The Apple Vision Pro AR/VR headset had a strong start with estimated sales of 160,000 to 180,000 units during its pre-order weekend, despite its hefty price tag of $3,500. However, concerns arise as shipping times remain at five to seven weeks after the initial surge in demand, indicating that future demand may not be as high. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that selling around 500,000 units is achievable, but notes that the sold-out status should not be mistaken for mainstream success due to the niche and expensive nature of the product.

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.

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.

Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that Apple's budget-friendly variant of the Apple Vision Pro, a wearable spatial computer, may have been canceled. Kuo's insights from component suppliers also indicate that initial shipments of Apple's mixed reality headset could be lower than expected, with estimated shipments ranging from 400,000 to 600,000 units. This change in strategy implies that Apple does not have immediate plans to introduce new spatial computers, whether budget-friendly or high-end, in the near future.
