The Vision Pro is great for watching movies, viewing 3D videos, and using as a display for a Mac, but some people have struggled to find a day-to-day use for the device.</p> <p>At over 1.3 pounds, the Vision Pro is heavy and fatigue can set in quickly. There are two bands options to improve fit and comfort, but for some, it is hard to wear the headset for long periods of time. There is also an external battery pack to contend with, and the headset is not easy to travel with, especially with Apple's dedicated Travel Case. </p> <p>The Vision Pro is undoubtedly Apple's most technically advanced product and an incredible feat of engineering that is impressive when it is first viewed, but those considering a purchase should <strong>try it at the Apple Store</strong> and <strong>do a lot of research</strong> on what can be done with it before making a purchase. The Vision Pro is excellent for watching movies and consuming content, plus it can be used as a display for a Mac, but it has a limited number of apps and games.</p> <p>It will be at least a year before Apple comes out with a new version of the Vision Pro, and rumors suggest that the next Vision Pro will be cheaper with lower-end components. It is not quite clear when a new model is coming, but it is at least a year away, so now is <strong>a good time to buy the headset</strong>. </p> </div> </section> <section> <h2 class="section-title" id="apple_vision_pro">Apple Vision Pro</h2> <div class="col-80 center"> <div class="table-of-contents"> <h2>Contents</h2> <ol> <li><a href='#should_you_buy_the_vision_pro'>Should You Buy the Vision Pro?</a></li><li><a href='#apple_vision_pro'>Apple Vision Pro</a></li><li><a href='#how_to_buy'>How to Buy</a></li><ul><li><a href='#whats_in_the_box'>What's in the Box</a></li></ul><li><a href='#vision_pro_reviews'>Vision Pro Reviews</a></li><li><a href='#how_it_works'>How It Works</a></li><li><a href='#design'>Design</a></li><li><a href='#display'>Display</a></li><ul><li><a href='#lens_inserts'>Lens Inserts</a></li></ul><li><a href='#cameras_and_sensors'>Cameras and Sensors</a></li><ul><li><a href='#navigation'>Navigation</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#optic_id'>Optic ID</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#3d_camera'>3D Camera</a></li></ul><li><a href='#audio'>Audio</a></li><li><a href='#connectivity'>Connectivity</a></li><li><a href='#processors_and_ram'>Processors and RAM</a></li><ul><li><a href='#storage_space'>Storage Space</a></li></ul><li><a href='#battery_life'>Battery Life</a></li><li><a href='#visionos'>visionOS</a></li><ul><li><a href='#mac_integration'>Mac Integration</a></li></ul><li><a href='#vision_pro_how_tos'>Vision Pro How Tos</a></li><li><a href='#medical_warnings'>Medical Warnings</a></li><li><a href='#production_end'>Production End</a></li><li><a href='#whats_next_for_vision_pro'>What's Next for Vision Pro</a></li><ul><li><a href='#vision_pro_2'>Vision Pro 2</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#a_cheaper_headset'>A Cheaper Headset</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#a_tethered_headset'>A Tethered Headset</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#software'>Software</a></li></ul><ul><li><a href='#smart_glasses'>Smart Glasses?</a></li></ul><li><a href='#apples_long_term_arvr_plans'>Apple's Long Term AR/VR Plans</a></li><ul><li><a href='#apples_health_testing'>Apple's Health Testing</a></li></ul><li><a href='#apple-vision-pro-timeline'>Apple Vision Pro Timeline</a></li> </ol> </div> <p>Apple Vision Pro is Apple's <strong>augmented and virtual reality headset</strong>, a device that has been in development for more than a decade. Vision Pro marks the company's first entrance into a major new product category since the 2015 Apple Watch, and the device launched on February 2, 2024.</p> <p>While the Apple Vision Pro is definitely a headset, Apple does not use that word when referring to the product. Instead, Apple calls it a <strong>spatial computer</strong> because of its ability to <strong>blend digital content with the physical world</strong>. Apple refers to the Vision Pro as the first spatial computing device.