Apple’s recently launched mixed reality headset, the Vision Pro, it is good but there are some problems like battery life, price and limited apps and Apple has faced several challenges and received criticism from users. Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg posted a video on instagram about Vision Pro and its problems.
Main Problems with Apple Vision Pro
There are many problems but here are some main problems like:
Price
The Vision Pro starting price is $3,500, which is significantly more expensive then compared to other mixed reality headsets like Meta Quest and oculus. Its starting at 256Gb storage option and if you want 512Gb then $3699 and for 1TB $3899, not just that Apple Care+ is $500 and we recommend you to but it.
No Screen Sharing
One of the major problem of the Vision Pro is there is no way to share a common screen with other Vision Pro users and you are all alone. This limitation prevents users from experiencing a common screen-sharing experience, which is essential for collaboration and social interactions in mixed reality environments.
Battery Life
Well battery life is good but the main problem is battery is like power bank and you have to keep it in hand or pocket and when you move and if you forgot battery it will fall and can damage.
Limited App Availability
Compared to other popular mixed reality headsets, such as the Meta Quest, the Vision Pro lacks a wide range of applications and there are only 600 apps. There is not popular apps like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more. but you can use iPad apps but they are not completely optimized.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Review of Apple Vision Pro
In a video posted on Instagram, Meta’s founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, shared his thoughts on the Vision Pro. He compared it to Meta’s Quest headset, which retails for $500, and concluded that the Quest is not only more affordable but also a superior product overall.

Mark Zuckerberg’s review further highlighted the superiority of Meta’s Quest headset in terms of affordability, comfort, and overall user experience.
