Getting the VisionPro headset ready to launch is giving Apple a host of problems, from customer discomfort to slow international rollouts, a new report claims.
Apple’s Vision Pro headset is probably one of the most complex products the company has ever launched, but a new report has highlighted just how much Apple is struggling with the device. It suggests people are finding the headset uncomfortable and that it could take even longer to become widely available than we previously thought.
Related That’s far below the two hours Apple says the Vision Pro will last on a single battery charge. To combat the problem, Gurman says Apple is testing a second headband strap, although its design hasn’t yet been finalized. However, because staff will need to be trained on how to use the device and help customers with it, Apple “doesn’t anticipate partnering with third-party resellers to offer the Vision Pro until at least 2025.” That means if you’re hoping for a little retailer competition and subsequent discounts on the $3,500 starting price, you’ll have to wait.
