Apple Vision Pro pre-orders require a FaceID scan with an iPhone or iPad

When shoppers pre-order the Vision Pro starting on January 19, they will need to scan their face with Face ID to make sure they get a precise band fit for the new headset.

To get the inserts for an additional fee, provided by its partner Zeiss, Apple says shoppers will need to share an updated official prescription document when pre-ordering the headset. The Vision Pro, which was first announced at Apple’s WWDC 2023 keynote, received praise for its crisp 3D visuals during a hands-on preview. The headset will provide more than just a VR screen and speaker system for watching films and playing games — it will eventually act as a tool that will connect friends in Horizon Worlds.