</p> <p>Apple Vision Pro is a <strong>mixed reality headset</strong> that displays <strong>augmented reality content</strong> overlaid on the world around you, and immersive <strong>entirely virtual content</strong>, but it's worth noting that the headset is not see through. Everything you see is digital. For augmented reality content that does not make your surroundings disappear, Apple uses cameras that map out what's in front of you, translating that into a digital image augmented by virtual elements. </p> <p>For a virtual reality experience, Apple shuts off those cameras and can make it seem like you are completely isolated from what's going on around you, allowing you to focus solely on what's being displayed on the headset's screens. This shift between the "real" and the "immersive" can be controlled with an on-device <strong>Digital Crown</strong>. </p> <p>Design wise, Apple Vision Pro is <strong>not unlike a pair of ski goggles</strong>, featuring a <strong>singular piece of laminated glass</strong> for the front that melds into an <strong>aluminum alloy frame</strong>. A soft, fitted <strong>Light Seal</strong> attaches magnetically to the frame and conforms to your face to block out light. </p> <p>Two <strong>Audio Straps</strong> with built-in speakers are positioned at the sides of the headset, delivering <strong>Spatial Audio</strong> that blends what you're hearing on the headset with what's going on in the real world. The Audio Straps connect to a <strong>3D knitted headband</strong> that holds the Vision Pro in place. Apple designed it to be <strong>breathable, cushiony, and stretchy</strong> for comfort, and a <strong>Fit Dial</strong> ensures the headset fits tight against your head. There's also a <strong>dual-strap design</strong> that evenly distributes the weight between the back and top of the head. Apple plans to offer Light Seals and headbands in multiple sizes, and these components are swappable. </p> <p>Inside the frame, there are two <strong>micro-OLED displays</strong> that deliver <strong>over 4K resolution to each eye</strong> for a total of <strong>23 million pixels</strong>. There's also an external display called <strong>EyeSight</strong> that projects an image of your eyes <strong>so people can tell</strong> whether you're <strong>using the headset in an immersive mode</strong> or if you can see what's going on around you. For <strong>glasses wearers</strong>, there are custom prescription <strong>Zeiss Optical Inserts</strong> that can be attached magnetically to the headset's lenses.</p> <p>There are no controllers for Apple Vision Pro, with the headset instead controlled by <strong>eye tracking, hand gestures, and voice commands</strong>. An app can be navigated to and <strong>highlighted by looking at it</strong> and then <strong>opened with a tap of the fingers</strong>. Scrolling is done with a simple flick of the fingers. </p> <p>More than a <strong>dozen cameras and sensors</strong> in Apple Vision Pro map out the world around you, keeping track of your hand and eye movements. <strong>Optic ID</strong>, which scans your iris with infrared lights and cameras, is used for authentication. Each person has a unique iris pattern, and Optic ID is akin to Face ID and Touch ID. It can be used for unlocking the device, making purchases, and as a password replacement. </p> <p>There are two <strong>Apple silicon chips</strong> inside Vision Pro, including the <strong>same M2 chip</strong> that's in the Mac and a <strong>new R1 chip</strong>. The M2 chip runs visionOS, executes computer vision algorithms, and provides graphics, while the R1 chip processes input from the cameras, sensors, and microphones. </p> <p>Apple Vision Pro can take <strong>3D photos and videos</strong> using a built-in camera that's powered by <strong>tapping on the top button</strong> of the device. Apple says that users can capture videos and photos in 3D and then relive those memories like never before. Vision Pro shows existing photos and videos in large scale, making them more immersive, and with visionOS 2, there is an option to convert 2D photos to 3D photos using depth information. Note that <strong>when you are recording video</strong>, Vision Pro makes it clear that recording is happening with an animation on the external display.</p> <p><div class="center-wrap"><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container'><div class="ls_video_embed aspect-16-9 lazyload" data-youtube="a5C0OR2VMz8" data-ytparams="modestbranding=1" data-thumb-size="maxresdefault"><button class="play-btn">play</button></div></div></div><em><a href="//www.youtube.com/user/macrumors?sub_confirmation=1">Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel</a> for more videos.</em></div></p> <p>Due to weight constraints, Apple did not put a battery in Apple Vision Pro.

