Apple Vision Pro Real World Review: I’m KEEPING It!
Apple Vision Pro has been out for two weeks and the return window is closing. We have seen people express online how they plan to return their headset but in this video, I am going to go over why I am NOT returning the Apple Vision Pro.

I think the main reason most KZheadrs (who most everyone is referring to when they say “everyone is returning it!”) are returning them is because they never had any intention of keeping them in the first place. They did it for the views, got the views, and now they need to return it before the 14 days are up.
That’s their right but it seems strange for them not to keep it for more long term coverage.
@@macrumors For sure! I just don’t think a majority of them had any intention of going long term at all. Specifically I’m looking at those TikTok/Shorts “famous” people who are really just looking for clout and/or quick and lucrative clicks.
This is the 4th video of “I am keeping it” I saw today. None of the KZheadrs who said they are going to return it actually return it which means they are all saying it just for view.
@@rangerkayla8824I have tried the Vision Pro at a demo and regarding the weight, I have no issues even with just the solo band. However, I understand that everyone's experience is unique. My guess is that I am accustomed to it because I use a CPAP face mask to help me sleep.
😂 at people assuming. Try doing more research before posting nonsense.
People forgot how it was with apple 1st gen iPhone. There were very few apps and aside from answering calls, everything else was in "trial" mode. It's the same here, AVP is just the beginning and returning it takes the ability of exploring new features, I am a strong believer this product will only get better.
Returned. Only caused headaches. and eye fatigue.
I just bought the AVP today. It’s charging now.
Don't forget to return it before the 14 days are up.
NIce, enjoy. I'm in Aus so we can't buy it yet. I'm super jealous.
@@dtz1000I didn’t forget. I returned it. $4811 for the terabyte model.
Thanks for your review, Spot On!
I similarly get 60 minutes of comfort with the default band. With dual loop band I get up to eight hours comfortably. I would recommend to go and check if they can change your light shield and make sure that the dual loop band is right sized for your head
I'm still undecided about which band I prefer the most.. When I'm using the Double-Loop I wish I was using the Default band, and reverse. I have used it for about 4 hours with the default band. if I make it too tight my scalp would get numb, so I have to watch out for that.
I really wish they used the headband they showed in the original marketing, which combined the Solo Knit in the back with the Dual Loop strap on top. I feel like that would’ve been the best of both worlds.
I tried that at WWDC and it was the best option. I wonder why Apple didn’t continue with that.
I gave the default band another try after using dual loop since the launch. Now it felt comfortable and have been fine for many hours. Apparently I have developed some AVP muscle with daily use...
On the dual loop band, my initial use of it was terrible and I went with the single loop. After a few days I decided to try it again and found out one thing. The best way to fit it properly is to see where the pressure is. If it’s too heavy on the forehead, loosen the top strap and let the Vision Pro drop a little. If the pressure is mostly on the cheeks, loosen the back band to let it equalize. You may have to compensate with tightening the top band. Once you’ve got it somewhat balanced, then mildly tighten both to secure. Once I figured out that trick, I can get the dual loop to be rather comfortable. I can easily wear the headset four to six hour with either band.
The actual best way is to look to third parties. BoBo VR, for example, has been making head straps for the Quest for years; they're amazing. Some have made a 3D-printed part that lets you use a BoBo head strap with the Vision Pro. Looking on Reddit shows people talking about it. It sounds much more comfortable and fixes the problem of pressure on your nose, cheeks, etc.
@@James-lw3gi It’d be nice. I saw a 3D printed adapter that allows you to use two solo loop bands. But for me, I don’t have a 3D printer, so those options are out. I’ve yet to see any third party band yet. Maybe soon, but for now, Apple’s are the only way to go.
My guess is the cameras are too close together on the iPhone. While the ones on the Vision Pro are much further apart which allows for greater depth perception.
