Apple's (AAPL) Vision Pro mixed reality headset will launch in China later this year, Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly told Chinese media Sunday.

The headset, which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:launched in the U.S. earlier th🤪is year and starts at around $3,499, is Apple's first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:venture into a new category of tech in years.

The comment came during Cook's visit to China for the annual China Development Forum. Cook also attended the opening of a new Apple store in Shanghai, now its second-largest store in the world, and during other events said China is "critical" to Apple's business, because of how much of the company's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:supply chain is in China, and how important the market is to Apple's sales.

Cook's trip to China comes at an important time for Apple, as the company faces 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:headwinds in China amid rising competition and a soft economic recovery. Wedbush analysts said in a Monday note that Cook's China trip represents Apple "essentia🥃lly doubling down on China," despite plans to move parts of its supply chain to India and Vietnam from China.

Apple shares were down 1.2% in early trading Monday as the European Union (EU) 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced an investigation into whether changes Apple and other tech giants made to comply with the EU's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Digital Markets Act (DMA) were enough to meet the new law's requirements. Appl🎃e shares have lost over 8% of their value so far in 2024.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Vision Pro's launch plan in China.
