Turn on and set up Apple Vision Pro

When you turn on Apple Vision Pro for the first time, you’re guided through the simple setup process—all you need is a Wi-Fi connection. If you have an iPhone with iOS 17 or later, or an iPad with iPadOS 17 or later, you can also transfer your data to your new Apple Vision Pro using Quick Start.

Complete setup

  1. Connect the battery to Apple Vision Pro. When you hear a tone, it’s ready to wear. See Connect the battery to Apple Vision Pro.

    If you connect the battery and you don’t hear a tone after 30-45 seconds, press and hold the top button for a few seconds to turn on your Apple Vision Pro.

  2. Put the head band over the back of your head, then slide Apple Vision Pro down over your face. The displays turn on when Apple Vision Pro detects your eyes.

    • Use Quick Start: If you have an iPhone with iOS 17 or iPad with iPadOS 17 or later, you can use Quick Start to automatically set up your new device. Bring the two devices close together, then follow the instructions.

    • Set Up Manually: If you don’t have an iPhone with iOS 17 or iPad with iPadOS 17 or later, double-click the Digital Crown to set up manually.