That´s exactly what i was going to say. So this problem will not be solved with iPhone 16 Pro unless a drastic redesign of the camera that seems not probable
To be honest depth cameras on phones are completely pointless and is more of gimmick to make the high priced phone seems a bit like an okay buy. Depth sensor cameras maked million times more sense when it's included in VR/AR devices due to the idea of it alone
@@toututu2993Aren't the depth sensors there to help the camera auto focus in low light?
unfortunately I just upgraded to the 15 pro to record spatial videos but the overal photo quality is complete garbage...I take pictures of blown glass every day and the 15 pro is noticeably bad at every attempt..overly sharpens and contrasts image. Even using aftermarket apps cant help this horrible camera.. im really bummed I upgraded. I just bought a used iphone 13 mini to use for pictures since my wifes 13 does a great job at pics of my glass
2 weeks later and the amount of apps doubled. Apple Vision Pro will be very popular in the next generations as it will get lighter and cheaper. Here’s something people don’t seem to know about Apple: when they release a new category, they usually already have at least 50% of the new version ready, including ideas for software. I worked at Apple and they control the release of features and they have a crazy lineup control based on data research and it’s scarily accurate. 😊
Great video Dan. Been watching for a long time and you've really gotten so comfortable with your presentation skills. Keep on keepin' on!
I bought my AVP because my wife & I dabble in 3D and 360-degree travel photography, and hoped to use it as a display device. Alas, while it’s easy to display spatial videos shot on an iPhone or the AVP itself, those recordings are subpar quality compared to the dedicated photo gear we use, such as a Canon R5 with the dual fisheye lens and an Insta360 X3. But it’s a HUGE project to massage those recordings into a format the AVP can use, and even then it requires a very buggy third-party player. Still, this is “only” a software problem, so I’ve decided to keep the AVP and hope it gets fixed. The lack of multiple user accounts is also an EXTREMELY annoying issue, but not one that I expect Apple to ever fix-because, Apple.
I am so glad I found your video because it is such a great evaluation of Vision Pro. I was ready to return the AVR because at 87 I certainly find it too heavy. Your video is so positive that it will only get better I feel I just have to stay the course to find out. The cost for me is not prohibitive and I am taking the view that it is less than the cost of a one week trip on a cruise, where I would eat too much and see places that I have been to before. I am hoping that somewhere I will find an immersive video of Japan as that is one of the few places on my bucket list I have not been to. Put in that context I expect to be blown away by upcoming content and I do not think I will be disappointed, So, thank you for your positive attitude and thank you for encouraging me to stay the course. The main thing I am hoping for is a way to use it without the weight causing some discomfort. Did you see the video where someone had modified a military helmet so that the whole headset swivelled down over the eyes without putting any pressure on the face. Now that was perfect and I am hoping some after market genius can come up with something like that.
You’re 87?? That’s awesome. Glad you’re deciding to stick it out! Yes I did see that cool helmet mod. Would definitely love something like that to help with comfort!
I see the patterns here. All KZheadrs… Week1: amazing! Week2: but i am returning it Week3: i changed my mind. I am keeping it. Seriously this is the 4th video i saw today - same same - “i am keeping it”
Well today is the return period end so it’s now or never.
My biggest con is the significant reflection/glare that I see when watching media in cinema / dark immersive environments. I don’t see any creators mentioning it but I’ve switched light seals and tried another demo unit at an Apple Store and I still see it. I wish someone had some feedback / tips for this. The workaround for me has been using lighter immersive environments but I want to use cinema and the theatre Disney plus environments.
Im def keeping my avp, everything you said I agree with.. was super disappointed at the iPhone 15pro max spacial video, I could have not upgraded,, maybe an update can fix some of the issues. as far as the strap, single loop for me.. Ive also learned you can position the avp for more comfort then tighten the strap. I do look forward to some 3rd party companies that might be able to design a better alternative,, maybe a thinner light seal, to move it closer to your face, and perhaps a more ridged single band like the quest 3,,, all in all, im super happy. Im revamping my work flow a bit. old work flow, iMac /iPad Pro ,,,,, now I think an m2 MacBook Air and avp is the new winner to declutter the desk and make use of this amazing device
your channel is called MACrumors, of course you're gonna keep it
I use the solo knit band. Yesterday I worked three hours straight and was still comfortable but wanted to give my eyes a forced 5 min break. Went back in for another 3 hours and was fine. Depends on the person I suppose.
