Apple’s Vision Pro Has Little to Watch

Bloomberg’s Consumer Tech Editor Mark Gurman says this is unlikely to change before the release of Apple’s next version of the headset.

    It’s simply the price. Developers know that very few consumers will pay $3,500 for this device so they have little to no incentive to create apps for the Vision Pro.

      NO it’s not that’s just a silly exaggeration! The price isn’t meant to be afforded by everyone it’s meant to be niche. FFS even the Apple Pro Display is so much higher & if you upgrade a MacBook Pro with ram and HDD it easily comes close to 3500 already.

    Tim Cook – good operationally but not a great visionary

      You could say that — Tim Cook – good operationally but not a great Apple vision pro. (See what I did there? I’ll be here all day people 😉 )

    The sad part is they are charging those prices and then will come out with a new one probably every year for the same price 😂😂😂😂

      Apple products have a high resale value. Keep yours in new condition and sell it when the new version comes out.

    So dumb to compare Vision pro to other mainstream launches, it’s not a mainstream price point. It’s not that hard to understand.

    Let’s get one thing clear, If Jobs was alive to see the Vision Pro, he would absolutely HATE everything about it. It’s clunky, ugly, doesn’t solve real life needs, he would not have released until it looked like the Meta glasses but with the Vision pro compute power

      if Steve was alive…the Apple
      would have been bankrupt a long time ago as he hates iPhone bigger than iPhone 5

    Another example of a product launching way earlier than it should on a consumer level. Nobody is spending $3.5K on this device. Just to watch movies and do whatever work they would do on a computer.

    • @PSy84

      August 18, 2025 at 6:43 pm

      in Silicon Valley, this is actually the most successful strategy…release for niche market with very high price, then to next version as a little cheaper since extrusion dies etc are already paid for in the version 1 so no additional cost now, then next version is for the masses with affordable price and other things are solved already

  7. @mikey3672

    August 18, 2025 at 5:22 pm

    A whole gaming desktop setup and a fantastic monitor is cheaper than this junk. That’s why

  8. @Piglet2000

    August 18, 2025 at 5:58 pm

    2 major reasons.

    1. The device is inconvenient to use. It’s heavy and it’s not easy to share. There’s no profiles where the headset recognizes your face and automatically readjust the eye tracking.
    2. Apple is nickel and diming this product with developers. A usb c cable that connects the device to the mac cost like $300 and doesn’t come included with the device. The device is already expensive and they make it even more expensive to build apps for.

  9. @plisskenetic

    August 18, 2025 at 7:24 pm

    Such utter BS! The Vision Pro has in fact LOTS to see and use!

  10. @adh2298

    August 18, 2025 at 7:26 pm

    I think they’re stuck because they wanted to market the Vision Pro as If it’s a business / workspace oriented headset and this was clearly a mistake because I doubt very many ppl even the ones who can afford it, actually want to use it for those purposes. Most ppl want hi res gaming and hi def cinema on vr headsets, not work and productivity applications.

    At this point, they’re treating this product basically like a test case to gauge consumer interest and feedback for future releases.

  11. @ritzenhauf

    August 18, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    They tried to sell it with dinosaurs, like it was for gamer kids.

    This will fail like 3d glasses

  13. @davidortega4055

    He getting on my nerves 😅

    Worst Apple product! Meta glasses are better, simplistic and easy to use

    • @williamcousert

      August 18, 2025 at 9:22 pm

      The only thing better about the Quest 3 is the price. You can buy seven Quest 3 headsets for the price of a single Vision Pro. Everything else on the Vision Pro is better.

  15. @williamcousert

    August 18, 2025 at 9:20 pm

    Apple should have sold this as a developer device, so developers can create the apps that we’ll all be using in a few years. They could have given their top developers free units.