You can <strong>position apps and windows</strong> in mid-air, rearranging them <strong>as you see fit</strong>, with multiple windows supported. Apple says there's <strong>an "infinite canvas" to work with</strong>. Apps can be displayed in the real world so that you're in so you can stay present with what's going on around you, or you can use a more immersive view that shuts out the world and puts content on a virtual background called an <strong>Environment</strong>.</p> <p>A <strong>visionOS operating system</strong> runs on Apple Vision Pro, and it has a dedicated App Store with apps designed specifically for the device, but it is also able to run <strong>iPhone and iPad apps</strong>. You can <strong>connect the Vision Pro to a Mac</strong>, with the headset serving as a display for the Mac. It <strong>works with Bluetooth accessories</strong> for text input and control, or you can use <strong>virtual typing</strong> or dictation for text. </p> <p>There is a main <strong>Home View</strong> that has all of your favorite Apple apps like Mail, Messages, Music, Safari, Photos, and more, with your <strong>data synced through iCloud</strong>. The interface is similar to the iPhone interface, but you can open apps and arrange them virtually. Apple is <strong>updating its main apps for visionOS</strong> and has created APIs for developers, plus Apple is providing Vision Pro test kits to developers for app testing. Apple Vision Pro offers an <strong>immersive experience for entertainment</strong> like TV and movies, and the Apple TV app has more than 150 3D titles. Content can be expanded to feel like it's in your own personal theater, complete with spatial audio.</p> <p><strong>FaceTime</strong> has been <strong>redesigned for Vision Pro</strong>. People on the call are shown in large tiles to the headset wearer, while the headset wearer is shown as an accurate digital recreation using their <strong>Digital Persona</strong>. With FaceTime, Vision Pro users can collaborate on documents with colleagues or share apps with others, and spatial audio makes it clear who is speaking.</p> <p>The <strong>Cinema Environment</strong> allows you to watch shows and movies at the frame rate and aspect ratio chosen by the creator, or you can use a nature-themed <strong>Environment</strong> to make the screen feel 100 feet wide. Apple created <strong>Apple Immersive Videos</strong> that are 180-degree 3D 8K recordings that put users right inside the action, plus streaming services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ are available on Vision Pro. As for gaming, Vision Pro <strong>supports Apple Arcade</strong>, with 100 iPad games to be available at launch. Games can be played with <strong>Bluetooth game controllers</strong> that connect to the headset. </p> <p><small><b>Note:</b> See an error in this roundup or want to offer feedback? <a href="mailto:juli@macrumors.com">Send us an email here</a>.</small></p> </div> </section> <section> <h2 class="section-title" id="how_to_buy">How to Buy</h2> <div class="col-80 center"> <p>The Vision Pro is available in retail stores and for purchase from the online store in countries where the headset has launched.

