Headset Apple Vision Pro is currently only sold in the United States, but users around the world are showing interest in it, and China is no exception. Server 9to5Mac reported this week that a number of entrepreneurs in China are offering rental Vision Pro, to meet the demand to try a product that is currently only available for purchase in the US.

One of the rental companies of this type boasts that only a few days after the start of sales of the headset Vision Pro has more than ten thousand customers. The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports that on Monday it was possible to find dozens of rental ads in Beijing, Shanghai, Xian in the central province of Shaanxi and Nanjing in the eastern province of Jiangsu. Beijing VR startup Vision Space operates several brick-and-mortar locations that allow customers to try out the equipment for 98 yuan per hour, which is roughly $300. The largest of these, located in the Hopson shopping center, One in eastern Beijing, more than 4 customers have come since February 10, said company founder and CEO Song Lei.

Rental prices VisionThe prices vary, and range from the aforementioned 300 crowns per hour to a full-day rental, which will cost the user approximately 4800 crowns per day. In the USA Apple offers free demo sessions and customers can get a headset purchase and then return it within 14 days and get a full refund. For those renting equipment, this appears to be a potentially viable way to get Vision Pro free, with one person saying they are fully booked and expect to get the full price of the device back within the first three months. The only potential obstacle to this plan is the possibility that the company Apple expand facilities to China before landlords can make a profit on them. CEO Tim Cook he promised that Vision Pro will go on sale in China soon. According to one report, it should be in April or May. Even so, rental income plus resale should be enough to make this a profitable venture.
