Full Story
Remember the Apple Vision Pro AR/VR headset? It’s been years in the making. After countless teasers, leaks, rumors, and official announcements, Apple’s finally ready to launch it.
The big reveal? It’s hitting the market on February 2. And if you’re really keen, you can even preorder it from January 19.
But there’s a catch – a big one. The price tag. This little piece of tech will set you back a cool $3,500. Not exactly chump change, right? Sure, there might be a few folks ready to part with that kind of cash. But for the average Joe, it’s a bit steep.
Then again, I could be off the mark here. Consider this: a 16-inch M3 Max MacBook also costs $3,500. And it’s not just the pros who are snapping it up. When Apple first introduced the Vision Pro, they pitched it as a productivity device, not just a fancy entertainment gadget.
This isn’t the first time we’re asking this question. We ran a similar poll a year ago, and the response wasn’t exactly enthusiastic. But hey, a year’s a long time. Maybe the tide has turned?
So, would you preorder or buy the Apple Vision Pro when it drops in less than a month? And what would you use it for? Just for kicks, like watching movies on a mega virtual screen, gaming, chatting, and video calls? Or would you try to get some work done, Minority Report-style, waving your hands in the air?
Go ahead, vote in our poll. And don’t be shy, share your thoughts about the Apple Vision Pro in the comments below.