For the most part, reviewers have been impressed with the hardware and the technology introduced by the Vision Pro, but there are questions about the actual function of the device, the intuitiveness of the gesture-based control, the weight and comfort, and VR in general.</p> <p><div class="center-wrap"><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container'><div class="ls_video_embed aspect-16-9 lazyload" data-youtube="8xI10SFgzQ8" data-ytparams="modestbranding=1" data-thumb-size="maxresdefault"><button class="play-btn">play</button></div></div></div></div></p> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/24054862/apple-vision-pro-review-vr-ar-headset-features-price"><em>The Verge</em>'s Nilay Patel</a> offers one of the best Vision Pro overviews. He said it is clear that Apple has the absolute best hardware introduced in a VR headset to date, but there are still major tradeoffs to deal with. Patel found the Vision Pro uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, and was not a fan of the fit because of its impact on hair and makeup.</p> <p>He found the Vision Pro to be isolating, and said that the "in there" experience of VR did not come close to the "out there" experience of working in the real world with external devices like the Mac. "You're in there, having experiences all by yourself that no one else can take part in," Patel wrote. "I've come to agree with what Tim Cook has been saying for so long: headsets are inherently isolating."</p> <p><div class="center-wrap"><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container'><div class="ls_video_embed aspect-16-9 lazyload" data-youtube="hdwaWxY11jQ" data-ytparams="modestbranding=1" data-thumb-size="maxresdefault"><button class="play-btn">play</button></div></div></div></div></p> <p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/apple-vision-pro-review-39f2d82e"><em>The Wall Street Journal</em>'s Joanna Stern</a> said that the hand gestures captured by cameras in the headset were intuitive, and that navigation made sense. But sometimes the eye tracking didn't respond to movement, and Patel said he found it distracting to have to be looking at what he wanted to manipulate because that's not the experience on a Mac or an iPhone.</p> <p>The virtual in-the-air keyboard "will drive you mad for anything longer than a short message," according to Stern. To do any "real work," users will need a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. </p> <p><div class="center-wrap"><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container'><div class="ls_video_embed aspect-16-9 lazyload" data-youtube="DQoU4dPig5E" data-ytparams="modestbranding=1" data-thumb-size="maxresdefault"><button class="play-btn">play</button></div></div></div></div></p> <p>The EyeSight external display was universally disliked by reviewers who found it blurry, unrealistic, and hard to see at best, and creepy at worst. The same goes for Personas. Reviewers did not find them to be an accurate representation of themselves, and others viewing the Personas found them strange and in uncanny valley territory.</p> <p>Apple's internal microOLED displays were better received, and reviewers praised the quality, sharpness, and low latency of the display for watching movies, working, and similar tasks. Some pointed out that the color range is more limited than expected, and that there is vignetting at the sides of the display due to the shape of the device. </p> <p>There's also motion blur, and the cameras work less well in low-light conditions, leading to blurry text and images that are hard to see. That's a problem when the Vision Pro is used in an augmented reality mode, as the cameras are showing a passthrough feed of what's around the wearer. Patel said that it is by far the best video passthrough device to date, but it's still just not as good as looking at the real world. </p> <p><div class="center-wrap"><div class='video-wrapper'><div class='video-container'><div class="ls_video_embed aspect-16-9 lazyload" data-youtube="CaWt6-xe29k" data-ytparams="modestbranding=1" data-thumb-size="maxresdefault"><button class="play-btn">play</button></div></div></div></div></p> <p>There were no overly impressive app experiences or VR games, though reviewers were impressed with the ability to place windows of any size anywhere in the space around them. Window management is not intuitive, though, and while the Vision Pro can serve as a display for the Mac, users can only set up a single Mac display in visionOS, rather than having a setup that looks like multiple Mac monitors. </p> <p><a href="https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/apple-vision-pro-review-a-mind-blowing-look-at-an-unfinished-future/"><em>CNET</em>'s Scott Stein</a> was surprised at the lack of blending of virtual and reality in apps or environments given Apple's focus on AR. "I haven't seen virtual things hop on my sofa, or run behind furniture. I haven't placed apps on walls or turned windows into aquariums," he said. "Apple's ARKit on iOS already can do this, but so far Vision Pro isn't emphasizing these tricks."</p> <p>Reviewers agreed that watching TV and movies was one of the best use cases for the Vision Pro, and Patel said that there is a case to be made for using it as a very expensive TV. There were more mixed reactions to Apple's 3D content, though.</p> <p>Stern said that every time she watched one of the 3D 180-degree videos that Apple created for the Vision Pro, she felt nauseous, and Patel also said that spatial videos and other content with a lot of motion can cause nausea. Stein felt that while the videos look impressive, the frame rate and resolution "don't feel good enough to be ultra-real yet."</p> <p>The speakers work well and offer decent audio, but they are not isolated and others around the user can hear what's on the headset. Though there are cameras that can capture photos and videos, the quality is not good enough. Stein said he would "never wear the Vision Pro to take photos and videos of [his] family."</p> <p>No one minded the battery too much, because the Vision Pro is a headset that is largely meant to be used while seated. Battery life was a bit longer than two hours in most tests, which is in line with what Apple has said.</p> <p>Both Stern and Patel described the Vision Pro as a clear first-generation product that shows some of the promise of the functionality that might be available as AR and VR technology progress and Apple is able to build a better device. </p> <p>As the Vision Pro is a niche product, reviewers did not recommend the Vision Pro to the average consumer, and said that most people will not want to spend the $3,500 on it. "The Vision Pro isn't a device I'd recommend to any of my friends or family," said Stein.</p> <p>More of reviewers' initial thoughts on the Vision Pro can be <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/review/apple-vision-pro/">found in our review roundup</a>.</p> </div> </section> <section> <h2 class="section-title" id="how_it_works">How It Works</h2> <div class="col-80 center"> <p>Apple Vision Pro is a "mixed reality" headset, meaning it can display both virtual and augmented reality content.

