Things that need fixing on Apple Vision Pro

According to BGR , while initial reviews suggest the Vision Pro is truly impressive, it's not without its drawbacks. Here are some limitations of the first-generation Vision Pro that Apple needs to address in the future.

High cost

The $3,499 price tag (approximately 90 million VND when it first launched in Vietnam) is considered the most frustrating aspect of the Vision Pro. This figure stems from the innovations behind this virtual reality headset. Creating a device that's as powerful as a MacBook and capable of handling ski goggles is not cheap.

$3,499 is a hefty price tag for a new device.

Vision Pro has surpassed its predecessors in AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality) and demonstrated Apple's leadership. However, it still comes with a very high price tag. Users can buy seven Quest 3 headsets for $3,499, but the Quest 3 will never be able to match the power of the Vision Pro, so the comparison is truly unfair. Even so, Apple needs to improve this, for example by releasing a more affordable Vision variant in the future.

Weight

As a head-worn device, the Vision Pro's primary focus should be on comfort, something Apple emphasized at its WWDC 2023 developer conference. The problem is, Apple hasn't disclosed its actual weight. The heavier the device, the more uncomfortable it becomes to wear on the head.

Reducing the weight of the Vision Pro at this point is unlikely, but the company is perfectly capable of improving it in future versions.

Powered by artificial intelligence (AI)

Apple has just shown us the future of computing, but one thing that's really missing from the product is an AI tool like ChatGPT. Apple needs such a service to run on all its devices, especially on Vision Pro.

Apple still lacks a useful AI tool like ChatGPT.

Perhaps Siri alone won't be enough, and hopefully Apple can do something before Vision Pro hits stores. For this possibility, future updates to visionOS promise to make the glasses smarter.

Battery life

Users can use the Vision Pro all day when plugged into a power source, but that's only in a stationary position. If people want to move around, battery life is definitely a concern, especially when Apple claims around 2 hours per charge – which isn't great.

Additionally, the portable battery pack that users can carry in their pockets is about the size of an iPhone. While that's a good size to carry around, the included integrated cable and custom connector aren't really convenient.

Mobile connection

The current Vision Pro model only supports Wi-Fi, at least based on Apple's presentation at WWDC 2023, but Apple will clearly mention cellular connectivity if it supports 5G.

Apple made no mention of cellular connectivity when launching the Vision Pro.

For this reason, users will primarily use the glasses indoors and via Wi-Fi. While people can turn their iPhones into a cellular hotspot, the Vision Pro certainly does more if it benefits from cellular connectivity, especially as Apple is moving everything to eSIM.

Cooling capacity

Finally, another concern with the Vision Pro is its cooling capabilities. This is entirely justified when users run multiple applications side-by-side or use applications and games that heavily utilize graphics power.

With a device constantly pressed against the face, overheating is a significant concern. Furthermore, overheating also impacts the Vision Pro's battery life. Hopefully, Apple can prevent this.
