NEUTRAL IMPACT
Apple's Vision Pro headset approved by FCC, lacks Wi-Fi 6E but supports Wi-Fi 6. Pre-orders and launch dates announced with a high price point. Active preparations and a new face-scanning feature for sizing are highlighted.
The lack of Wi-Fi 6E in Apple's Vision Pro may disappoint some consumers expecting the latest technology, but the FCC approval and the announcement of pre-order and launch dates are positive steps forward. The high price point could limit the initial market impact, and the overall effect on the stock is likely to be neutral in the short term as the market absorbs the news and weighs the product's potential success against its limitations and price.
