The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

      He just wants to hate Apple and really has no clue about this headset. I find it futile to reply to these types of people.

        I know it’s overpriced bullshit. Apple has earned every drop of hate I ever give them, it comes from many years hands on experience. But sure I’m just some random windows lover or whatever you pegged me for

          Inflammatory rhetoric is the kind of thing that leads to the problems in society these days

          If you genuinely think it’s worth less than $200 then I don’t know what to tell you.

            But do you think 3500€ headset is worth its price? Especially only to be used for short time fun, per fully charged battery. Not to mock, but did they include a longer than 0.5m cable in the package and/or the charger? Probably yes but would be ironic if they would just send in the classic apple package.

              To me, no I would never pay $3500 for a headset. But I can also appreciate the insane amount of tech that’s included in it. Historically the 3rd or 4th gen of a new apple product is where they really hit their stride. And hopefully in this case come down in price.

              As for the battery I personally don’t think that would be much of an issue since when I think about my main use case for it I’d be sitting on the couch and it would just be plugged into the wall. I couldn’t find the length of included usb-c cable online but I have a few 2 meter ones already that I would use.

              On flights I can see it being frustrating for sure.

                I would have said 2k€ would be a good price, but probably because its apple their 75% additional apple fee added it, for a non mobile vr/ar headset thats too heavy to stay on for longer than an hour.

                  The thing you have to factor in is they can’t make very many of them due to technical limitations. I agree $2k would be a good price but if they will sell as many as they could possibly make at $3.5k they aren’t going to sell for less. Gotta recoup all that R&D cost somehow.

                  I wouldn’t be surprised to see a better, more refined headset from Apple for under $2k in the next few years. I’m sure they know $3500 is out of reach for the vast majority of consumers.

                    Thats the issue with apple, since they saw big success in that price range they will never go down. Did you ever saw a cheaper iphone than the last one? Not that i can remember, they just keep increasing even on older models sometimes
