Honeymoon's Over for Apple's $3500 VR System

It’s no coincidence that there’s been an uptick on social media of Vision Pro owners saying they’re returning their $3,500 headsets in the past few days. Apple allows you to return any product within 14 days of purchase — and for the first wave of Vision Pro buyers, we’re right about at that point.

Comfort is among the most cited reasons for returns. People have said the headset gives them headaches and triggers motion sickness. The weight of the device, and the fact that most of it is front-loaded, has been another complaint. Parker Ortolani, The Verge’s product manager, told me that he thought using the device led to a burst blood vessel in his eye. At least one other person noted they had a similar experience with redness.  ...

But the hardware isn’t the only issue.

Apple may have rushed this to the market too soon. A platform isn't enough; people have to do something with it, and apparently there's not enough content yet. And it would take an extraordinary amount of content to make this worth the $3500 price tag.