Are you a taller person? Have a bigger head? My wild hypothesis is that if you are bigger in general you may be more tolerant to the weight because bigger head could mean better weight distribution.
@@koomei2 I'd have to agree with that hypothesis. I have a smaller head and was configured for either small/medium vision pro bands + light seal. When I went to demo it at the apple store, I found it very uncomfortable/heavy on the solo knit band, and was left with red indents on my face (particularly my forehead) after just the 30min of demo time.
Basically my thoughts as well, and why I'm keeping mine even with its current flaws and limited utility. Media consumption is a system seller. It's the best home theatre, and a I already have a pretty good projector home theatre system. But now I get to have a home theatre in my bedroom that I can lie down to watch movies. And that experience is so good. I don't think it will work for me as a laptop workstation, since I tend to have a lot of code on screen at a time and the display resolution itself isn't sharp enough for me to use that way. It also needs its own IDE & development environment, and I don't think Apple will allow that, given that they don't have a version of Xcode yet on iPad.
You can watch movies the same way on a Quest 3 and the experience is very good. Vision Pro is even better but not $3000 better.
@@dtz1000 The Quest 3 and the AVP are for two different audiences. If you're broke, the Quest 3 is for you. If you have money and appreciate great quality, welcome to the Apple Vision Pro.
I think most of the people returning it were looky-loos anyway and were never planning on keeping it at all. People wanted to see how cool it was with all the hype. Then they took advantage of Apple’s loose 14-day return for any reason policy. I’m betting 80% of KZhead reviewers were never planning on keeping theirs either and are returning them today. I always intended on keeping mine and I am. Yes, there are a ton of 1’st gen issues, but it’s an awesome device overall.
Agreed
I returned mine as the strap size was poorly fitted at the Apple Store. After another round of sizing, I purchased hopefully the correct size. I’m keeping it for mainly travel and agree 100% that this is going to be a software driven device for the next few years.
"Knowing it's going to get better" is a great reason to wait for a future release from Apple. But it's gonna pay for itself because you have an Apple channel. Of course you're keeping it.
What I want to know is can we use the persona scanning to scan an environment too? That would be dope. To scan an environment and being realistic and walk around with the Vision Pro
I am for sure keeping it... I am extremely aware it is a first Gen product, but I just wanted it and am gonna stick it out. ... Also it did help that I got a good discount (I work for Apple).
The comments about Eyesight and how people come into your frame, etc - Mine works really well. As someone comes into view, when I look at them, my eyes appear. I also went into the settings to ensure that everything was turned on under People Awareness. Love the video - keep them coming!!
Yep. Did the same thing. Still nothing. Could be a beta bug though
I only ever use the single loop band and can wear the headset comfortably for 3+ hours without issue.
Great video! Hopefully the fit got better, one hour to 90 minutes is definitely a very short amount of time to wear it. I think you should give the dual loop another chance, I initially could only wear it may be an hour with a solo loop, and had all the same issues you talked about. I gave the dual loop a chance and it’s way more comfortable. I can now wear it easily 2 to 3 hours with no issues, and no marks on my face. I think you definitely need to make some adjustments and like you said, get a new light seal. Hope it works out!
For the person sensing feature to work you need to turn on in settings. Is not turned on by default. It does work.
It’s on 🤷♂️
Weird. I’ll test it and record it and send it to you. On mine it works so well that sometimes my own reflection on the Mac screen triggers the person awareness feature.
