The release of Apple’s Vision Pro, a cutting-edge mixed reality headset, has garnered significant attention and criticism, mainly due to its hefty price tag of $3,500. Since hitting the shelves on February 2nd, some early adopters have reported instances of unexpected cracking in the device.
Initial reports emerged on Reddit, with users expressing dismay over cracks appearing in their Vision Pro headsets seemingly out of nowhere. These cracks tend to develop from the top to the bottom of the device, following its contour. Even reputable sources like Engadget have acknowledged similar issues with their own units.
While these reports raise concerns about the durability of the Vision Pro, it’s important to acknowledge that they represent only a fraction of the user base. In addition to cracking, some users have reported sound issues and challenges with features such as eye tracking and low-light performance.
Despite these challenges, many users still view the Vision Pro as one of the top head-mounted displays available. As Apple’s inaugural venture into mixed reality hardware, encountering initial setbacks is to be expected. With ongoing updates and enhancements, the Vision Pro has the potential to establish itself as a leading device in the mixed reality market.
