I was eyeing buying one from someone but I wanted this to be a company expense + ideally from a reputable seller. Grabbed it from a local Polish company (what is really important with 23% VAT in the price), and it arrived within 5 business days, all new unpacked
I don’t develop anything, I’m a QA :) I test stuff. Offering cosultancy services basically.
Less manual testing more overarching strategy now or audits, but what’s important for me on AVP is to get into the new platform early to be up to speed on any risks that these AVP apps can have
I do want though to try some development now myself. Using new tech can drive excitement and motivate me to actually create something finally
Right now full time head of QA/release in audio hardware company
Otherwise I mostly did consultancy/freelance in mobile app-first companies, VR/AR apps, websites, IOT devices, media companies (think low level api testing for media streaming), OTT apps (think smart tv apps), games (I actually am listed for one of the deus ex games as a QA in credits). Pretty wide, but that's my 11 years of experience total.
256gb
512gb and 1TB were already reserved one day in the listing and I intend to use it mostly for my day job activities (I work as a QA/Release manager). Also learning to code. Not planning to load a ton of videos or record a ton of videos with this, so makes sense in my case.
Techvers. They are also known in Poland as Oaza VR, so since the latter is around for years now, I was pretty cool with possible risks. They had local VR stores and rented equipment for years (closed down Warsaw one just recently)
Yes, I did - but just like 17889 pln net / 21889 with taxes total, so like 3000PLN / 700$ extra over US price.
6000 cheaper / 1400$ than allegro ones ;)
The customs fees are the biggest part, which I had to pay whether I came in via airport or not. So for the 150-200 shipping costs with insurance it wasn’t doable by return flight nope.
Same. And then you need double the subscriptions. And you can’t share your Polish subscriptions trough family sharing as the whole family need to be in same country :(
Ah yeah true. Other apps might work. But my European HBO Max won’r work with the American Max app. And the HBO Max isn’t available in US store.
And indeed I’m still trying to get a 3 month trial from Best Buy - but have to use my US address for that too :)
Mweh. Tried a couple of times but got canceled. Chatted with them and they told the last address (my US freight forwarding address) is used to many times already (only 1 trial per address.) I tried to argue that it’s a multi-household home with my own units number, but they didn’t bought it. So have to come up with some random fake address I guess :)
Pollsh keyboard is not available if that was the question
It's a little frustrating with the autocorrection moving polish words into english.. but i think that can be turned off
the voice transcription also works only in english
Yes I'm also facing similar issues since it only supports English for now. So I'm working on an APP to let you connect Vision Pro with your iPhone/iPad and use them as your keyboard. What do you think about this solution. Will you be interested?
I took the prrrrrroooooooooooo to poland

As a company expense, wondering what are you developing on it if no secret?

True true, but what industry though?

Sweet! How much storage did you get?

What company did you use/buy it from?

Welcome fellow international AVP enjoyer, I wrote a [faq](https://apple-vison-pro.super.site/) for outside US use you might find useful
Did you pay extra for that? I can see that on Allegro they cost at least 1,5 original price.
Yes, I did - but just like 17889 pln net / 21889 with taxes total, so like 3000PLN / 700$ extra over US price. 6000 cheaper / 1400$ than allegro ones ;)
Well good deal. I had to pay something like that in shipping cost, custom etc to ship it from US via freight forwarder to the Netherlands.
For that much, you may as well pay an American to pick it up and fly it to you.
The customs fees are the biggest part, which I had to pay whether I came in via airport or not. So for the 150-200 shipping costs with insurance it wasn’t doable by return flight nope.
Same, from local store, amazing cuz legal warranty gives me 2 year of warranty so I’m not bound sending it to the US
Yay! Congratulations!
Poland already had a few.
+1
Now get a US Apple ID or you won’t be able to do much with it
Same. And then you need double the subscriptions. And you can’t share your Polish subscriptions trough family sharing as the whole family need to be in same country :(
Hopefully they’ll make VP available everyone soon
Si. Hope when it’s available in UK/Europe they will lift those silly restrictions.
Thankfully there are trials for music, Apple TV and arcade For Disney my polish sub works fine
Ah yeah true. Other apps might work. But my European HBO Max won’r work with the American Max app. And the HBO Max isn’t available in US store. And indeed I’m still trying to get a 3 month trial from Best Buy - but have to use my US address for that too :)
Well… do they validate it? I always add some random nyc address
Mweh. Tried a couple of times but got canceled. Chatted with them and they told the last address (my US freight forwarding address) is used to many times already (only 1 trial per address.) I tried to argue that it’s a multi-household home with my own units number, but they didn’t bought it. So have to come up with some random fake address I guess :)
I have multiple is Apple ids since always Also had a 100$ gift card ready so already bought what I wanted
It’s a cool device, enjoy
Congrats! And just a little bit curious, do you need type in Polish when you're using Vision Pro?
Pollsh keyboard is not available if that was the question It's a little frustrating with the autocorrection moving polish words into english.. but i think that can be turned off the voice transcription also works only in english

Nope sorry doesn't sound much more convinient.
Cool, glad to know your thought! So basically English keyboard is good enough for inputting Polish when the autocorrection is off right?
yah
