📣 Apple Vision Pro: High Tech, High Discomfort
posted 15 Feb 2024
American buyers of Apple's augmented reality glasses, the Vision Pro, are returning the device due to its uncomfortable fit, causing headaches, dizziness, and rapid eye fatigue. With a hefty price tag of $3,500, the company offers a 14-day return policy.
These issues have been common in the VR glasses market since the advent of the first devices. However, this negative experience significantly undermines Vision Pro's utility, as users find it impossible to use the glasses for extended work or leisure activities.
It was simply way too uncomfortable to wear even for short periods of time both due to the weight and the strap designs. I wanted to use it, but dreaded putting it on,shared a product manager from The Verge.
At first glance, these seem like typical teething problems for a novel high-tech product. But the issues extend further. Many users complain about poor adaptation of both standard and work applications, and a lack of support for certain file types, which hinders basic task performance.
In spite of the issues and the return of the devices, most users look forward to the next iteration of Apple Vision Pro. And for those who are comfortable with their device, we offer a guide on the best ways to use Vision Pro in everyday life.
