Why I'm NOT Returning My Apple Vision Pro!

There has been a lot of talk recently about returning the Apple Vision Pro, with The Verge even publishing an article talking about why some people are returning their Apple Vision Pro... well I wanted to give the other side of the story and tell you why I am keeping my Apple Vision Pro.

[@rexmaximilian9548]

Simply stated, in my loooooong history of tech (1985 Mac user here), this is the best gen. one device I've ever experienced... by a MILE! Can it get better, of course, but in only two weeks, I've monetized it enough to already pay for it with my architecture clients. Go Apple go!

[@cizuhara]

What matters at the end of the day is, what people feel when using the product. The wide screen touch display was it for the iPhone. The eye tracking and high-res display it is for the Vision Pro. Because of honest videos like this, I have decided to become a full-time visionOS developer. Thank you for inspiring me! 💙

[@southerncyan4098]

❤ This approach to VR tech is certainly the most fun future I know of today~ Good luck, and may your endeavors all work out...

how does one become a full-time visionOS dev

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I think consumer value and sustainability and utility are equally important.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@FloridaWaterRoleplay I guess it means they stop developing for other platforms. I would assume that's risky but potentially a growth area.

[@damiengvideos4337]

Today is my last day to return my AVP as well and I have decided to keep it....I admit the main thing I am doing with it is watching 3D movies but I know more apps will come and I don't see an AVP 2 anytime within the next 2-3 years so might as well ride the AVP train for the next few years and see what comes!

[@ThomasLeichardt]

Same here! The 3D movies are the killer app for now. And I agree, gonna stay on this train rather then return it and wait for the next version, which is probably first half of 2026 at the earliest. Warming up to video production on this too, plus I know we’ll have many new apps and software enhancements along the way. Very excited for where this is all going and can’t wait to see the next version!

[@ibiza09putitthisway]

Greg, seriously don’t doubt yourself. That self deprecating stuff at the end, no need for that. This video was AWESOME! You really conveyed why someone would want to buy and use this device better than anyone I have seen and I have seen a lot of reviews. I love that bit about losing track of time Like when you’re kid playing a new video game. That is a feel and really showed that this device is giving almost an emotional experience Bravo. Amazing review. Best on KZbin. Please keep up the outstanding effort!

[@incredibilistic]

I'm glad you mentioned the article from The Verge as it shows just how jaded people can be when it comes to, well, anything. What's painfully ironic is that with all the talk of the lack of innovation in the industry, Apple enters a new market but because it's not absolute perfection it's deemed an abject failure. It's also easy to lose that sense of excitement when you have no skin in the game because you spent company money instead of your own as well as having access to any and every piece of technology you want. Good on you for hanging onto the Vision Pro.

[@stuartmeek763]

I’ve just got back from NYC, and a visit to the Apple Store at Central Park. Had a great chat with an Apple rep and a hands on with it. This is a Ground breaking piece of kit, given its version 1. I asked him about the return rates and he said he was surprised just how little it was given the ‘stories and videos’ out there. I’m just thinking the content creators are certainly using hype thumbnails to grab views…. And they wonder why views all over are down(apart from obviously more people not working from home etc anymore) but people are know tired of the disingenuousness. New is updates and more developers knowing how amazing this kit is, means it’ll grow exponentially, akin to Moores law if you will. I’m really glad you’re keeping it and I look forward to your journey with it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@user-li6zr1el8k]

Ming-Chi Kuo also researched return rates. According to the report, the return rate for the Apple Vision Pro is less than 1%.

[@JonasViatte]

A big thing that's missing is shared experiences. All these big windows everywhere are nice, but if 2 people have VPs in the same space, you should be able to share some or all the apps you have open with someone else, same as if you had a simple screen in front of you. That would be mind blowing, and would be the most seamless way to watch a movie together etc. And if you're not in the same physical space, it should also be very easy to watch and interact on any app together with someone else who has a VP or Apple device.

[@broken-code]

I’m fine to keep your Apple Vision Pro

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day!

[@benjiebarker]

why is evry environment experience on the vision pro only a fixed position, when i want to walk around the moon it immediately fades out to passthrough...can;t walk around...is spatial computing mean fixed position only?

