you how to quickly find one in stock and hopefully get it shipped ASAP.

Before we show you how, there are a few caveats you should be aware of because Apple’s operating a little bit differently for this product.

First, the Vision Pro is only available to order at Apple stores. Unlike other Apple products, it’s not available at third-party retailers. It’s unclear how long this will last, but don’t go into your local Best Buy looking for it.

Second, ordering a Vision Pro is more involved than ordering a product like the iPhone. When you go to order, you need to scan your face so you can lock in your headband and face seal measurements. This is important because it will ensure the device fits properly.

If you’re buying online, you’ll need the latest version of the Apple Store app and you’ll need to use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad to scan your face/head.

If you use a prescription for your eyes, you’ll also need to have that information handy in order to buy custom optical inserts.

With that out of the way, here’s what you need to know about Vision Pro stock and how to find the device if you’re running into trouble.

How to Find the Apple Vision Pro in Stock

The Vision Pro is sold out and shipping times have been pushed back into March. This includes in-store pickup.

If you’re determined to buy the device, and you want it in your hands ASAP, it’s a good idea to place an order via Apple right now. You can also find the device in stock at resellers and we cover that further on in this guide.

We may not see shipping times get worse, but we don’t expect them to get better for awhile.

There are a few ways to quickly check for Vision Pro stock from your computer or your phone.

There are two methods. You can check via Apple’s website or via the company’s Apple Store application. Both the website and the app allow you to check on stock at individual Apple Stores.

Choose the Vision Pro model you want and enter your local zip code. The site or app will show you what’s available for in-store pickup.

Again, configurations are unavailable for in-store pickup. We may see new stock to emerge down the road so you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled if you can’t find what you’re looking for right now.

You can also try your luck walking into an Apple Store. Apple Store locations are now carrying the device and may have stock on hand.

InventoryWatch is a handy application that lets you track the stock of Apple products at individual Apple Store locations.

It hasn’t been updated with the Vision Pro yet, but we imagine the developer(s) behind the InventoryWatch app will update it with the device in the near future.

This obviously doesn’t help today, but it could be a useful tool down the road.

If you’re willing to purchase the Vision Pro from a third-party reseller like StockX or eBay, you can use sites like StockInformer to find it.

Unfortunately, the prices on eBay are marked up. In many cases, sellers are asking for $1000 over the device’s $3,499 MSRP. Unless you’re desperate, you’ll want to wait.