Love your videos Dan, but one thing that concerns me with all these KZhead videos in the lack of content around eye safety and just how your eye's respond once the headset is taken off after a while in the headset and you return to the real world, and if over time all will suffer the same problem that optometrist are concerned about - and that is the number of people that they see with regards to shortsightness in regards to phones, iPad etc. ( I include myself in this, by the way). Remember this is not a TV in which you sit a recommended distance from in relation to the size of the TV, you literally have 2 4k screens sitting inches away from each eyeball, that can't be good in the long run, anyway sounds like a revolutionary product and I'm glad you like it, though I have to say not for me, not because of what I have mentioned above, but I just would not have the workflow to justify the expense (I am from Australia, and the Vision Pro will retail around $5,300 Dollars by the time it is released in Australia, when that is is anyone's guess.) I Don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but I just wish KZheadrs when reviewing gadget like this inform people of the Health risk associated with these product. Anyway Dan, good review as always, keep up to good work, and this is just my opinion anyway. God Bless David
Agree 1000% w/ keepig it, love mine! Subscribers should know fit is based on your head size, my light seal is great and the duel loop is super comfortable minus messing my hair, single loop is hit & miss how long I can tolerate it. I let my family use it and guest mode isn’t even needed, I don’t care what apps they access. Sports, movies, concerts are all incredible. There is plenty to do and so much more even before future updates.
7:37 can you make the keyboard smaller? Like the size of an iPad mini keyboard? I am curious to know if a person would be any better at “typing” with the thumbs rather than with the the index finger since there is already muscle memory from the phone. Or would it even read your thumbs when typing?
No the keyboard cannot be resized. I’d have to do some testing to confirm but I believe it only tracks one finger per hand so you’re kind of hunting and pecking. I’ve gotten somewhat accustomed to it and it’s fine for short search entries, text messages, passwords, etc. especially when you utilize autocomplete. For longer writing, I switch to dictation or a Bluetooth keyboard. I’d love to see investment in this in future visionOSs, eg swype, multi finger tracking, & pinning to a surface.
@@acslater017interesting. Thanks for the insight
I am curious as a person who is nearsighted if one could send their prescription to zeiss to make sure they can meet mine before I ever commit? No Apple Store within two hours so have to order online should I desire one and then find out if prescription is possible?
As long as you don’t have a PRISM setting in your prescription, Zeiss should be able to make your prescription. Go ahead and go through the steps for ordering the Zeiss lenses and it’ll walk you through step by step. If at the end they can’t make them, there will be a dialog that tells you that. You still have to complete the purchase manually, so it won’t accidentally order it until you’re ready. I have Zeiss lenses and both eyes have a bit of astigmatism and are not equally bad. The lenses work fine on my Vision Pro. When you get a Vision Pro and lenses, you’ll have to scan a circular “barcode” on the packaging to sync up your lenses with the headset, so the headset will know how to adjust for them. In the Settings app, you’ll then see your prescription there with a no prescription setting with your prescription having a check mark next to it, meaning you can technically toggle between them, useful if you’re sharing your headset with someone else.
@@techinrl9869 thanks that is helpful.
Great video as always. Vision Pro reminds me so much of the AirPods Max in so many ways. It’s is way more expensive, heavier and buggier than others like the Sony M5 or Bose but the quality of sound, nose reduction and transparent mode, build quality and ecosystem integration are amazing. Not to mention the design feels like it came from the same design group at Apple.
Love your videos!
I am still on the fence about keeping mine. Have a few days to decide. Like you, I LOVE the movie watching experience, but the lens glare bothers me every time. Do you get it?
I have to watch in a lighter environment for the glare to go away. I seriously considered taking it back for that reason (it was making my eyes water) but now I've gotten used to. I hope you find a solution that works for you!
I don't notice any glare when using my Quest 3 for watching movies.
@@dtz1000 that's awesome 👍🏽
Regarding the spatial video feature on the iPhone, I hope that Apple will place the two cameras further apart to create a more pronounced stereoscopic effect. Additionally, it would be great if Apple could update the iPad mini to include duo stereoscopic cameras of equal focus length, as well as the ability to view and edit 3D photos and videos directly on the device. This would allow for previewing and making minute adjustments before uploading to the Vision Pro for an immersive viewing experience.
