'A $3500 Chastity Belt'

404 Media reports that when Apple unveiled its first virtual reality headset, the $3,500 Vision Pro, many joked it would be the ultimate device for VR porn. But just days after its release, Vision Pro owners are learning the hard way that current VR porn does not work properly on Apple’s flagship device.

On online forums like Reddit and Discord, Vision Pro buyers report being unable to view stereoscopic 180-degree VR porn videos in full immersion. The headset technically supports a web standard called WebXR that should allow it to play VR porn hosted on sites like Pornhub. But in practice, WebXR porn clips appear cropped, blurry, or flat in the Vision Pro rather than wrapping around the viewer in 3D. ...

Apple itself has taken a firm stance against porn, banning it from the App Store and making it harder to find on iOS. So the lack of plug-and-play VR porn support is unsurprising to some. “A $3,500 chastity belt,” scoffed one commenter.

If that's what users wanted, they had other and much cheaper VR systems from which to choose. Why would anyone spend $3500 just to access porn anyway? The games and the apps are supposed to be the draw. If this is the deal-breaker, that says a lot more about the users than Apple's new VR system -- which sounds ridiculously overpriced no matter what can be done with it.
