Apple provides a “Find Me” service that allows you to track devices associated with your Apple ID if they are lost or stolen. The MR headset Vision Pro, which Apple started selling in the United States on February 2, 2024, also supports this “Find” app, but some functions seem to be limited.
According to the Vision Pro’s official support page published by Apple, the Vision Pro cannot be used to locate the unit from the Find My app, play sound from the unit’s speakers, or turn on Lost Mode.

The reason for this limitation is the Vision Pro’s battery structure. Vision Pro does not have a built-in battery; it is connected to an external battery using a cable.

Similar to iPhones, used devices without activation locks can only be used by the previous owner. Apple’s support page also states, “Do not purchase a used Vision Pro that is protected by an activation lock,” and you need to remove the activation lock from the “Search” app not only at the time of purchase but also when you sell it. is.
Vision Pro is already expensive. Domestic sales are undecided, but if you have the opportunity to carry it around, it may be safe to put the AirTag in your carrying bag.
