Using Apple Vison Pro in a different region

Hi, I live in France, and I have US Apple ID, but I can not access to Apple Store, can you give me a tricks to get access in France ? (vPn , .. ) please

Hi. I live in Ukraine. I have both - UA and US Apple accounts and I bought Vision Pro in mid Feb.

from my experience:

• I was able to activate Vision Pro even with UA account;
• Apple Music works on Vision Pro with Ukraine (UA) account but I have no access to App Store and can’t download apps (only workaround - I have iPad Pro with same ua account, if I download new iPad app - it also appears on Vision Pro in compatible apps);
• to download apps - I need to switch to US account, than I can switch back to UA account and installed Apps will work;
• TV+ and Apple Arcade don’t work with UA account on Vision Pro (same time - Apple Music works without any issues);
• I don’t use vpn for all mentioned points

Hi Obadr,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Re: Vision Pro working abroad : Vision Pro from the US

let’s say I will use a US region AppStore can I use it in the uae normally or will it lock totally ?!

From the Q & A at the bottom of the "Buy Vision Pro" web-page: Buy Apple Vision Pro - Apple

"If an international customer purchases Apple Vision Pro in the U.S. and then tries to use it abroad, how does their experience differ from a U.S.-based customer?"

• • Apple Vision Pro only supports U.S. English for language and typing and English for Siri and Dictation.
  • The App Store requires an Apple ID with the region set to the U.S.
  • Purchases on the Apple Music and Apple TV app require an Apple ID with region set to the U.S.
  • For customers with vision correction needs, ZEISS will only accept vision prescriptions written by U.S. eye-care professionals and will only ship to U.S. locations.
  • Customers may not be able to access certain apps, features, or content due to licensing or other restrictions in those countries or regions.
  • Apple Support is only available in the U.S.

All the best :-)

Apple Vision Pro is currently only available in US. If you can be patient, we will see which countries Apple makes it available to later this year.

Eg: The Q & A's at the bottom of : Buy Apple Vision Pro - Apple

says:

"Apple Vision Pro is only available for sale in the U.S. and is designed for customers in the U.S. to use at home, at work, and while traveling. We look forward to bringing Apple Vision Pro to more countries later this year".

When you purchase an Apple device like the Apple Vision Pro in a specific region, it is typically set to that region's settings, including the App Store region. If you order a device from the US and use a US-based App Store, there may be restrictions or limitations when using the device in a different region like the UAE.

Here are some potential issues you may encounter:

1. App Store Region: If you are using a US-based App Store account on the Apple Vision Pro while in the UAE, you may not have access to certain apps or services that are region-restricted. Some apps may not be available for download or may have different functionalities based on your location.

2. App Compatibility: Some apps may behave differently or may not function properly when used in a different region than the one they were intended for. This could impact the overall user experience on the device.

3. Apple Services: Certain Apple services, such as Apple Music, iCloud, and Apple Pay, may have limitations or differ in availability based on your device's region settings.

To address these issues, you may need to consider changing the region settings on your Apple Vision Pro to reflect your current location in the UAE. This could involve updating the device's region settings, creating a new Apple ID linked to a UAE-based App Store account, or using region-specific services and apps that are compatible in the UAE.

It's recommended to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store in the UAE for guidance on how to best set up and use your Apple Vision Pro in your current region. They can provide specific instructions on adjusting the device settings and ensuring compatibility with local services and apps.

Hi, how do you switch between accounts, while having active Apple Music? (If I understood right).
