Consensus seems to be that the product is relatively poor value for money, despite the clear case for it containing unparalleled technology and innovative manufacturing.
Apple maybe be trying to sell the idea that Vision is good value given how much high-tech is crammed into the device, but this is offset by the fact it doesn't do many things better than other devices we already own. And for areas where it is better, it's not a convenient device to wear for long periods and is very expensive for excelling in just a few areas.
This for me is the fatal flaw. I remember Steve Jobs introducing the iPad and saying that, for it to exist, it had to do some things far better than either an iPhone or a Mac. My take on Vision Pro is that for the few things it does do better, it's impossible to justify the price tag.
Can't say I'm surprised personally, but I do give Apple credit for taking the plunge and making the highest quality version of what is, in essence, a flawed concept. Until the day comes where it's priced more to the mainstream audience and is convenient enough to wear easily, it really is just a very expensive toy.
