Apple's Vision Pro, the mixed-reality headset unveiled at the June 2023 Worldwide Developers Conference, has created a substantial buzz in the tech industry. This excitement translated into a notable increase in Reddit discussions during the second week of June. Among Redditors, there is a divergence of opinions regarding the device. While some are enamored with its functional and wearable technology, others have expressed reservations about its steep price, restricted gaming features, and brief battery life, reveals the Social Media Analytics Platform of GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Smitarani Tripathy, Social Media Analyst at GlobalData, comments: "Mixed reaction was recorded among Redditors related to Apple's new headset. A group of Redditors was impressed with Vision Pro as they see the device as a real functional, wearable tech. Meanwhile, Redditors also discussed many disadvantages of the device such as high price, low battery support and not being a gaming-friendly device."
Further analysis of discussions revealed "Pricing" as one of the trending topics among Redditors on Vision Pro as they described the price of the product as highly expensive, though it comes with a fully 3D interface. They are of the opinion that it cannot be a product for the masses given its price and it will deter many potential users from considering it.
Several gaming enthusiasts among Redditors highlighted that they see it as a more enterprise-designed device than a gaming device as it does not have a dedicated controller to connect with the steam of gaming and has only 1-2 hours of battery life. Redditors also pointed out that the device could lead to disconnection from everyday human real life.
Besides other key topics of discussion, Redditors mentioned about the competition in the VR headset market. They argued in favor of Meta's Quest as an affordable VR Headset. Redditors also mentioned the size of Sony's PSVR2 headset, which they found quite larger when compared to the Apple Vison Pro headset. Besides this, Redditors also highlighted specifications related to display quality, size, processing, power, audio, and usage, etc. to differentiate between Apple Vision Pro and other AR/VR headsets which include PSVR2, Meta Quest2.
It has been around a long time, yes, but I disagree on the reasonable price point bit. The Meta Quest is arguably the first affordable VR headset because you don't need a high-end gaming PC to go with it.
