I’ve been trying out VR headsets since the OG Oculus Rift back in 2016, and the Vision Pro is far and away the most frictionless, “things just work” experience I’ve ever had with one. So, is the Apple Vision Pro actually worth it - in terms of both money and these potential trade-offs? Here’s what I think after working, playing, watching movies and more or less living in Apple’s long-awaited headset for two weeks. But a high cost is far from the headset’s only caveat, and even serial early adopters with deep pockets will have to consider if they want to deal with occasionally uncooperative software, heavy hardware that gets uncomfortable and the fact that you might not have a great time using it if you live in a household full of people. Somewhere between these moments, I’m constructing 3D puzzles, going stargazing and getting my heart rate up with some rhythm-based gaming, fluidly bouncing from app to app in a way that even the best VR headsets can’t deliver.Īdd all these experiences together and the Vision Pro’s staggering $3,500 price tag starts to become slightly less preposterous. When I’m done working for the day, I bring my headset to the couch and enter my own personal movie theater that makes my OLED TV look tiny by comparison. All my usual apps are floating in front of me, where I can effortlessly flick them around my office like I’m Tony Stark - and see a whole lot more at once than I can on my monitor. When everything is working right on Apple Vision Pro, it feels like true sci-fi magic. Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
