How is Apple preparing for the arrival of Vision Pro in France?

A few days ago, Apple CEO Tim Cook announced thatthe Vision Pro would be released in 2024 in several countries. The headset is currently only sold in the United States, but information is becoming clearer for France, and this could beearlier than expected!

MacRumors also unearthed a clue in this direction about two weeks ago. Digging into the visionOS program, the site noticed thepresence of interesting lines of code. These latter seem to preparethe arrival of several keyboards, including a French AZERTY.

These two data in fact show that Apple is preparing the ground, without great precision however. Today, however, we learn thatthe Apple firm could train French sellers to configure the headset in the coming months.

News of the day

According to information reported by WatchGeneration, a call for applications has been issued in French Apple Stores. His name is« Training Product Event », which could correspond to the Vision Pro training program initially followed by American employees.

How will employees be trained?

Given that Apple is known for implementing very specific and optimized protocols, it is likely that Vision Pro training has changed little or nothing. There is therefore a good chance that French employees will betrained in the same way as Americans.

In January, two employees from each Apple Store where the Vision Pro was launched in the United States had to train in Cupertino, California, for two days.
As a reminder, here is how the renowned Mark Gurmandescribed this training:

Each employee will be trained for two days. It's a high-stakes undertaking: the process of setting up the Vision Pro will be complex, and it's not something Apple wants to mess up. The device must be personalized for each person, and a poor fit could ultimately ruin the user experience. Each step will be carefully orchestrated, including how retail employees approach a customer and how they place the device on the user's head.

In stores this summer?

If the schedule is the same as in the United States, then the Apple Vision Pro could be released a few weeks after the training of French employees at Apple headquarters. According to today's information, the seminar will take place“in the middle of the year”.