It features a laminated glass front, which Apple says was "three-dimensionally formed." The glass is attached to a curved aluminum alloy frame that wraps around the face. As of now, the headset is only available in silver with matching gray Light Seals and bands. </p> <p>The frame connects magnetically to a Light Seal that sits on the face, and Apple offers the Light Seal in a range of sizes and shapes to fit different faces. A tight fit with the Light Seal is essential for blocking out light and proper operation of the headset. Apple designed the Light Seal to be flexible so that it can conform to individual face shapes. An ill-fitting Light Seal causes the Vision Pro display to be blurry and it allows light to creep in.</p> <p><img alt="vision pro components" width="2034" height="1144" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-898850 lazyload" src="https://images.macrumors.com/images-new/1x1.trans.gif" data-src="https://images.macrumors.com/t/dOEsGFmEV-JAXKAtgV1XKpZv2BI=/400x0/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg?lossy" data-srcset="https://images.macrumors.com/t/dOEsGFmEV-JAXKAtgV1XKpZv2BI=/400x0/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg?lossy 400w,https://images.macrumors.com/t/KrPK94TJgUAuqbrDp221OmslUrw=/800x0/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg?lossy 800w,https://images.macrumors.com/t/7wiKAQJw9o4HYFaY2eAL8yr5hOg=/1600x0/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg 1600w,https://images.macrumors.com/t/wYzm5e4FBOkESlk_g2L5Qc88TIk=/2500x0/filters:no_upscale()/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg 2500w" data-sizes="auto" loading="lazy" /><noscript><img src="https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/06/vision-pro-components.jpg" alt="vision pro components" width="2034" height="1144" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-898850" /></noscript></p> <p>At the side of the headset, there are two audio straps that are equipped with speakers that support spatial audio.