[@chrisbogart687]

Gen 1, Version 1 of what the future holds for us. It really takes us someplace new and exciting. Great story and video - You grasped what the AVP is and embraced it.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Love to see you exited about that headset. I'm a bit jealous, but then I'm also very happy with my Quest 3. Have it since november and still every time I put it on my head, it's exciting. About the movies I have a similar feeling with my Quest3. I started a few years ago with VR headsets and always thought that watching movies with my beamer is better. Now with the Quest3 it is so good, that I haven't turned on my projector for a long while. Just pop my headset over my head and within a short time I'm watching movies (mostly in pass-through). With a resolution of the VP I can imagine that it's even more fun... So two things should happen simultanously: Apple should come out with a cheaper device or another company should come out with a device (for a lower consumer friendly price) that can do similar things (probably Meta with a Quest4).

[@bradleyfrank7933]

Lot of people returning it, never had an intention of keeping it in the first place. Just bought it to do a review, complain about it, and then send it back to get their money back. I will likely be keeping mine.

I think this is actually one of your best videos and best takes on a product. Really really interesting. Normally, I rip you for returning something in this case, I’m equally going to compliment you for not returning it. Although, in your case, you really need this thing to produce content for the years to come, I still appreciate, when influencers recommend a product and keep it. I really enjoyed your point of view and opinions on it as well. Great video.

[@archdragon90]

10:57 So everyone gets blurriness that you call a Lens Glare when it’s bright? I thought my lenses were just smudgy and I try to clean it over and over and nothing cleans it. So it’s normal? For me I have to watch movies in light, not a dark environment. The glare is worse when it’s in a dark environment.

[@GregsGadgets]

Yeah it’s normal

[@fredrickstepp4041]

One thing I learned is if you reduce the white point and use a daytime background the lens glare disappears. In a completely dark environment, I just reduce the white point further to dial back the glare. It is under accessibility settings for display.

[@saulloweryproductions]

It never was a thought I’d return my AVP. It is indeed a magical piece of hardware, if David Blaine created a headset. Things run so thoughtfully you forget there’s strings being pulled by chips inches away from your face. Like the screen some how stays in place like there actual physical objects or the amount of AI behind the persona’s or the crazy good environments or the eye tracking and hand tracking 🤤.

[@sharonb.9128]

Great video. So true about some reviewers motivations. I’vr said before, returning it was ALWAYS the goal from the moment most of these smaller and even a few medium size KZbinrs bought it. This was about CONTENT! Reviewers admitted that in the past, but now they’re “influencers” trying to catch a sponsor. Don’t fall for the “it’s not worth it” title when it should actually be “I can’t afford it” Who are we kidding? Most people can’t AFFORD a $4000 individual use, VR headset even if it were PERFECT and cooked them breakfast every morning. The AVP is not a mass consumer device. Sorry, cutting edge technology is NEVER released so broke people can be the early adopters. The high price set is normal business practice to reduce demand. The AVP is a supply constrained, 1st gen product, a buggy, imperfect, amazing piece of technology and it’s not for 99% of us.

[@benjiebarker]

spatial computing - means fixed position in immersed 360 environments

[@Symbiotix_Gamer]

Nice down to earth reasoning. The product has been out for couple week, and like any product there will be issues, the best testers in the world are tech people, everyday people that accidently find a bug, discover a flaw etc.. its far to early for many to decide the fate of such a product, i believe many never had any intention of keep the AVP.

[@ashum5731]

I am keeping mine because of the screens but I like my quest more. AVP is supposed to be for productivity but how can you be productive if you have to take it off after an hour or 2 (weight, eye strain, general discomfort). Apple can do a lot of things but there is limited real world use case. Quest is meant for gaming and 2 hours is more than enough for that use case.

[@ThomasLeichardt]

Try the BoboVR M3 with an adapter for the AVP! Mine arrive today and I can’t wait to use the AVP with the BoboVR halo band.

[@Co-opSource]

Also, of the light seal puts too much pressure on some of your face and not evenly distributed you should consider going to an Apple Store and getting a fitting for a better light seal. Made a night & day difference for me!

[@jcabassi]

As I’ve gotten used to mine, I’m able to wear it longer (hours) without much discomfort. That sounds like damning with faint praise, but I find it well worth it, and time flies by when I’m using it.

[@aalvarez2914]

If it’s about productivity, you’re probably more productive if you are taking a short break at least every hour and a half or two..