There are some people buying an other default band and with some 3D printing attach it on top of the head and it seems weird but apparently super confortable with the two available tight setting
Are any of the tech folks returning this product. It is your job thanks for acknowledging it and great video.
There are some yes. Which is surprising
I'm keeping mine.
Yes, agree "the thing will get better" but its $4k, why not wait until it gets better than buy, most cant take the risk of hoping it gets good enough to make the $4k worth it
It’s Apple. It will get good.
I love mine and feel fortunate to have it. There’s a lot to learn with this device and I have a long way to go to understand everything. One thing someone may have touched on is that you should power down VP before removing it after a session. You can do that several ways, one of which is by going into settings, scroll down to the bottom of the General settings and choose “Shut Down”. A slider will appear to power off- or, you can just say Hey Siri, Shut down Vision Pro and it will turn off. This should solve the battery problem. Also, in viewing your 3D videos that you’ve shot, they can be resized to larger.
Keeping mine. I love it
I used to think the Guest Mode was a downside too, but more and more as of late I’m starting to think it’s pretty fine because: right now there are so many people interested because it’s new, but over time it will become less of cumbersome task. I still think it would be cool to save guest profiles, but then I suppose it’s a privacy issue saving biometric data on-device. One thing, though, is being able to start a screen capture prior to handing off AVP to guest and it keep recording. Right now, recording stops when you take headset off.
I really want to keep mine but I really can’t wear it for more then a hour. Face hurt so bad I hand to take it off in the middle of watching Avengers in 3D.
I’ll try it in store, say it’s cool and then wait a couple gens for improvements and price decrease :)
Totally fair.
Or just buy a Quest 3.
I'm looking at replacing the ipad which is mainly for content consumption. What would be super cool is if you could use it as a Mac mini screen, so you can use it like a macbook when away from home.
6:20 have some simple mod of the single band, with extra strap or something, I. An wear this for 3 hours
I understand why some people might return it. It's really expensive for a beta product. It doesn't make sense to pay so much just to test Apple's latest product. It's just too much. I really want one, but I'm not ready to spend that much just to be among the first to have it.
You need to find a way to get the 3D printed adapter do you can use a 2nd wide band on top of your head then do a review on it 😃👍
I'm interested in seeing how much the refurbished models will cost. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who returned it but really liked it would buy it again for the lower price.
Keeping mine too
I’m keeping mine too
I really doubt many people are actually returning it. Right?
I kept mine because 1, content creation, 2, it’s got a lot of games that are extremely fun and creative (no more terrible ad-ridden candy crush clones), 3, movies are epic, 4, everything else
A Apple person keeping an Apple product, no surprise there! 🙂
As someone who did development work with the oculus devkit 2… and as someone who has been using the HTC Vive for years.. I just don’t get it.
100% agree on all points. Love mine and will keep it but beyond movies, it’s useless and not as good as it could be (pass through, personas, App Store, all of it). Looking forward to what it becomes over time.
You can keep your hands down on a table and do gestures as well you don’t have to keep them up all the time
I am very well aware. I just can’t seem to train myself to remember.
I agree with EVERYTHING you said 100%. Truth truth truth. But it does have soooo much potential and I can’t wait for more apps and immersive experiences. Also new immersive episodes and shows on Apple TV.
Impatient to get it in France !!!
Yeah for me when I am immersed and I look at someone, I see them, but my eyes are very dim (not on a BETA).
