The Apple Vision Pro, released at a price tag of $3,500, has garnered mixed reactions from users and tech enthusiasts alike. Reviews and user experiences have varied widely, with some praising its capabilities as a portable 3D theater and its potential for productivity and media consumption, while others have pointed out discomfort, high costs, and practicality issues. Despite the innovative technology it packs, doubts about its value for the mass consumer have been raised, with some users experiencing eyestrain and others questioning the device's performance in professional settings. The Vision Pro has been described as Apple's most ambitious yet strangest product, indicating a significant step into spatial computing but also highlighting challenges in wider adoption. Early return rates have been noted as low, suggesting a cautious but interested reception among consumers.
There's definitely $3,500 worth of technology in the device, but maybe not $3,500 worth of value for the mass consumer just yet," says Spatial Dynamics Co-CEO Cathy Hackl on the Apple Vision Pro. https://t.co/IziR53zeA0

The most compelling aspect of Vision Pro for me at the moment is “headphones for your face”. Fully immersive content like dinosaurs, etc. With apple’s reach into big media with AppleTV, Music, etc. They have a huge advantage over G & YT, or FB & Reels
It’s been 15 days aince the Apple Vision Pro came out. Prepare for a flood of pouty face YouTubers with the headline “Why I’m Returning the Vision Pro” any day now…

Unfortunately Vision Pro mirroring is much worse than MacBook Air’s screen (not to mention desktop). DPI is too low. It’s an impressive POC, and will be good in a couple generations when it can simulate Retina display. This is my only solid use case, so I guess I’ll return it.

Spatial video + Apple Vision Pro is no joke or even a toy. I just spent a few hours randomly trying things by using iPhone and watching on AVP—scenes around Tokyo—WOW super fun. Definitely going to take practice/skill but easy to see this expanding to actual talented people.

It’s not “just the f YouTubers”. Some renowned developers are also returning their Vision Pro. Important to understand why. Is it comfort, utility, social awkwardness, or something else? I understand many prefer spend $3500 on a refined V2 rather than $8k on v1+v2. https://t.co/B3MwKkPcUU
So many comments on this post using Vision Pro’s price as an argument. Yes, it’s insanely expensive just to watch 3D movies. A general rule of thumb: if you’re using price as a major determining factor of its worth, this device is just not for you — wait for v4. https://t.co/tVBXVsWPUH
Everything in its right place. Social media’s still best on a phone. Writing’s still best on a laptop. What’s best on the #AppleVisionPro besides watching stuff? Excited to find/create it
Simply, yes. Can’t wait to learn more about this and I’m surprised it’s not been done before by a “big player”. Fitness in VR is fantastic, and we’ve been crying out for a lightweight headset made specifically for this. https://t.co/HFCWLBYw9c

Two weeks in, I'm loving the Apple Vision Pro. I'm using it to consume media (movies, news, YT, etc). Also trying other use cases (because it's so cool), but so far nothing else has really stuck yet. Been catching up on all the 3D movies I didn't see over the past 10 years.
