Owners of Apple's Vision Pro headset are reporting an issue with cracks appearing on the front glass, despite not knowing how it happened. Several Redditors and Engadget's review unit have shared pictures of vertical hairline cracks in the same area above the nose bridge. Speculation suggests it could be a heating issue when charging or a manufacturing problem. It's uncertain if this is merely a cosmetic issue and repairs are expensive, with a $299 deductible or $799 without Apple Care. It remains unclear how widespread this issue is.

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 is reportedly planning to change the design of its iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, shifting from titanium or stainless steel frames to aluminium. This would mark a departure from the current titanium frames used in the iPhone 15 Pro range and upcoming iPhone 16 Pro lineup. The change would mean that all four iPhone 17 models could feature aluminium builds, bridging the gap between Pro and non-Pro variants. The new models are also expected to have a rear panel made of a mix of aluminium and glass, with a larger camera bump and wireless charging functionality.

Meta Platforms and Apple are embroiled in a dispute over their respective virtual reality headsets, the Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, defended the Quest 3 on Threads, claiming it offers better value and is superior to the Vision Pro. He highlighted the Quest's weight, motion blur, and precision inputs as key differentiators. Zuckerberg also praised the Quest 3's wireless design and wider field of view, arguing that Apple's Vision Pro sacrifices comfort and mobility for its high-resolution display. Consumers must weigh the trade-offs between the two competing products.

Only 150+ apps have been designed specifically for Apple’s Vision Pro, so far

According to market intelligence firm Appfigures, Apple's new mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, has only seen a modest response from app developers. The Vision Pro's App Store currently has just over 150 apps that have been updated specifically for the device, out of the App Store's 1.8 million total apps. There are various reasons contributing to this, including limited availability of Vision Pro headsets for testing, a small market opportunity due to the high price point, and challenges in adapting apps for the new computing environment. Additionally, the fallout from the Epic Games antitrust lawsuit may have also negatively impacted developer sentiment towards Apple. Despite this, Vision Pro users still have access to popular apps like Disney+, ESPN, and Amazon Prime Video, among others.
