Good luck not getting laughed at wearing a welding mask on the plane with a picture of your eyes on the front
Honestly who cares? I’ve worn my on long haul flights. I couldn’t care less what people think while they watch movies on their ****** airplane microsceen.

But the reality is most people are interested and ask what it’s like.

The dozens of people who bought it must be devastated.

Also: another Exhibit item for not buying any Gen 1 Apple product
 
The outrage here amuses me. Who buys Apple products with an expectation of a significant buy-back on upgrade? Do they expect a nice return for other products in their life? From Denon or Onkyo or Sony? The MacRumors audience is so desperate for things to complain about.
I don't see any outrage so far but a lot of laughing as in "haha this is not a joke, right?"
 
Turns out it's $0.00 value.
Good one!
However, it may benefit Apple to offer some trade-in value for upgraders, even if it has little real value and cannot be resold for much. It would essentially be a loyalty discount for upgraders. Apple would not be doing this out of kindness, but because it is better to sell another vision pro to an upgrader for a reduced price, than not sell it at all.
I bet this goes on with iPhone trade-in values already, which often seem overly generous to me. It encourages people to upgrade more often.

Just for upgraders to another AVP or for anyone who owns one and just wants to trade it in and get out?
 
Reddit users claim the Trade-In program is coming (per chats with Apple reps).

Good to see, assuming it's true.
I'm wondering whether Apple will resell these refurbished ones for a very steep discount (like 50% off) to attract new customers to the platform or if they'll do their usual 10-20% discount over new.
 
They may as well charge $5k for the thing.
They functionally do. By the time I put 1 TB storage in my OG AVP, got Zeiss prescription lenses, a second battery, case, and third party over-the-head strap (Belkin), I ended up forking over nearly $5K for it.

I love it, but there is no way I'll be spending the $$$ to get a faster one, even if there WERE a trade-in path. No trade-in makes assurance doubly sure. No way, Jose.
 
"Not Available for Trade-In"

Tell us it's not worth very much without telling us.... I want Apple to keep innovating because I think Apple Vision has the potential to be something awesome, but this decision is not filling me with confidence.
 
Good to know about this. Don’t know how many will be trading in or upgrading their Vision Pro. Don’t see any reason to do so.
