With WWDC less than two days away (refer to my blog page countdown for the exact number), it’s hard to expect talking about anything else, but that’s what I’m doing in this article (for WWDC rumor coverage, refer to my WWDC roundup article, updated daily). In fact, I’m talking about everything other than WWDC here.

First, the Vision Pro is finally going to launch outside the US (specifically, the UK, Canada, France and China) next month (specifically the 3rd/4th week, although the France launch has the specified date of July 29, so that might be when the Vision Pro releases in the other countries), which makes sense given that UK Apple Stores have gotten big Vision Pro deliveries with pallets (maybe demo couches?), which the employees can’t open yet. The stores themselves are going to be refreshed, too. The announcement, according to MacRumors, might come at WWDC due to the relative closeness between WWDC and late July, but this is just speculation.

Second (and last: there is really this little), the M3 MacBook Air can now be bought refurbished in the US, granting big deals (and don’t worry, Apple says that everything is thoroughly cleaned and cased for faults). However, the deals—$929 13”, $1,099 15” at base—don’t match with Amazon’s deals (in one case even for a shiny-new Air), so I wouldn’t recommend going to the refurbished store.
