Many buyers of the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset are now offering it for rental. A phenomenon that we have observed to be particularly widespread in China, but also in France. It must be said that the device has something to seduce: with its two 4K screens, it offers extraordinary definition compared to what other big names in the sector can offer us (Meta, Sony, etc.). What's more, the operating system, namely visionOS, offers an experience very similar to that which can be found, for example, on iPad or Mac. The testers are therefore not disoriented, even if some still seem to havedifficult to master the initial configuration.
In France, you can find rentals of the Apple Vision Pro mainly on Le Bon Coin. Prices then vary froma few tens of euros per hourseveral hundred euros for one or more days of rental. However, we recommend that you go through an individual with caution; even more so if no deposit is required or if you do not sign a contract with the owner. Otherwise, be aware that these are arrangements made by professionals in most cases of this kind.
What is the interest for users today?
Renting an Apple Vision Pro by the hour represents a significant advantage: that of cost, of course. Let us remember that the device costs a trifle of3 499 dollars, new, in Apple Store. This price is set for the United States only. We should be able to discover the product around4 000 eurosin mainland France, most likely before summer.
Testing the Vision Pro for a short time also allows you to get an idea of its value proposition, before purchasing it. This would thus avoid having toreturn the itemwhile waiting for a refund in the event of dissatisfaction, a procedure which would today affect almost 1% of users who have purchased the beast. Apple does not confirm this figure, which would however be of the order of the corresponding statistic with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Renting the Vision Pro is also of significant interest for professional use, for example to try out the device at a trade show or to lead a real estate tour session in virtual reality. We also found a site specializing in the field, simply titledVision Pro Hire. Other players seem to offer a fairly similar service, such asRealereum.
Payment in installments (monthly) at Apple
To afford the Vision Pro without breaking the bank, you should also know that Apple offers its own payment service in several installments. If you have the Apple Card (unavailable in France), you can choose to buy the mixed reality headset by paying only a few tens of euros each month. All with a0% rate: it is the manufacturer who finances. What's more, you benefit here from no less than 3% ofcashback. At $3,499, this still corresponds to no less than $105. An amount to then spend in the Apple Store, for example on the purchase of accessories such as an additional external battery or by choosing Macs or iPads.
In France and other countries, we know, finally, that certain Apple partner stores and the Apple firm's own stores offer a financing option to businesses. On the other hand, it is imperative to prove your professional status to benefit from it (as with a Kbis extract, in France), and no one knows at the moment whether the Vision Pro will also be entitled to this payment offer in several installments. Macs, on the other hand, can be obtained with payment ontwenty-four months.