The next headset is expected to include an M5 chip, an upgrade from the M2 chip in the current model. </p> <h3 id="a_cheaper_headset">A Cheaper Headset</h3> <p>Another rumor from <em>The Information</em> suggests that Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/18/apple-suspends-work-on-vision-pro-2/">stopped work</a> on a second-generation version of the Vision Pro headset for the time being to focus its effort on a lower cost model. Apple has allegedly been deprioritizing work on a new high-end model to instead create a more affordable version with fewer features.</p> <p>Apple is aiming to sell the more affordable Vision Pro at the price of a high-end iPhone, which retails for up to $1,600. The aim was to release it at the end of 2024, but Apple does not yet have a firm prototype. Apple is said to be struggling to find ways to cut down on cost because it wants to keep the high-end display components. </p> <p><em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman believes that Apple <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/14/cheaper-apple-vision-headset-2026/">could release</a> a $2,000 version of the Apple Vision Pro as soon as early 2025, but Kuo does not think a cheaper model will come out until "beyond 2027."</p> <p>To cut down on costs, Apple could use a less powerful processor and cheaper materials than aluminum and glass, plus features like the EyeSight display could be removed. Apple might also use larger, lower resolution displays to keep costs low. Apple is rumored to be evaluating OLED panels that are up to 2.1 inches in size with a display density of around 1,700 pixels per inch. The Vision Pro has a 1.42-inch display with a pixel density per inch of almost 3,400.</p> <h3 id="a_tethered_headset">A Tethered Headset</h3> <p>The cheaper Vision Pro could require <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/24/cheaper-apple-vision-pro-tethered-iphone-mac/">a tethered iPhone or Mac</a> to operate, which would allow Apple to save money on processing power and components needed to make it a standalone device. </p> <p>Apple is said to be "seriously considering" an iPhone-connected glasses-like device that offloads the computing components to the iPhone. It would be an accessory for watching movies. </p> <h3 id="software">Software</h3> <p>The Vision Pro is set to <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/06/30/gurman-apple-intelligence-coming-to-vision-pro/">gain Apple Intelligence features</a> at some point in the future, according to <em>Bloomberg</em>'s Mark Gurman. Apple Intelligence will come to the headset, but not in 2024, so it may be a feature that Apple is saving for visionOS 3 in 2025. The Vision Pro is powerful enough to run on-device Apple Intelligence features like writing tools, notification summaries, and the revamped Siri. </p> <h3 id="smart_glasses">Smart Glasses?</h3> <p>Apple wants to make advanced AR glasses that are based on the Vision Pro headset in the future, but the hardware technology does not exist for such a product as of yet. Apple is instead working on smart glasses with <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/14/apple-smart-glasses-airpods-cameras-2027/">built-in cameras</a>, which could be released in 2027. The smart glasses would be similar to Meta's Ray-Bans.</p> <p>The glasses could perhaps serve as an AirPods replacement, featuring built-in speakers, cameras, health sensors, and AI capabilities. Apple is still working on the idea and it is not a product that will launch until 2027 at the earliest.</p> </div> </section> <h2 class="section-title" id="apples_long_term_arvr_plans">Apple's Long Term AR/VR Plans</h2> <section> <div class="col-80 center"> <p>Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple could be planning augmented reality "contact lenses" that <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2021/03/07/kuo-apple-ar-contact-lenses-2030s/">could launch</a> sometime in the 2030s. According to Kuo, the lenses will bring electronics from the era of "visible computing" to "invisible computing." There is "no visibility" for the contact lenses at the current time, and it's not a guaranteed product that Apple will develop.</p> <p>Apple was also developing augmented reality "Apple Glasses" that were supposed to launch a year or so after the headset, but the project has been <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2023/01/17/apple-glasses-postponed/">placed on hold</a> so the company can instead focus on a cheaper version of the AR/VR headset. Apple Glasses are <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2023/05/18/apple-ar-glasses-still-at-least-four-years-away/">expected to launch</a> in 2027 at the earliest.</p> <p>A future version of the AR/VR headset could have <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2023/02/27/apple-ar-vr-headset-eye-disease/">accessibility settings</a> that are designed to help people who suffer from eye diseases and visual issues. </p> <h3 id="apples_health_testing">Apple's Health Testing</h3> <p>In the future, the Vision Pro <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2023/10/25/apple-explores-vision-pro-health-capabilities/">could be used</a> to diagnose and treat mental health issues. Apple has tested using the Vision Pro to track a user's facial expressions to detect depression, anxiety, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other issues. </p> <p>Apple believes that eye-tracking, pupil dilation, and external cameras can measure a person's "affect," a psychological term that refers to how an individual expresses emotions. When a problem is detected, the Vision Pro could play relevant images and sounds to improve the wearer's mental state. </p> <p>Apple has also discussed using the eye-tracking cameras to detect swelling in the blood vessels of the eyes, an early sign of heart failure. </p> </div> </section></div></div></article><h2 class="heading--1cooZo6n heading--h2--2RXk4Pme timelineTitle--3c2DylM9"
