Apple’s latest product, Vision Pro, was expected to be a game changer in the virtual reality market. The $3,500 headset promised to deliver an immersive, realistic experience with a high-resolution display, advanced sensors, and spatial audio. However, not everyone was impressed with the device, as many early adopters began returning the Vision Pro due to various issues.
One of the biggest complaints is the discomfort caused by the design and weight of the headset. Some users have reported headaches, eyestrain, motion sickness, and even ruptured blood vessels after using the device for a short period of time. The Vision Pro is front-heavy, making it difficult to wear for long periods of time. Some users suggested that Apple should include a counterweight or strap to keep the device balanced.
Another issue is the lack of productivity and entertainment features to justify the high price tag. Users have complained that some popular apps like Figma, Slack, and Netflix cannot display on the headset. They also criticized limited multitasking and file management features and the lack of a “killer app” to showcase the device’s potential. Some users said they expected more from Apple, which is known for innovation and user experience.
Negative feedback from some early adopters has raised questions about Vision Pro’s future and its impact on the VR industry. Some users said they would wait for a future update or iteration, while others said they would look for alternatives from other brands. Apple hasn’t commented on the Vision Pro’s return rate or user satisfaction, but it appears it will have to fix issues and improve the device to win over consumers.
