More and more bloggers have obtained Vision Pro, and Huaqiangbei, with its keen sense of smell, is not lagging behind.

On February 6th, Interface News learned from a seller in Huaqiangbei that Huaqiangbei currently has a small amount of Vision Pro in stock, priced at around 40000 RMB. On Apple's official page, this device is priced between $3499 and $3899, approximately 25000 to 28000 yuan.

These goods are mainly carried back by "human flesh" from overseas, with a high premium. Some goods have not yet arrived in mainland China, but merchants have started to attract potential buyers online. This seller also stated that they hope to sell the high priced Vision Pro as soon as possible, because "a lot of goods will come after the New Year, and time is the cost".

On that day, Interface News visited the mainstream market in Huaqiangbei and found that as the Spring Festival approached, most stalls had already closed for vacation, and the remaining stores still in operation mainly focused on low value mobile phone accessories and repairs. On the first floor of SEG Electronic Plaza, there are no VR devices sold at the stalls that open the doors.

The high price of Vision Pro does not match the customers of Huaqiangbei. It can be certain that selling Vision Pro will not be a long-term business for Huaqiangbei, but a short-term channel business. Even in the past, VR/AR glasses were not mainstream products of Huaqiangbei. In the gaming industry, PS5 and other gaming consoles are much more popular than virtual reality glasses.

However, Huaqiangbei also had a period of "VR carnival". From 2016 to 2017, the VR market was in a period of rapid growth. Represented by HTC Vive, global brands were chasing the consumer VR market. Later acquired by Meta, Oculus, Sony PSVR, and Samsung Gear VR were all launched at this time.

During this period, the most popular products in Huaqiangbei were not these branded products, but VR boxes - a rudimentary equipment made of cardboard boxes or plastic with lenses, which were sold for only a few yuan.

By placing the phone in a VR box, the screen content of the phone can be converted into a certain degree of 3D image. According to media reports at the time, these products were mostly sold to second tier and lower tier markets, as well as overseas markets with lower consumer power such as Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

Industry insiders have stated that although the VR boxes from Huaqiangbei are not selling well in the market, they still have considerable sales to this day.

Now with Apple's entry, VR devices have become popular again, and the "Huaqiang North Edition Vision Pro" priced at less than 2000 yuan has appeared. As a barometer of the consumer electronics market, the popularity of AR/VR devices may also be confirmed in Huaqiangbei in the near future.
