Apple's AR/VR headset, Vision Pro, is the most enticing new product, attracting attention from both users and tech enthusiasts. However, like other tech products, this virtual reality headset has several aspects that users may not appreciate.

The $3,499 price tag of Apple's Vision Pro AR/VR headset is excessively high for the majority of users. With this amount, you could purchase 4 headsets and still have some change left.
Vision Pro's Steep Price TagAdmittedly, creating a technologically advanced product like this incurs substantial initial costs, requiring years of research and integration of high-end hardware. However, the high price immediately puts the product out of reach for most interested buyers. This means only those truly 'flush with cash' or die-hard Apple fans are willing to splurge on the Apple Vision Pro.
Low Battery Life
The Apple Vision Pro provides only two hours of usage when not plugged into a power source. That timeframe isn't even long enough to watch a full Disney+ series or sustain usage throughout a flight.
Vision Pro's Limited Battery LifeWhile we understand this is a first-generation product, and Apple will improve it over time, that's not what users want after shelling out a hefty $3,500. Additionally, they have to subscribe to additional monthly payment services to enjoy various Apple services.
Disrupted Photo and Video Capture
One of the features of the Apple Vision Pro is capturing spatial photos and videos. Similar to how you capture photos and record videos on an iPhone and later view them in the photo library, you can capture 3D photos and videos on Vision Pro and experience them in augmented reality.
Photo and Video Capture on Vision Pro Faces InterruptionsThis concept sounds intriguing until you experience it in reality. Imagine having a joyful time with family or friends and wanting to capture those beautiful moments. You take out this virtual reality headset and press a button on it to start recording what's happening.
Immediately, the product attracts the attention of everyone around, and the beautiful, natural moments vanish. If the Vision Pro had a design resembling regular sunglasses, the spatial photo and video capture would look much more natural.
Vision Pro Lacks Haptic Feedback
One of Vision Pro's most impressive features is its control through eyes, hands, and voice. However, this concept has a fatal flaw – it lacks any haptic feedback.
Vision Pro Lacks Haptic FeedbackThis means when you select an item or 'tap' on a button, or 'swipe' to navigate in augmented reality, there's no haptic feedback to immediately give you the sense that the action has been performed, and your input information has been registered by the device. Your only cue is the user interface.
You might think it's not that crucial, but when playing games or working in an augmented reality environment, reliable haptic feedback is much more valuable as it is more visual and can be recognized immediately.