[@hummersd]

Most of those returning (which has to be taken with a grain of salt because 1. Those that fill out polls may not actually have purchased one and 2. content begets content -- even if they're not returning it, just making a video about it (nobody will ever actually know if they did return it)) likely already had in mind to return it -- an extended trial even though the in-store demos are fantastic. And hey, Apple is a huge company -- they can use the returns as demo units when it expands to other countries, third-party when it expands to other retailers (if it ever does), or eventually refurb to resell to customers that want a bit of a discount. I appreciate and agree much of what you said, and glad you're keeping it. It's a new platform, a new paradigm, with new elements not seen since the iPhone introduction. All the products since then led to this, and it is an incredible start. (And those that complain Apple isn't innovative can sit down.) How the iPhone and subsequent products evolved does set a higher bar, so although some parts of AVP are odd they didn't develop for (Home Screen customization), the other technical achievements blow the competition out of the water. (Just ask Meta, whose execs are now going on the defensive of their own product, lol.) Looking forward to seeing what your longer-term review will result in, and discovering new ways to use it as developers really dig-in, along with OS updates, etc. AVP is very promising!

The best thing about VR/AR or Vision Pro product that is better than anything else is the wait for more apps/games to make real used of its capabilities and usecase. Is not about experiencing for the first time hardware in a beta stage with UI, that's not how you judge such product

[@digitalmonqui]

As a developer, it's about the best way to predict the future is to invent it. Having a device now, lets you learn the lessons and lead by example.

[@garyangelo9952]

I am still considering whether to keep mine or not. Have a couple of days to make the decision. There are moments when I feel certain it is not worth the $4K and I should return it. And then there are other moments of awe or enjoyment in the headset where I think “why not just keep it and go along for the ride.” I do hate the glare issue and that might be the one thing that tips the scale towards a return for me.

[@joelface]

You're going to get years of visionOS updates. There are going to be so many innovative apps and usecases for the VisionOS. Even the next iPhone, I'm SURE, is going to improve upon the Spatial Video aspect of the cameras. PLUS, I hear that Apple is really working on their AI implementation, and I KNOW that will add a ton of extra value to the AVP as well. Not saying you should or shouldn't keep it, but I'm convinced that this thing is going to get better and better and better.

[@koomei2]

Just think whether you will be using it daily or end up not using it after several months. If there is some function of VP that will make you constantly putting it back on rather than using ipad, iphone, pcs, it is worth it.

Nothing that you mentioned about this device is worth 4k to 5k... Typically apple head 😂

[@jeromescott2113]

$4,000 is a lot to spend on a device for a lot of potential. Software updates can’t make it lighter or more comfortable, or improve the field of view or pass through. I got motion sickness when walking around with the Vision Pro on. There is a lot of promise for future generations of this product, but for me there is nothing I enjoy doing more in the Vision Pro than my current devices.

Love your videos Greg, but one thing that concerns me with all these KZbin videos in the lack of content around eye safety and just how your eye's respond once the headset is taken off after a while in the headset and you return to the real world, and if over time all will suffer the same problem that optometrist are concerned about - and that is the number of people that they see with regards to shortsightness in regards to phones, iPad etc. ( I include myself in this, by the way). Remember this is not a TV in which you sit a recommended distance from in relation to the size of the TV, you literally have 2 4k screens sitting inches away from each eyeball, that can't be good in the long run, anyway sounds like a revolutionary product and I'm glad you like it, though I have to say not for me, not because of what I have mentioned above, but I just would not have the workflow to justify the expense (I am from Australia, and the Vision Pro will retail around $5,300 Dollars by the time it is released in Australia, when that is is anyone's guess.) I Don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but I just wish KZbinrs when reviewing gadget like this inform people of the Health risk associated with these product. Anyway Greg good review as always, keep up to good work, and this is just my opinion anyway. God Bless David

[@onekoolfella]

I'm glad that you decided to keep it. I know it sounds negative but I feel most people who are returning are the ones who really couldn't afford it and using the excuse that it was too heavy or the pass through is not clear enough is only to get their money back. Wouldn't you've known this within the first 7 days? I'm looking to see how much the refurbished versions will now cost.

I definitely disagree with having the battery inside the headset being an improvement. It would just make it SUPER front heavy even more than people are saying it is.

