Vision Pro Needs Smaller Size and Lower Price to Succeed

Man, Apple really knows how to make a splash, huh? They’re throwing the gauntlet down with this Vision Pro thing. I mean, yeah, it’s like wearing a space helmet — big, clunky, and priced like a small car. But wow, when you put it on? It’s almost like stepping into the future.

So, here’s the deal: Apple calls it “tomorrow’s technology, today.” And, honestly, they’re not lying about the user experience. It’s simple, intuitive, and frankly, kinda mind-blowing compared to, say, the Quest. It might not have all the bells and whistles, but what it does do, it nails. Yet, let’s get real — it’s pricey, and not too many folks are gonna shell out for it right now.

People chatter that Vision Pro’s a flop — like, are they serious? Have they tried it? Sure, it’s not hitting the sales jackpot like, I dunno, the iPhone or something. But folks, it’s like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda. Just because it’s not everyone’s cup of tea doesn’t mean it’s a dud.

I wonder if Apple expected more out of this first go-round. Who knows? But I’m telling you, the experience will knock your socks off if the darn thing didn’t weigh as much as a bowling ball. If they can shrink it down and make it less wallet-busting, I bet it’ll turn heads way more.

Got this idea — cut it down, similar specs, same awesome experience, but half the size and cost? It’s a dream. Imagine that! Just visualize this thing weighing in at around 310 grams. Not outlandish if you consider something like Bigscreen Beyond. That bad boy is only 180 grams. I mean, come on, it’s not exactly apples to apples, but it shows it can be done.

And let’s talk cash, $1,750 ain’t pocket change, but wow, it’s a lot more doable. We could even see these headsets as the “main TV” sorta thing. Wouldn’t that be a kick?

Guess it sounds like I’m just stating the obvious. Smaller, cheaper? Usually a no-brainer for tech. Again, the Vision Pro soars way higher on the experience scale than others and just begging for that compact package.

It’s funny how Vision Pro kinda feels like it’s sneering, “Unleash me!” Just ditch its bulk and hefty price tag — bam, it’s a game-changer. Sounds simple, but man, I bet it’s tough.

And let’s not pretend that all of its wonderfulness doesn’t partly come from that high-end price tag. Yep, that could be part of it. But don’t sleep on the software; that’s where a lot of the magic is. Like, take the Quest 3, okay, higher resolution on paper. Yet, Vision Pro’s design just feels, well, prettier.

Thinking ahead, when Vision Pro gets smaller and cheaper, it won’t stop there. There’ll be sharper features and other nifty improvements.

Bottom line, Apple’s got a vision (pun intended) for what their headset can be. It’s not “if” they’ll get there, but, fingers crossed, “when.”
