Apple's new Vision Pro mixed-reality headset has garnered attention as it goes on sale, with tech journalists and influencers sharing their experiences. The headset, similar to Meta's Quest, features pass-through video technology and 2D applications in a 3D environment. Notably, Apple has an external battery pack for the Vision Pro, which is tethered to the headset. Apple has downplayed the battery pack in promotional materials and prohibited journalists from capturing it in photos. Experts are divided on the impact of the external battery on usability, with some believing it won't be a hindrance for shorter VR experiences.

In a surprising move, Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple's newly launched Vision Pro headset, calling it overpriced and inferior to Meta's own product. However, history shows that underestimating Apple can be a mistake, as seen when Steve Ballmer laughed off the iPhone's success back in 2007. Zuckerberg claimed that Meta's $500 Quest headset is cheaper, has a brighter screen, and is more comfortable than Apple's offering. He emphasized the importance of an open model in computing and expressed his desire for it to prevail.

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.

Apple's new Vision Pro headset has impressed many, but there is still room for improvement, according to members of Apple's Vision Products Group. They believe that it could take four more generations before the device reaches its "ideal form". Reviews have criticized the weight, short battery life, and development of its operating system.