I‘m not getting it!? 😉 The Vision Pro is an overengineerd product for me. It is for sure interresting. But as you said it still has so much flaws. Maybe all the intigrated tech justifies the price. But for a third of the price beeing an external Display for my other Apple devices, I think I have bought one. I dont want to complain. This is a product, that just is not ment for me. So one last thought. Why if there is that nasty external battery dangeling on that cable, dident they include all the computing stuff in that external case to make the headset smaller and lighter. I‘m not getting it…
There is nothing about it that would want me to keep it for 3500.. Not even for 1000. For content and gaming the Quest 3 is much much better than the AVP. Hell even for work the Quest 3 is ok. Sure the AVP has higher res screen and better passthrough (though still not great) but again not for 3500…. Only rich fan boys will keep the AVP. In my opinion AVP is absolutely a failure…
Full coverage noise cancelling headphones work better with dual head band.
We also need saved window/ app presets for each room that you configure. Come on Apple.
yeah it could be neat on a plane if it's smooth some people had problems
An Apple-oriented channel keeping one of Apple's biggest new products? I didn't see this coming. 😮
Seriously. Of course he’s keeping it like you made a living being a fanboy
This may have already been commented, but if you listen to Gruber's latest episode of The Talk Show with Adam Lisagor, they mention that the light leak around the nose is actually an intentional design choice which helps with preventing nausea.
Agreed 100%
Let me know if you need a 3D printed adapter so you can rock 2 knit bands. So much more comfortable
Given the price point and infancy of this product, I'll wait till Gen 3 at least before purchasing. I recently tried a friend's Meta Quest 2 and would not buy that ever. It's heavy and uncomfortable.
Meta quest 3 is nice but neither hold any weight in comparison to Apple Vision Pro
@@macrumors Depends what you want to do with it. Can you use Google Earth VR on Vision Pro? No, and that app is incredible on any headset but not on Vision Pro.
This video is spot on. Every point matches my experience even the selection of the band. I assumed that the dual loop would be better but the pressure on my face was uneven and there was light bleed all around. Switching to the solo band gave me a perfect fit and was more comfortable with even pressure. Plus, with the dial you can fine adjust and it looks so nice.
This review is better than most (gave it a thumbs up) but I feel strongly that people need to be warned that so much of what reviewers are saying is totally subjective. For example, the dual band headband flat out saved me. If I were stuck with the single band, I might have actually returned it to Apple. Both bands are very sensitive to adjustment (BOTH strap length(s) and headset position on your face taken together) and you really have to put in the time to find the right adjustments for you. After getting the dual band just right, I can wear mine forever. I don't feel any of the face pressure this reviewer describes and never feel the need to take it off even after hours and hours of wearing it. The time limit suggested in this video only applies to this specific reviewer. Totally agree about the APP store being horrible. What could Apple possibly be thinking ? They spend years and years and tons of money developing this and THAT's their app store for it ? In fact, in general, I wonder what the hell Apple has been doing over the last year since the announcement in MANY ways. I love the "person near you emerges into view from the background" feature this reviewer says literally doesn't work, and it ALWAYS works perfectly for me (is his defective ?). Also, I think the "Eyesight" feature needs to be improved just as is said here, but I think it's a totally great idea and I hope Apple doesn't take reviewer's "just get rid of it" comments seriously. Those people should just turn it off in settings if they don't like it and not presume to speak for everyone. When I first put mine on after setting up "Persona", my girlfriend came up to me and said, "Oh, I can see your eyes ! That's so cool !". Totally agree that "Guest Mode" sucks. Again, what is Apple thinking ? Don't they want to entice new users to want one for themselves ? As it is, it's such a PITA potential buyers are just going to get a bad impression of the whole thing. I totally disagree with the comment that the videos shot on the phone are SO much worse than those taken from AVP itself. They ARE not as good but the difference is nowhere NEAR as extreme as this reviewer states. I'm not picking on MacRumors - I notice these kinds of things and more with most of the reviews I've watched, both positive and negative. The bottom line is, don't trust anybody's opinions especially with this thing, you've GOT to try it for yourself.
We’ll soon know the long term effects on people eyes with a screen that close
If Version 2 fixes my complaints, I'll keep it!
