Apple Vision Pro is set to arrive next year, with the latest reports indicating a March release date. The headset is the company’s first attempt at “spatial computing”, mixed reality experiences that include watching movies, playing games, and collaborating. It’s undoubtedly the most exciting product Apple has unveiled since the iPhone, but its mammoth price tag will likely be too much to stomach for all but the most dedicated early adopters.
Only a few folks have $3,500 lying around to spend on a virtual reality headset, myself included. I can’t deny that Apple Vision Pro is very impressive technology, and if I had the money I would buy one in a heartbeat. However, that’s simply not financially viable for me, especially when you consider the features and specs Meta’s Quest offers for a fraction of the price.
