    If your users don’t get what you’re trying to do, maybe try to do something better?

    As far as I can tell this is a really nice and well built headset, with a great screen, but it doesn’t actually do what all the other VR headsets do: Play VR games. Telling that even people already used to forking over large sums to Apple aren’t really interested in paying $3500 to arrange iPhone apps around their living room.

    From one video i watched about the apple vision pro, it looked like it had some really cool features

    Could you replicate every single one of those features with a google cardboard? I think so, but the extra $34999 is worth it for the apple branding

      This is so far from the truth I just have to assume you’re making a “joke” and not an apple hater who’s too fanatical to form their own opinions.

      The vision costs a shit load of money because they’ve put an abundance technology and R&D into the product to make it capable of things no other VR/AR headset is capable of. By all accounts the screen resolution, response rate, 3D tracking, and gesture recognition create an experience that other headsets can attempt to mimic but will fall short of. Watch MKBHD’s videos on it, it’s genuinely a really impressive piece of technology.

      And yes, they charge more because they are Apple and they know their hoards of loyal followers will buy anything they make.

    Seems like a decent chunk of apple users are just idiots. Not because they don’t want the AR, but because the reason is because they couldn’t figure it out.

      I’ve said it before, but the overly simplistic interfaces and the complete lack of customization of iOS means one thing

          I find the iPhone interface extremely unintuitive. I have one for work, and I’m a complete imbecile at using it, despite being decently tech-savvy. Everything I want to do is not were I expect it to be, it takes me forever to find things and settings.

        I’m afraid that your Gen Z-ers often graduate college without knowing how to use an email app or create a file structure like folders. It’s because they grew up on iPads and didn’t have to learn that.

          Yep. I know far more Z’s and younger that use iPhone (ah, hell, Gen X and younger)

    Why are devices like this called “Pro”? Are there people making their living as goggle-laden douche nozzles?

      Pro is now a marketing term that has nothing to do anymore with its original ‘professional’.

    1% of the headsets are returned. 30% of those returns (0.3% of the overall headsets) are because the user couldn’t figure it out.

    This is clickbait.

      To save me reading what is surely a terrible article, what aren’t people getting?

        Returns are very low. If the tittle talks only about a PERCENTAGE OF that low number, while that percentage being a high number, it is easily confused. Confusion is the goal of the modern journalMARKETINGist

        Edit: I will not remove or replace the word tittle. I like it.
