I'm not worried about Apple as a company, but the decision to release a product like this, when the hardware clearly isn't there to enable a comfortable experience. I'm just baffled. It feels like a decision made by a company who's feeling pressure to keep shareholders happy, as opposed to marching to the beat of its own drum, which is what got it here in the first place.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Vision Pro Owners Complain of Headaches, Neck Issues and Black Eyes

Yes, I’ve had problems with the Vision Pro. My concerns span the entire system, its concept and reality. It obstructs your view of the world and attaches screens directly to your face.
Seriously? So - when I feel pressure on my cheeks, I know I’m wearing it wrong. Simple adjustment with the solo strap and it’s even between forehead and cheek. That’s when you know. Also, adjust the strap pressure.
Really - not sure where people go wrong with technology. Not thinking I suppose.

It's weirdly great looking when it's not on someone's face. But stupid looking when someone's wearing it.
You don't really grasp how bulbous it actually is before it's pressed against someone's face.
I have to assume that one of Apple's first priorities was creating a headset that has an "iconic" design with a unique and easily recognisable silhouette. They do this with every product and they achieved this for AVP.
What really makes AVP unacceptably ugly is when EyeSight gets activated. A joke and a nightmare to look at. They should disable it for all users with the next update.
I knew the Vision Pro would be uncomfortable because the AirPods Max are so uncomfortable. Apple doesn’t do ergonomics very well
Absolutely no problems at all. I find the VisionPro very comfortable on my face using the standard strap
I might be crazy but I suspect that everything about the AVP is in preparation for a Neuralink-type system. The interface will be tweaked and refined, apps will proliferate, and eventually the don’t-call-them-goggles will disappear. Only then will the AVP become as ubiquitous as iPhones and AirPods.
I did the demo and they used my glasses and said that they had in stock at the store the correct lenses. I strongly doubt they had those because my prescription is for something a little bit complex. Did you get prescription inserts for this gadget?
When they can get this down to a form factor that looks like the Ray-Ban glasses that their competitor is trying to hawk them this will be a fantastic product. But that’s probably five years from now.
Emily Olman, marketing chief of Hopscotch Interactive, has apparently never had a black eye before. And, as a result, has never had to hold a cold bag of peas or a slab of meat over it to bring down the swelling. Good on her!
That’s a very interesting concept all of the ANSI safety standards regarding light sources and exposure to eyes make several assumptions. I don’t know that there’s a safety standard for a light emitting source that is like you said 2 cm away from your iris.
“People sometimes enjoy certain activities so much, they end up causing themselves physical pain.”
However, that won’t get as many eyes as saying literally ANYTHING about Apple, so I’ll just run that phrase through the ol’ clickbaiterizer.

Someone’s never had a black eye before. Which, I mean, hooray for them!
“I’ve never had anyone punch me in the face or, really, anywhere on my body, but I’m pretty sure from what I’ve seen on TV, this is kinda like a black eye. Like almost exactly like a black eye.”
I watched eight hours of wrestlemania in two sessions with no issues. Sorry to hear about all this, but results definitely vary.
You know, it could just be that a good number of people lack the will, constitution and fortitude to handle… ummm… one half of a kilogram.
I mean, there are governments that keep a 1 kilogram weight locked away from the public for a reason! I’m sure?
It sounds like it has plenty of problems to solve.
Likely a good amount of truth to that. I remember reading about how iPhone folks thought the fact that the 2G iPhone would make speakers buzz was an enormous issue… but everyone else (especially the Blackberry folks) knew it as “the way these things work when you place them next to those things and a ring happens”.
People who enjoy nice long walks on mountainous trails report being tired immediately after and sore days after that…
I like the Vision Pro. Oh no, it makes my neck hurt.
I like Chocolate. Oh, no it makes me fat.
I like Rock and Roll. Oh no it makes me deaf.
I like (bleep). Oh no it makes me blind.
Get.a.grip. Things in moderation people.
