A growing number of early Apple Vision Pro purchasers are expressing dissatisfaction and considering returning the $3,500 headset. For many, the primary concern revolves around comfort. Some have reported experiencing headaches, motion sickness, and discomfort due to the weight and design of the device. One user even claimed that using the headset caused a burst blood vessel in their eye. Parker Ortolani, Product Manager at The Verge, expressed similar discomfort, stating that despite the device’s magical qualities, it was too uncomfortable to wear for extended periods, making him reluctant to use it.
Others have raised concerns about the lack of compelling productivity features, especially given the high price point. Users have noted that certain file types aren’t fully supported, making it difficult to use the Vision Pro for work-related tasks. Multitasking is also challenging due to software limitations, making it harder for users to justify the device’s expense for productivity purposes.
It’s important to note that while these issues are being discussed on social media, the actual return rate for the Vision Pro is unclear. It’s uncertain how this vocal subset of early adopters will impact the future of the Vision Pro. Some have indicated that they would be open to trying a second-generation model, while others believe that fundamental issues lie in the device’s comfort and the lack of a compelling use case. It remains to be seen whether Apple will address these concerns in future iterations of the Vision Pro or through software updates. Early adopters’ feedback can play a crucial role in shaping the direction of a product, so their experiences and opinions may have an impact on the device’s future development.
