Apple Vision Pro will be available beginning Friday, February 2, at all U.S. Apple Store locations and the U.S. Apple Store online.

I honestly doubt this will take off, but it’ll be interesting as a tech demo for what AR/VR can be at the highest end.

    It’s a really interesting product but unless you’re a trust fund kid you basically can’t afford it.

    The apple strategy usually is to make a stupidly expensive product that everyone laughs at (remember the wheels for the tower computer), and then the actual product they expect people to buy.

    They seem to have forgotten the second bit, but I’m wondering if something’s going to come out in 6 months called just the Apple Vision

      I have the equivalent of a trust fund and I’m not stupid enough to buy this for $3.5K.

      Go get yourself a BigScreen VR for $1K, and then a fuckin’ full top of the line prebuilt with the remaining $2.5K.

        You can get VR working for a lot less than 2.5k which is my point really. Sure you can spend that much money if you want, but there’s no requirement to.

      Isn’t this like 2.5k? There’s plenty of adults who can afford this without a “trust fund”

      You’re making it sound like it’s 25k
