Avast ye, me hearties! Apple be tardy in fixin' the heavin' trouble fer the US, but fret not, me mateys! There be still time t' spread the word to the rest o' the world. Yo ho ho, let the international launch commence!
Apple's Vision Pro headset has received complaints from reporters who experienced discomfort while wearing the device during a recent hands-on demo. Engadget and The Verge were given the opportunity to try out the upcoming device, with the preview largely positive. However, both reporters noted that the headset felt heavy and caused discomfort after a short period of time. This issue has been known for a while, with early testers also complaining about the weight of the headset. TechRadar's US Editor-in-Chief suggests that an overhead strap would help support the weight of the device.Despite these complaints, it is unlikely that Apple will address the issue before the American launch in February. However, there may be changes for the international release, which industry insider Ming Chi Kuo suggests could occur just before WWDC 2024 in June. The global release is hindered by a limited number of Vision Pro units and the need to adjust the software to comply with international regulations. Kuo believes that the sooner these matters are addressed, the sooner the Vision Pro will be available in more countries.
Although it is unclear which countries will be part of the initial group to receive the Vision Pro after the US launch, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests that Canada, China, and the UK may be among the first. For those interested in virtual reality headsets, TechRadar provides a list of the best options for 2024. Overall, while the Vision Pro has received positive reviews for its immersive entertainment experience, its weight and discomfort remain issues that Apple will need to address.