Shared experiences! That will make em buy two but until I can watch movies together with my spouse it does not make sense. (Meta Quest has endless shared experiences, we can watch movies, KZhead and even do puzzles together) Come one Apple! We want it but it just needs shared experiences to seal the deal!
Have you heard any rumors about running multiple screens from one’s MacBook? I think this is essential for real productivity.
I personally hated cinema mode because it makes the screen smaller. I always have the screen way bigger when watching shows and movies and everytime I tried cinema mode my screen shrunk way down :(
You can change your seat location and that will change the screen size
“It hurts after awhile which is good” is an insane take
Great video. I'm keeping mine also. I haven't even had time to properly spend time with it but I watch movies and shows in it every night. Like you, I see the potential and am excited by it.
Yep. Unless Apple neglects it entirely (they won’t) this is the worst it will ever be
Let’s also not forget there was a huge wave of people who returned their Quest 3 when it came out. HMD’s just aren’t for everyone, and that’s fine.
I know you review some Android devices, would you be willing to review the Meta Quest 3 and then do a comparison to them?
I doubt it. Their masters Apple would not be too happy about that.
Keeping for sure. Little forehead pressure. Comfort tips Vision gang?
Maybe they will do what they did with the iPhone 3G and make Vision Pro 2 cheaper.
aapl ❤
Third party straps are going to be so much better for the Vision Pro the Quest 2 and 3 third party straps are way better than Meta’s straps
i"m returning mine.
Did Apple gift you the device or did you genuinely pay for it? It’s not uncommon for businesses to send out promotional products to reviewers. The cost of the product is often cheaper than the sales generated by the reviewer and the trust the public puts in the reviewer is priceless.
Still not a fan of the Personas look from all the reviews ive seen but they werent good in the demo videos either. B/C work generally. eyesight must be drastically better or be removed. The headset needs to get lighter and include some minimal battery to allow for larger battery changes, as well as of course much better wifi/BT and maybe even 5g/5 advanced/6g someday. The app selection will get better soon hopefully.
Personas don't look that bad. A big improvement in 1.1 beta 2, but could be better. That's the primary feedback I got from family and friends.
The ones I saw that Meta are working on are ten times better.
“I’m keeping my Vision Pro, so here’s a 15 minute video of everything I hate about it”
I’m glad when you and Harley have your pictures there then I know that it’s your KZhead. I’ve subscribed to both your rumors channels, but all of a sudden I’m not getting any suggestions in my subs.

Had only done first channel. Thanks! You and Harley are my favorite influencers.
I would have returned it after 13 days and then bought a new, sealed one to sell for $100,000 in 20 years.
Good job, Bugman.
Thanks?
John Gruber actually found out that the light bleed near your nose is by design, apparently it helped reduce nausea and fogging in their testing. Apple store employees are trained that some light bleed near the nose is normal.
Yep. That’s what they told me yesterday. Ended up sticking with the light seal I have. It was the best option.
Agreed with the cinema mode. Excited for it to be available through other apps.
It’s just so good!
Those headbands are both inexcusable given how the halo headbands have already solved the comfort issue on so many other headsets. So is the lack of controllers for gaming.
You can't lie back in your bed with the halo headstrap on, but you're right about the controllers.
I have a lot of the same thoughts with mine. Fingers crossed for the KZhead app to play their VR and 3D content. Also let's hope VLC comes out with a player for 3D and VR videos! No way to play them right now.
Didn’t expect anything less, it’s your job you will continue to make videos reviews and money by keeping it, also little assumption but pretty sure your income is above the average American so you can afford to blow that amount of cash and still pay all your necessary bills for the month, not hating just keeping it real, Vision Pro is not worth $4000 cost of entry right now for over 95% of people, 👍👍 on your videos
There’s just nothing I’d use it for in the long term. I don’t want to watch movies on my own or work with a headset on my head all day.
Should have kept it in its box unwrapped and then wait for the value to shoot up in 10 years.
Im bot convinced by this vid to spend the money for a apple pro
