Why Some Buyers are Returning the Apple Vision Pro

 The Apple Vision Pro, a new mixed-reality headset, was released on February 2nd. People were excited to try it out at Apple Stores. They liked its advanced features at first. But after a couple of weeks, some buyers are not happy. They are returning the headset, which costs $3,500.


Buyers express disappointment with the $3,500 Vision Pro, citing discomfort, weight, and poor vision quality as major issues.

One big problem is its design. Farzad Mesbahi, a tech YouTuber, finds it hard to wear for a long time. It's not comfortable like using a phone or computer. Collin Michael, another Apple fan, also thinks it's too heavy. He says doing normal things like browsing the web takes more effort than it should.




Others on online forums have said it's not comfortable to wear either.
Another issue is the quality of the vision. Mesbahi says it's hard to see things clearly through the headset. Looking at a computer screen or reading small print isn't sharp enough. Collin Michael has trouble seeing the whole screen without moving his head a lot. He also finds it hard to see icons clearly when he connects his MacBook.



Some people don't think the headset offers enough new experiences for its high price. Kane Sutter, another YouTuber, says there isn't enough variety in what you can do with it. Some even bought it knowing they would return it, just to try it out.



Matt Schneider, a customer who enjoyed the gadget for social media video consumption, thinks it's too expensive for what it offers.
Apple hasn't said how many people have returned the Vision Pro. But despite these issues, Mesbahi, Michael, and Sutter still like Apple's innovative ideas. They might consider buying it again in the future if it gets cheaper and better. Michael said he would keep it if the price dropped to $2,000.

Apple In The Hotseat After Reviewer Confirms Its Vision Pro’s Eyesight Feature Doesn’t Work

  For months, we’ve seen tech giant Apple speak about how its Vision Pro entails features that set it far apart from all others in the industry. Now, a reviewer is casting serious doubt on the iPhone maker’s claims after adding that one of the key features of the new Vision Pro Eyesight does not work. And that’s shocking considering how much Apple has marketed the product as one of the best in the industry. When you consider a wide array of real-life examples, you’ll find how Apple has always spoken about this technology being one of the best out there. But in reality, one reviewer says that’s far from the truth. CEO Tim Cook took out the time to argue about how AR is far more superior and entertaining than the world of VR. The former was better as it did not isolate individuals from the community arising around it. Moreover, this is where the entire EyeSight product range came into existence from this notion as it ensured users were well aware and engaged in everything in their su...

It’s not too shocking as we’ve heard the OpenAI CEO mention time and time again how the world needs more AI chips now than ever. He feels they are designed to better enhance performance and assist in running AI mode...

  Google just unveiled  Gemini 1.5 , its latest rendition of the conversational AI system. The product is said to entail a greater array of advances in better efficiency, long-form reasoning, and enhanced performance. The latest system was detailed in a post by Google’s AI head that entailed a large figure of architecture enhancements, ensuring the core model can perform on the same level as the big Gemini 1.0 Ultra endeavor, without using extra computing resources.

With this new upgrade, the model will have a large number of data to process which can now be done quicker than before. This huge leap arose at a time when we saw the firm’s CEO analyze and classify as well as summarize a huge...
