Make sure there is zero plagiarism.: Apple Vision Pro: Two-minute reviewApple has spent almost a decade developing the Vision Pro, and it shows. Everything about it is spectacular, from the exquisite design to brilliant visuals that blend the real with the fantastical, to the versatility that puts other mixed-reality headsets to shame.The fact that, even after all that work, there are still limitations is frustrating. Sure, I want a sub-1lb/500g headset that somehow integrates the battery; and, of course, I want it to cost $500. The state of the art, even Apple’s bleeding-edge form of it, isn’t there yet. None of that, however, makes me think less of the Vision Pro. It’s a stunning achievement in industrial design and technology that translates the inscrutable worlds of AR, VR, and mixed reality into an experience that pretty much anyone can understand and enjoy.Using your gaze and gestures (finger taps, long pinch, pull) to control a computer is the intuitive technology control you didn’t know you were missing – the millimeter precision is more like what you’d expect from a seasoned OS, not the brand new Vision Pro platform, visionOS, Apple introduced nine months ago. Apple got this right on the first try, and it could become as second-nature as tapping, pinching, and swiping on an iPhone or iPad is today.(Image credit: Future)As a new computing platform, the Vision Pro is rich with features and possibilities. The fact that it does so many things so well, and that they work and make sense, is a testament to Apple’s efforts. I’ve been marveling at the attention to detail, and at how a bleeding-edge, V1 product can feel so finished and complete. Apple has created a headset that I’m itching to wear almost every day, and if I did nothing but work in it the Vision Pro would transform my life. I’ve long dreamed of having a 150-inch or larger workspace, but I couldn’t imagine how it would be practical or, more importantly, viewable. With the Vision Pro, I get an almost unlimited desktop that makes me want to never return to the confined space of my laptop.Image 1 of 2Encounter dinosaurs remains one of the most eye-popping Vision Pro experiences… (Image credit: Future)…especially when this virtual butterfly lands on your finger(Image credit: Future)I’ve rarely tested a technology that has moved me in the way the Vision Pro does. Spatial videos are so achingly real that they instantly trigger an emotion that a flat image might not. Being up close with otherworldly or prehistoric creatures that seem to almost see me is at once jarring and thrilling. To pull this off, you need more than great apps, software, developers, and artists; you need a cohesive system that brings it all to life. The Vision Pro does it time and again, with 23 million pixels of imagery, spatial audio that travels the distance from band-bound speakers directly to your ears, and eye-tracking that knows your gaze better than you do.There are frustrations and missteps, too.Apple Vision Pro with the Solo Knit Band (Image credit: Future)I struggled to find the best fit, and while I can now wear the Vision Pro for hours, my face reminds me afterwards that it’s not built for this. I’ve struggled on occasion to find a fit that doesn’t cause me some niggling discomfort (although the more immersed I get, the less I feel anything).I don’t mind the external battery, but it feels not quite up to the task when you want to watch a 3D movie and power seems to drain at double speed. Thank goodness the battery can be plugged in for continued use.You won’t go anywhere without that battery pack (Image credit: Future)While I think the outside-in pass-through technology that marries the real and computer-generated worlds is among the best I’ve seen, Apple’s attempts to keep you connected to people in front of you and through, say, FaceTime calls, need work. Personas are just this side of creepy, and EyeSight, which shows a video of your eyes to those around you on the exterior screen, looks a bit scary. Then there’s the price, which is overwhelming, and will be an instant turnoff for many. I wonder, though, if they might feel differently after their first experience – I’d argue that they will decide they want a Vision Pro, and the only question will be how they can afford it.(Image credit: Future)Apple Vision Pro: Price and availability Expensive Price does not include lens inserts No yet available outside the US Apple announced its Vision Pro headset on June 5, 2023, at WWDC 2023. It’s available now in the US, and costs $3,499 for the 256GB model. Preorders opened on January 19, and the headset began shipping on February 2. Availability and pricing for other markets is yet to be confirmed, but Apple says that will follow in 2025.Value score: 4Apple Vision Pro: What’s in the boxHere’s what you’ll find when you unbox your Vision Pro (Image credit: Future)So what do you get for your $3,499 (Apple sent me the 1TB version, which starts at $3,899 – you can opt for a $3,699 512GB headset)? Essentially, in the box is everything you need to put on and start using the Vision Pro. In order of importance:There’s the Vision Pro systemA battery with attached cableUSB-C charge cable and 30W adapterThe Solo Knit BandA Dual Loop BandTwo Light Seals CushionsA fabric coverA polishing clothThe only thing that’s not included, and which you might need, as I did, are the Zeiss prescription lens inserts. These will run you $99 for reading-glass lenses, and $149 for full prescription lenses, which is what I need. The Vision Pro might be unusable for those with particular sight issues – Apple can let you know upfront if that’s likely to be the case.It all arrives in a large white box that has all the hallmarks of containing a high-end Apple product.Image 1 of 3The optional case costs $199 but I thick its worth it(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)You can buy an optional carrying case for $199, and, considering that you just dropped almost $3,500, I think it’s money well spent, although some might argue that Apple should include the case with the expensive headset. Apple sent me the case; it’s compact, and has storage space for everything I mentioned above, and I think the hard-shell, soft-surface body will do wonders to protect your expensive new toy.Apple Vision Pro: SpecsThe headgear is, in some ways typical goggle size: it’s roughly six inches wide by almost four inches deep from the edge of the Light Seal to the front of the glass, and almost four inches tall. Perhaps the most important spec of all, though, is the weight. Depending on which bands you use, the Vision Pro clocks in at 1.3 to 1.4lbs, or 600 to 650g. The external battery, which I kept either in my pocket, on the table, or on the couch next to me (later I got a nice $49.95 Belkin Case, so I could attach it to my belt), weighs just over three-quarters of a pound, or around 350g. Thank goodness Apple opted to not integrate the battery in its first mixed-reality headset.Swipe to scroll horizontallyHeader Cell – Column 0 Apple Vision ProMeta Quest 3Meta Quest ProDimensionsEst: 152 x 101 x 101mm / 6 x 4 x 4 inches 184 x 160 x 98mm / 7.2 x 6.3 x 3.9 inches 265 x 127 x 196mm / 10.4 x 5 x 7.7 inches WeightFrom 1.3lbs / 600g 1.14lbs / 515g1.6lbs / 722gDisplayDual mico-OLEDTwo LCD displaysTwo LCD displaysDisplay resolution4K per eye (23 million pixels)2064 x 2208 pixels per eye1920 x 1080 per eyeFOVEst 100-degree110-degree horizontal, 96-degree vertical120-degreeRefresh rate90Hz, 96Hz, 100Hz72Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz90HzChipsetApple silicon M2, R1Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+ RAM16GB8GB12GBStorage256GB, 512GB, 1TB128GB or 512GB256GBBattery life2 hours2 hours 12 minutes 2 hoursApple Vision Pro: PerformancePowerful, proven M2 chipR1 appears to take the visual loadNever a lagCould do with more base storageApple’s Vision Pro works as well as it does not only because of…
