I didn't want this to happen but somehow I was expecting it.
And it's just Day 1.
It's not enough that it's the best headset on the market in terms of software and hardware; it still has many of the problems that similar devices have.
Note that we're talking about a device that starts at $3800. When the honeymoon period is over, returns are going to be massive.
I didn't really expect so many disappointed people on Day 1:
EDIT AFTER DAY 3:
Vision Pro SubReddit is starting to be filled with these kind of posts now
We, the people that had experience with VR headsets in the past, warned them that this would be the case. That the novelty would wear off and they would feel relieved. This time is even worse because it’s not a 300-500$ device but a 4000$ one.
The AVP it’s an amazing piece of tech but it’s not worth all the hassle and the price for 99% of people.
I only see 3 types of users that might take advantage of the AVP:
-the business man/youtuber with confidential information that is always traveling by plane/train and needs to work on the plane without nobody seeing his work
-a person that travels a lot by plane/train and wants to be entertained
-A person that is always traveling around the world and wants to have his setup wherever he goes
Pretty specific use cases in my opinion and the reason this product will fail in its current state
TL;DR: buyers remorse intensifying
