Apple Reveals 'Vision Pro' Headset and visionOS

[klasma]

Those poor guys who were hoping for $1500.

 

[seattleboi1982]

apple has lost their mind in pricing.

 

[wideEyedPupil]

They're definitively positioning this as a premium / pro product. Not a consumer product; I'd be shocked if it's under $2k.

$3K given it's got an M2 and R1 inside it. 5000 patents, Zeiss lenses, prob an extra $200 per pair of lenses for vision correction … at least $3K I'm guessing. Oh price came in as I wrote this ~$3.4k I think they said.

 

[iamgalt]

$3499?!!!! Nope.

 

[MacDaddyPanda]

This would be great for Drone Piloting.

 

[McWetty]

$3500… Fook.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

$3499 without tax! Sheeesh! This is expensive!

 

[WilliamG]

Did I hear correctly that with external battery pack, it only lasts 2 hours? so this really is a tethered to the wall product

Depends what you're doing. If you're sitting down then being plugged in is no big deal. Can also have multiple batteries if that's your thing.

 

[ethanwa79]

After tax that's over $4000. Hahahaha HARD PASS

 

[jasoncarle]

Then you don't need the product.

You're not wrong...

The price

 

[Duncan-UK]

Jeez that’s expensive! It’s wonderful but insanely great in price. Maybe in 5 years time.

 

[krifor03]

$3500 and the year after it will be smaller and cheaper.....

 

[JPack]

3499 and available next year - lol....

Kuo was right, as usual.

Will wait a couple years too see if any must-have features exist.

Right now I could use a setup that replaces the several monitors and laptops on my desk, but it would have to come with HDMI inputs.

Right now it seems its lacking in a lot of the critical IO that would make it generally useful.

The probing questions:

how much does the stand and polishing cloth cost?

And the wheels for the battery pack!

 

[mattopotamus]

This seems like a device for someone that is very self-isolated. I don't mean that to be snarky, but if you are alone all day, you really may use it for hours and hours at a time. For 99% of people, this is a product that needs to slim down into glasses form.

 

[Marshall73]

$3499 I’ll take two please. Pmsl

 

[Septercius]

$3500, but only in the US initially?

 

[LeeW]

Lol, not until 2024

 

[Cyberius11]

At $2k I'd be down. Even $2500. $3500, I'm out.

 

[lanomds1]

The price is outrageous 😱

 

[Kylo83]

Apple has lost the plot, it will fail, it’s not even proper vr headset and way to expensive, don’t get it, this keynote has been a huge let down

 

[blazerunner]

If the VR Headset isn't compatible with other platforms, it's going to fail.
