Apple Customers Have Started Returning Their Vision Pros
Apple Customers Have Started , Returning Their Vision Pros.
The past few days have seen Apple
fans take advantage of the tech company's
14-day return policy when it comes to their
$3,500 Vision Pros, The Verge reports.
.
One of the most-cited reasons for
returning the product is comfort.
Headaches and motion sickness are
common complaints, The Verge reports.
Vision Pro's weight and front-loaded positioning are also reportedly cumbersome.
.
Parker Ortolani, product manager for
The Verge, said he thinks the device caused
a blood vessel in his eye to burst.
.
Despite being as magical to use as I’d hoped,
it was simply way too uncomfortable to wear
even for short periods of time both due to
the weight and the strap designs.
I wanted
to use it, but dreaded putting it on, Parker Ortolani, product manager
for The Verge, via Instagram Threads.
It’s just too expensive and unwieldy
to even try to get used to the constant
headaches and eye strain I was
experiencing.
I’ll be back
for the next one, Parker Ortolani, product manager
for The Verge, via Instagram Threads.
Another complaint among consumers
is that the Vision Pro's productivity capabilities aren't relative to the price.
It’s difficult to multitask between
‘windows.’ Several file types simply
aren’t supported on the Vision Pro.

I also can’t see how creating a slide
in the VP would be less energy
than doing so w/ mouse and
keyboard — even if does feel
like you’re in 'Minority Report.', Carter Gibson, a senior manager working on community management and moderation at Google, to The Verge
