Apple first announced its Vision Pro mixed reality headset at the 2023 WWDC, and the device went on sale in the US in February 2024. In that time I’ve read a lot about it, from professional reviews, like the one on our sister title Tom’s Guide, through to influencers wearing them on the underground. I’ve even known people who have bought them.
Until today, though, I’d never tried it for myself – I’d not even seen it in the flesh (or rather, aluminium and glass). I knew what it could do, from the hand tracking and pinching to control, to the life-altering effect of watching Avatar on it. As good as that sounded, I wasn’t desperate to try it.
