Most of these influencers had no intention to keep the vision pro. Now that original hype/views are over no way are they keeping a 4000 dollar device with very limited uses.

I am sure that you will end up buying it again…soon or later…when I had my first Mac, many years ago, I sold it as I was considering it too expensive, then I missed it so much that I had to rebuy it…it is a strange feeling that apple implemented in their devices…maybe its love?

So, I own a Vision Pro and I love it and I already am using it Productively.... That being said... I totally understand why he is returning it and it's an honest video. Not just a hater. I moved from Software Engineer to Management, and I use Vision Pro A lot. I never used my other VR devices enough....

But $4000 is a lot.

So, I also wear glasses. and I found that I could use the Vision Pro just fine without the Vision Inserts. And I also noticed my clicking on things were not as precise.
I decided to get the $150 insert just to get the clearest text I could get. Because My Mac seamed Blurry in Vision Pro.
When I installed my Vision Inserts it took me through a new Optical Alignment. And what I found was everything was very crisp now... but also the Clicking became more precise.

So, I think his clicking experience was because he didn't have the inserts.

People are so dead wrong about this device. The capability has not yet been realized. I’ve seen some shit .. upcoming… that looks like memories … achieved with Gaussian splatting, but video . Forget 360 vr or 180 vr.. we’re talking 6 degrees of freedom to walk around in.. I’ve seen my home environment being changed by ai in real time .. turned my home into a dungeon while keeping the layout the same .. etc on and on

When I went to the Apple Store, three people came in with their Vision Pro box looking to get a refund

[tomvr]

Nope.. Im keeping mine. But I’m sure some AR trend will make affordable if they announce a “Vision Pro Air” -> starting $999 with an M4 chip lower resolution with better FOV and an apple controller device (pencil) you can wave, click, point and connect to the new iPadOS, Phone remotely.

[antonio_carvalho]

More than anything, I'm amazed at your repacking abilities.

[garrettunhinged]

I love how honest this is. I totally get it ha. I'm gonna try to be patient with it and see where it goes.

[JimmyGeniusEllis]

imagine being the dude that returned a first gen AVP 10 years from now when they're worth 10x the price.

I made my YouTube hype videos to make my YouTube money and now its time to return this piece of sh’t. But let me make some additional money on a “why im returning it” video.

[bujin]

0:26. And to think, it's only going to get better, and probably pretty quickly.

[Msal]

I bought it right away when it was released in Canada. However, the screens appear hazy, hurt my face, dies quick, and eye precision can be super annoying. I am returning mine. I hope Apple releases a successor with better battery and design.

[mohamedalbaiti]

I don't understand, if 4000 dollars is too much for you to pay then why you bought it in the first place?

[jayholt]

About to be there soon. Returning next week 😢

[kermit]

Hot take, everyone feels the same way about their vision pro, but most are past their 14 day return period 🤣

[Vim_Tim]

Vision OS is based on iPadOS. That means it will NEVER be macOS unfortunately. I don’t think Apple wants to make this an all-in-one productivity machine.

[Kevdog]

I would like to try coding. But I don't know how hard it is. I did make my own website once with html but never tried building code for a app

[ChristopherCricketWallace]

can't run Xcode on it. Only one Macbook screen. That may be a deal breaker for me. No Alt+Tab
