The company touted more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye, combined with an advanced spatial audio system, Vision Pro can allow people to turn any space into a personal theatre with new spatial experiences.

Later this week in a university neighbourhood in Seoul, Apple opens the doors at Hongdae, its seventh retail store in South Korea and the 100th Apple Store location in the Asia-Pacific region.

Apple Inc. is the personal technology company behind the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
