Here's What Apple Vision Pro's Huge Box Looks Like

[MacRumors]

Apple's Vision Pro headset comes in a very large box that uses the company's typically distinctive design language, MacRumors has seen.

The packaging, seen by MacRumors in an Apple employee training video, mirrors the design used across many of its other devices that come in boxes that slide open from the top. Those hoping for an exciting new packaging design for the new product line will be disappointed; the top of the cuboid box features a front view of the Vision Pro headset, while each of the longer sides is simply emblazoned with gray Apple "Vision Pro" text.

While the design itself may be fairly unremarkable, the box's size is immense, almost filling the entire lap of a customer. This is because it contains a Solo Knit Band, a Dual Loop Band, a Light Seal, two Light Seal cushions, a cover, an external battery pack, a USB-C charging cable, a power adapter, a polishing cloth, and the Vision Pro headset itself, necessitating an extremely large receptacle. Until now, the size and design of the box has been unknown.

Customers who purchase a Vision Pro in-store are set to have their device's various sized parts boxed up with the headset itself by Apple Store employees. The device is arranged lengthways in the oblong box and comes pre-attached to the Solo Knit Band. Even though the Vision Pro's box is much larger than that of devices like the Mac Studio, which have a fabric handle on the top to help transport it, there is no grab-handle on the top of Vision Pro's box.

The Vision Pro headset is set to launch on Friday, February 2. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman yesterday said that the Vision Pro, like the original iPhone, will be accompanied by a commemorative shopping bag for those who buy or pick-up the device in-store.

That certainly is some big box!

So they made all the other products boxes much smaller... so they could go "Maxi" on the box for AVP

This is carbon offsetting in practice 😂

I suppose you'd feel better about your purchase... and everyone can see that you have bought an AVP 🤣

 

[zach-coleman]

How heavy is this box going to be? It looks like a brick. Whatever bag they send you out with is going to be massive.

 

[JPack]

Imagine carrying that box out into the parking lot... with the commemorative shopping bag, especially if you live in one of the seedy areas of the U.S. Might as well tape a couple dozen $100 bills to your body and blast some music.

Hope UPS isn't doing a drop and run like they do with many Apple shipments these days.

 

[SamRyouji]

So the box is not "exquisite" like those iPhone boxes.

 

[MAcNIAC]

so disappointed they didnt inovate with the box design. definitely going to hold off for v2 now.

 

[Fuzzball84]

In other news... it emerges that each AVP requires its own shipping container.

Product breakdowns suggest most of the cost of the 3499 device went on shipping...

Now I have a place to live after I use my Rent money to pre-order!

“It is our most modestly priced receptacle”

The bag is the size of a hot air balloon and has "I just bought an AVP but I'm not going Scuba diving" on the side.

They took out the iPhone charger and shrunk the box so they had enough cardboard to make the Vision Pro box.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

I bet they have to ship these one at a time

You need a forklift truck to get it to your car.

 

[Fuzzball84]

It sure is quite some let down... it would be interesting to see how it's all packed in there. It really does make a mockery of how they package other devices (I know they are well packed but why should this one be different, on an environmental stand point).

 

[lk400]

Is this like buying a bag of chips and it’s mostly air?

Those hoping for an exciting new packaging design for the new product line will be disappointed

My 2024 is ruined.

Im going to say this and nobody's gonna stop me.

It’s like a box of chocolates, opening it and seeing more space than chocolates.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Each AVP is suspended in its box using our latest technology. This technology really pushed the limit of what we can do at Apple.

 

[Fuzzball84]

Tim wanted to know if he could unveil it on stage by taking it out of an envelope. They then showed him the size of the box used to deliver it to customers…

Tim was upset that he wouldn’t get his envelope moment.

 

[japanime]

That box has "COMPENSATING" written all over it. 🤣

 

[vegetassj4]

It had to be big enough to hold the special Polishing Cloth (Vision Pro Branding)™

 

[sxdev]

That appears to be 6x-8x the size of index’s box. Seems like one should take a dolly or a BOB style baby stroller to the store.

 

[Harry Haller]

Where are the forklift slots?

Looks like Apple threw out their environmentally friendly Paper and Packaging Strategy with the Vision Pro's packaging 🤣


To protect the environment for the future, Apple said three priorities guide its efforts:

1. Reduce impact on climate change by using renewable energy sources and driving energy efficiency in products and facilities.

2. Conserve precious resources by using materials efficiently, using more recycled and renewable content in products, and recovering material from products at the end of their life.
