The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

    I would have said 2k€ would be a good price, but probably because its apple their 75% additional apple fee added it, for a non mobile vr/ar headset thats too heavy to stay on for longer than an hour.

      The thing you have to factor in is they can’t make very many of them due to technical limitations. I agree $2k would be a good price but if they will sell as many as they could possibly make at $3.5k they aren’t going to sell for less. Gotta recoup all that R&D cost somehow.

      I wouldn’t be surprised to see a better, more refined headset from Apple for under $2k in the next few years. I’m sure they know $3500 is out of reach for the vast majority of consumers.

        Thats the issue with apple, since they saw big success in that price range they will never go down. Did you ever saw a cheaper iphone than the last one? Not that i can remember, they just keep increasing even on older models sometimes
