Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros::The return window for the very first Apple Vision Pro buyers is fast approaching — and some have taken to social media to explain why they won’t be keeping their headsets.
I’m not surprised. Apple Vision Pro is junk. Zuckerberg released a short video giving his opinion and he’s right::Quest is way better in every way and 7 times cheaper.
The Quest is lighter, has no cables, can do AR and VR, has better controllers, has way more apps and games and costs 7(!) times less.
The Vision Pro is bulky and heavy, cords get in the way, the battery only lasts 2 hours, you need special lenses if you use glasses, it barely has any apps and it’s watching you all the time.
Apple should really be embarrassed at how bad this product is after years of R&D and millions spent. They can’t even compete against Quest. All they had to do was copy it but they couldn’t even manage that.
What a joke!
Zuckerberg can’t even buy an SOC to put in the quest to compete with Apple. Qualcomm doesn’t make one. So it can’t be better in every way.
It can be better subjectively to some people. But objectively the Vision Pro has specs other manufacturers literally won’t be able to do for at least 2-3 years, and not for 500 bucks.
The SOC isn’t the whole story. The user experience is what counts. But Qualcomm do hehe a chip as powerful as Apples. Zuck should just buy that
They only recently announced a laptop chip that beats the m2 in SOME benchmarks, but at a higher power draw, but it is not shipping in any product. Mind you Apple is on M3.
Apple is ahead but Qualcomm is not far behind. Plus even the current chips are already powerful enough for this stuff. A Snapdragon Gen 3 should be able to power a headset I would have thought.
Have you used them both?
No. Who has that kind of money? Lol
All those things also apply to the quest besides the controllers and cables…
Can you use the Vision Pro while wearing glasses? I can use my Quest without special lenses because i can just wear my glasses while using it.
They’re two different market segments. The Quest is definitely more practical for most people, but to just day it’s better in every way is a disservice to the fact the tech in the Vision Pro is the best version of VR out there. It’s just way too expensive.
Eh, it also doesn’t support much in the way of software, so I wouldn’t call it the best version of VR just yet.
Oh but it’s not though right? I’m not big into that space but there are professional VR headsets that costs several thousands of dollars, like apples, but still lead it in tech, which to me seem to leave apple’s device in this weird cost middle ground between professional headsets like varjo and consumer headsets like oculus.
Sorry you’re getting downvoted by crying Apple fanboys lol
Lol. Thanks. But I take don’t give a crap about up or downvotes. I literally never look at that ever. I just want to get my opinion out and see what other people’s opinions are.
But you’re right, it’s probably the isheep…
