not sure about that last point - being tethered to an iPhone might not be such a bad thing (at least while the technology matures).
Every Vision(Pro) user will likely have an iPhone (so no restriction in market size).
It allows to offload some weight off your head, it will provide you with yearly computing power upgrades, wireless connectivity out of the box - not the worst compromise in my view. They could use a thunderbolt, USB-4 port on a future iPhone for fast wired connectivity.
interesting - they should find a way to fix that screen looking issue at least for Apple Devices.
Very interested to make my own experiences with the VisionPro.
I am pleased that others in countries other than the United States will be able to enjoy the Apple Vision Pro. I absolutely love mine, and use it hours each day. It is increased my productivity dramatically. It was well worth the price paid.
I'm buying my 2nd Vision Pro in August...this one is gonna sit in a closet for 20 years unopened. Gonna buy a 2nd carrying case & battery as well. #gettriggeredtrolls

I’m sure this will make 4 more people very happy indeed.
I have no intention to send it back - it will be in my business luggage for long distance traveling and once a smaller and lighter version will be available I am happy to have a travel and a home version.
Many seem to be completely uninspired to say the least
The term overpriced is subjective.
Personally I think paying $6 for a bud light is over priced but someone could say the same bout me ordering a shot of Jameson for $10
Most android flagships are over priced in my opinion and over hyped but again. Subjective.
people say iPhones are over priced for what they offer or according to android zealots, don’t offer. Subjective.
I enjoyed it when I had one but I returned it simply because a nearly $4k purchase wasn’t ideal and had ro be smart since I graduated grad school and I’m moving
Yeah, I've not seen a single person (even those who've kept and use their AVP) who find the price appropriate
It's essentially a given that it's overpriced
I don’t need to use it to understand the concept and I‘ll love it for what I am going to use it.
Makes totally sense - we all must set priorities - € 5 k is fully within my toy budget for this year - spent double of that last year for a vacation in West Canada - that was a total waste of money IMHO
You nailed it. For me it was worth every penny. It is a glimpse into the future of computing and yes, it’s got a high price tag for a consumer device, but whether or not the price is worth the cost is up to each individual and very much in the eye of the beholder. Not all shade thrown it’s way boils down to the cost and the clearly bruised egos of some who are butt hurt that they can’t go buy one off the shelf but there’s quite a bit of that floating around.
It’s no different than which vehicle you drive. I don’t need to drive around in a $75,000 truck like quite a few guys I know. I don’t want one and I don’t need one. Nobody I know who has one actually needs one except for a couple of friends, one who drives a truck provided by his employer and another who is self-employed and need theirs for their job. My Jeep works just fine for me. I bought it in 2018 and it’s been paid off for a couple of years. As little as I drive it I’ll have it for 10 years. If I choose to spend the difference on an AVP and a few other things who cares? Life is all about choices.

Cushion with magnet: bad idea
The device is not too fragile; just don’t drop it or force it to bend.
Guest mode now remembers guests’ settings in VisionOS 2.0
See-through is much better in VisionOS 2.0.
The AVP could be as gimmicky as you allow it to be, or it could be a very useful productivity tool. That depends on the user.
Quest vs AVP = Toy truck vs Real truck
I’ve had one since the beginning of May and I still use it every single day. Don’t see that changing.
I would love to get one in the future but it's a little outside my budget at the moment. However I do think it needs better app support and more portability. Vision Pro was probably released 5 to 10 years too early.
some apple stores need to check on their employee's attitude. i went to test one of this out and was 5 mins late to my appointment and they refused to let me try it. the store manager wouldn't even talk to me directly even tho he was standing 6 feet away from, he kept sending an employee back and forth to relay messages between us.
the store was also empty and the rest of the employees were just chatting. so i never tried the headset, i was looking forward to it, but they made it too hard to even look at it.

The line of clapping drones…….oooof. Not a product I am interested in purchasing.
dude, EVERYTHING is subjective when it comes to expressing feelings about a product. Are you kidding? That’s the whole point of a forum like this.
If you’re saying it can’t be overpriced since “overpriced” is subjective, then NOTHING can ever be considered overpriced. In that case, Apple could charge $50,000 for an AVP, and you’d still have to say that it’s only overpriced for people who can’t afford it.
Come on now—that’s not how the world works. Products are deemed overpriced when the great majority of the public agree that they are. And the overwhelming number of people feel AVP is overpriced.
