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

[CrysisDeu]

This product seems so un-Apple and like Tim Cook rushed it to market before he retires.

Apple always waited for tech to be a reasonable (price & hardware) before unleashing. This is like if they debuted AirPods in 2012 at a price $799 and the battery lasts 1 hour.

They have been un-Apple like for a while.

Battery life rarely increases for a product line when there is a set of requirements. Only outlier is the AS switch. It probably doesn’t matter if they delay for another year if they got the initial idea/use case wrong.

Oh they might cancel before release though

Apple always decline to comment on the customer complaints, they are perfect, perfect *******

 

[CrysisDeu]

Seems half baked. More effort into the life blood products, phones and iPad. BTW why the wait on new iPads?

It just tells us the “life blood products” won’t have much innovation either, if their new flagship model is like this

I use mine about six hours a day for work and watching content. No problems whatsoever. My work productivity has greatly improved, and I can’t imagine watching a movie any other way.

Not even if you have a home cinema setup?

I knew the Vision Pro would be uncomfortable because the AirPods Max are so uncomfortable. Apple doesn’t do ergonomics very well

We should’ve know from their mice

It's like the first iPhone- EVERYONE lambasted it because it was expensive AF with NO KEYBOARD.

Ah, no. Not even close. The original iPhone was called the "JesusPhone" by many. People weren't sure how well the virtual keyboard would work, but the whole concept of getting a REAL proper-rendering web browser on a phone, and well-rendered e-mail was widely applauded as revolutionary. Visual Voicemail was also a stunning feature.

If iPhone 1.0 had any ding against it, it was regarding battery life.

So Apple wanted to try and make this thing look cool, which it doesn't, but they created the single strap to make it look different. Every reviewer has said the single strap is a mistake because it is front heavy with all the cameras and the weight isn't balanced and it will start to hurt after a while. You would definitely feel the weight on your face. So, Apple included the jock-strap over your head strap instead, because that properly counter-balances the front so it is a lot less painful to wear. But I bet the fools that wasted money on this thing are wearing it with the single strap because that is what Apple shows in their advertisements. It looks dumb anyway, and even more so with the jock strap attachment over your head.

To be fair, most of the black eyes came from when spouses found out how much that thing cost...

 

[CarAnalogy]

Something is very off here; there is no way they got two "super dark black eyes" from wearing a headset.

Unless someone pulled the old "ink on the eyepiece" prank.

I watched eight hours of wrestlemania in two sessions with no issues. Sorry to hear about all this, but results definitely vary.

$3500 to watch 8 hours of fake wrestling. Talk about a complete waste of money.

$1 to watch fake any time of wrestling is also a waste of money.

Someone said that the reddit thread this came from didn’t even have that many posts.

So, if 100,000 say no issues and a few folks, that we don’t even know actually OWN AVP’s, says there’s an issue, well, the clickfish is out there and hungry already all we need now…

There are plenty of people on this thread who have had similar issues, and many of the people who originally reviewed the products complained about the weight, and eye strain issues, etc.
Stop pretending this is all a fallacy.

 

[ronno]

That’s not respect.

Exactly, some people are supposed to go to the gym to beef up their neck so they can support this heavy $3500 face computer. Gotcha.

 

[wmmead]

I use mine, not every day, but almost everyday for an hour or two at a time and that is about enough for me. No physical pain or issues with that amount of use for me.

 

[steve09090]

Self correcting device. I’d rather people had a 1 hour limit on a headset. Maybe people should set themselves an 8 hour limit on their phone.

 

[Beautyspin]

Thank God, this would have been a full-blown scandal if Vision Pro had been a huge hit. Luckily, it is a huge flop.

 

[kaycrystal626]

And Tech companies want us to wear VR headset for work in the future! No Thanks!

 

[FrozenDarkness]

Its fascinating to me that apple insists on using stainless steel for stuff on your head like vision pro or headphones. Wayy too heavy. Titanium and raise the price a little is the only way

 

[FrozenDarkness]

Nothing says work and entertainment spatial computing device like please take it off every 20-30 minutes. Super productive.

If it were a huge flop no one would still be talking about it. How are your google glasses going?

Snowflake alert

totally. just look at this rugged individualist alpha operator

If it were a huge flop no one would still be talking about it.

exactly that’s like how ping, airpower, apple maps launch, batterygate were all successes. because we still talk about them

 

[DeepWebinar]

I picture Tim Cook writing checks to all Vision Pro owners like Steve Martin at the end of "The Jerk." 😂

someone in this thread posted an etsy link to an accessory that makes it so the goggles don’t give you black eyes i guess and it was just an optigrab for your forehead

Absolutely no problems at all. I find the VisionPro very comfortable on my face using the standard strap

”Very comfortable”? Riight… (It actually felt ”very comfortable” dropping a brick on my bare foot.)
