Vision Pro Owners Face Weight of Buyer’s Remorse

Early adopters of Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro mixed-reality headset report widespread disappointment a year after its February 2024 launch, with many devices now unused due to physical discomfort and social awkwardness.

“It’s just collecting dust,” said Dustin Fox, a Virginia realtor who has used his headset only four times in the past year. “It’s way too heavy. I can’t wear it for more than 20 or 30 minutes without it hurting my neck.” Customers told the paper that the device’s one-pound weight causes neck strain. The device is also reeling from limited app selection and negative public reactions as primary complaints.
