Apple Vision Pro launch pre-view testers complain about weight, comfort, even headaches::Reporters given pre-launch access to the new Apple Vision Pro have reported concerns with its weight and comfort, with at least two writers reporting notable discomfort using it. While there are undoubtedly positive experiences to be had with the product, it wasn’t just discomfort that was problematic.
The photo of the woman wearing VR goggles with a shit-eating grin on her face while supposedly having a conversation with somebody really speaks volumes about how Apple envisions us to interact with one another in 2024. Good grief, I abhor absolutely everything about this.
The goggles make her look stoned.
Wearing googles while having a convo is almost worse than being on the phone, its very antisocial.
I wonder what the “Glasshole” equivalent will be.
The headset may or may not be great for a virtual workspace or entertainment, but the social aspect of it feels weird to me. I’d rather take the headset off to interact with a person next to me.
Yeah perhaps I’m a boomer but that’s how I feel about ear buds too.
I’m gen X and I feel like it’s rude to talk to someone with earbuds in so I always take them out, I have noticed a lot of the younger generations don’t view it as rude.
oh look, its all the same problems they had before they gave it to testers.
We might as well just start calling them “features.” We all know Apple is about to.
they need a pharmaceutical arm to vertically integrate the solutions to these problems
Well duh, the testers weren’t gonna fix it for them. It’ll be the same product both before and after the testers use it.
usually you solve in beta before sending it to end users for testing
“They’re wearing it wrong.”

I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes
Honestly they look like that straight on.
“Apple vision pro launch pre-view testers complain about looking dumb as fuck.”
Not shocked about the headaches (happens with most of the headsets), but I’m a little sad about the weight issues. That sucks - I’m an Android user but I was hoping Apple doing this would lead to some Android development in the same space
I feel like there’s just so much crammed in this thing it’s going to be heavy right now, but if you look back, they used to be massive and heavy and have continued to get lighter and more compact. Give this a few generations, and I’m sure it’ll lighten up a bit and get thinner.
TLDR; never buy the first generation of anything.
Those must have been terrible if they forgot to complain about the price.

It’s not too heavy. That’s “premium feel and materials.”
