Eric Kim has a rather critical view of the Apple Vision Pro, highlighting both its physical discomfort and technological shortcomings. He finds the device too heavy, causing neck and head strain, and claims it isn’t as revolutionary as it was marketed to be. He was particularly unimpressed with the spatial video and overall technology, even noting that after 15 minutes of use, his eyes hurt significantly. Kim compares it unfavorably to other VR devices like the Oculus Rift S, which he finds lighter and technically superior.
In a contrasting take, Kim also argues that the Vision Pro is not too expensive, considering its place in Apple’s lineup and the pricing of similar high-end devices, though he doesn’t believe this offsets the discomfort and lack of innovation oai_citation:2,Apple Vision Pro sucks – ERIC KIM oai_citation:1,Apple Vision Pro is Not Expensive – ERIC KIM.
