Apple Vision Pro App Store access issues for users outside supported regions

I’ve been using the Apple Vision Pro every day since I bought it in September 2024. However getting apps are a pain for me, because I don’t live in a country where the Apple Vision Pro is sold.


Now I can work-around this, as I have an Apple Account set up in the UK, and I can get the apps I need, but I’m not going to sign up for subscriptions like Apple One a second time, as I already have it in my home country (Ireland). Same goes for other subscriptions.


Why is Apple just not bothered to open up the Vision Pro App Store in other countries? I’ve been using the the Mac / iOS / iPadOS App stores here in Ireland for years, and Apple usually makes their services available in Ireland almost as soon upon launch. OK, so the Vision Pro is not sold in Ireland (there are no Apple Stores in the Republic, only Northern Ireland) but surely it’s only a software switch-on for them to open the Vision Pro App Store in other countries?

Your best answer, you know. Apple doesn't sell this device in your country, so it has not set up an App Store for the device in your country. When the device is available for sale in the Republic, the App Store will become available.
