Apple says using Vision Pro with some medical conditions may up 'risk of injury'

Apple has cautioned that using its mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, with certain medical conditions may increase the risk of injury or discomfort. The company advises consulting with a medical provider before using the device, especially for individuals at risk for falls or seizures, or those with serious medical conditions such as a heart condition. The support document also highlights other medical conditions such as migraines, vision conditions, psychological conditions, inner ear conditions, and seizures. Pregnant women are advised to exercise additional caution due to a higher risk of nausea or loss of balance.

Up to 30% of Apple Vision Pro Returns Are Because Users Don't Get It, Analyst Says

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a significant number of customers returning the Apple Vision Pro headset, which costs $3,500, do so because they struggle to set it up. Kuo's investigation found that around 20-30% of users return the product due to this issue. The returns rate of the headset was only 1%, but the lack of intuitive user interface and the need to press physical buttons or look up to access certain functions may be contributing to customer dissatisfaction. Kuo also noted that demand for the Vision Pro is slowing and expects it to remain a niche product for several years.

Apple Vision Pro’s Persona feature gets collaborative

Apple has introduced "spatial" Personas for its Vision Pro headsets, offering a new level of collaboration. Users can select the spatial persona option via FaceTime and SharePlay, placing the persona in the room with them using the headset's onboard sensors. The feature approximates the feeling of collaborating with others across a conference table, allowing work collaborations, movie-watching, and gaming. However, some find the effect both neat and creepy, as Vision Pro users navigate the uncanny valley. The feature supports up to five users simultaneously.

Apple halts Vision Pro 2 AR headset production: Here's why

Apple has reportedly decided to put the development of its high-end augmented reality headset, the Vision Pro 2, on hold in order to prioritize the creation of a more affordable version. The budget-friendly Vision headset is expected to launch in late 2025 with a target price of around $1,500. While the cheaper model may make some compromises in terms of design and features, Apple is careful not to sacrifice too much functionality. There is a possibility that work on the Vision Pro 2 could be resumed in the future. Apple has also announced the discontinuation of its Apple Pay Later service.

Some Apple Vision Pro users are returning the headset because they don't know how to set it up, analyst says

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, a significant percentage of Apple Vision Pro headset returns are due to users struggling to set up the mixed-reality device. The exact reasons for the difficulties are unclear, but the headset utilizes advanced technology and requires eye and hand tracking for navigation. Despite some initial challenges, Kuo estimates that the return rate for the Vision Pro is less than 1%. Other reasons for returns include concerns about the bulky design, underwhelming video quality, and the high price tag of $3,500. However, some devoted fans have embraced the headset, even going as far as wearing it to their wedding or while driving.

Tim Cook says Apple's earliest version of the Vision Pro was a 'monster' you couldn't even wear

Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the early version of the Apple Vision Pro, priced at $3,500, was described as a "monster" of an "apparatus" that was not wearable in any way. The initial design featured large fans on either side of the wearer's face, with wires stretching into another room to connect to a supercomputer. The current Vision Pro has a more streamlined design but still carries some weight, with a metal-and-glass build weighing between 21.2 and 22.9 ounces. The spatial computing headset officially launches in the US on Friday.

Apple's cheaper Vision Headset launching next year at $2xxx, reveals Mark Gurman

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a more affordable version of its Apple Vision headset as early as next year. Priced at around $2,000, the new headset will be significantly cheaper than the Apple Vision Pro, which was priced at $3,499. The decision to develop a cheaper headset is attributed to the limited appeal and accessibility of the Vision Pro, due to its high price. The more affordable model is expected to have downgraded components and may lack certain features, such as the EyeSight display. Apple is aiming for the cheaper headset to sell twice as well as the Vision Pro.