I don't expect them to remove the external battery anytime soon. It will more than likely become normal to us and Apple will soon be using it to increase the device's processing power. Getting the headset to be as light as possible and as powerful as possible is the key to its future success. The external battery/computer will be key to that success. If battery tech evolves drastically (lighter and smaller) and if chips radically change maybe then we will see the ditching of the external battery.

[@DingleBerryschnapps]

Good luck with that. Even as a power user I can't find a single use for them outside a monitor strapped to my head. No thanks. My head starts to ache after 30 minutes wearing full size headphones. It's more comfortable sitting at a desk with nothing strapped to my head and a place to lay my arms. I would never wear these in public. They will start to get stolen soon. I'm getting away from having my nose stuck in a device. That's why I got an Apple watch. This would be going in the complete opposite direction. Previously I was saying they could be used in a scientific or engineering environment but now I'm hearing Engineers are complaining about headaches and eye strain. Enjoy your $3500 head monitor.

Waiting for OS 1.2, waiting for INFUSE app to land for vision pro, waiting for multi language keyboards and menus. ..waiting for AMAZE VR to update with new MVs, waiting for DEOVR to land in vision pro, so many things for us to look forward. And in this moment, I will occasionally put it on to watch some of Korean MV , Miss Grand Thailand in swimsuits......some VR180 videos, you know.......hope in the future APPLE will think like Steve Jobs , make the price cheaper, so everyone could buy it, and use it, this thing is way too expensive, even the new M4 iPad....Tim didn't know that that how APPLE almost died before the first iPhone released.

I also hope more apps show up. It is great to use for now though.

Just finished my demo of the AVP! Absolutely amazing! I didn’t want to like it, but now I will be getting one….

No chance Greg even thought about returning it. He was committed to it before it ever came out of the box.

[@macman2141]

Keeping mine for sure!!

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

Would be cool, if they offered a Discount on the Returned Headsets. Maybe, then I will consider getting one. 😉👌

Hi Greg! 🙋🏼

The main thing it needs is better pass through both ways. The appearance of the ‘eyes’ to the outside world is probably more critical than AOD on an Apple Watch making it look like a watch! Seeing out needs to be clearer too and the Avatars for FT also should be more realistic and less ghostly. Finally shared VP experiences are a must for this thing to fly otherwise it risks being a prison for the user and dehumanising to the spectator!

I’m still waiting to see applications that are actually spacial, rather than a bunch of flat apps

I've had my AVP for 10 days and I disagree with you and many other reviewers that this is clearly a "gen 1" device. Technically of course, it is. But it's MUCH more mature than the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch were when they launched. It seems to me the thing almost everyone is missing is, this is NECESSARILY a thing you're going to have to put on your face. There are a bunch of things that are always going to go with that - at least some weight (I'm already totally used to mine and even after many hours don't feel the slightest need to take it off), at least some isolation from your environment (after all, that's literally it's purpose), it's going to mess up your hair at lest a little, the passthrough video is NEVER going to look the same as if there weren't something between you and the outside world, etc. It's like some reviewer were given a super expensive Bentley to review with 500 mile range. And the reviewer says, "Well, it IS incredibly comfortable and roomy, and super quiet, and gets unbelievable milage, and has the best entertainment system I've ever heard, but 500 miles is a LONG trip, right ? And at some point Bentley surely knows you're going to need to stretch your legs, right ? And there is ZERO standing room in this car - I mean ZERO ! What the hell ? And you're going to get hungry after like 300 miles or so, right ? There is NO refrigerator, NO stove, NO oven, NO microwave ... I mean, how the hell am I supposed to make something to eat in this thing, right ? " That's what most of these reviews sound like to me. This one is better than most but what doesn't come across is, even with the v1.1 beta that's out now, there are already major improvements all across the board and it's only been out for two weeks. After 6 months this thing is going to be MUCH more mature - without a single change to the device itself. I think it's going to be a long time before Apple needs to revise the hardware to make progress. They're going to make huge advances with just the s/w long before then. To me it's more like a gen 3 or get 4 product at launch. I'm not taking mine back either.

[@Starlite4321]

@@rangerkayla8824 Totally true but my point was that whether it's heavier than the far less capable Quest 3 (or anything else for that matter) or not, I got used to it almost immediately. The things that can be improved can mostly be improved with s/w and that has already started just 2 weeks in. It's going be quite awhile before Apple's going to have to improve the hardware to continue to make progress. It's not like the iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch first gen products.

[@TheSpacemanSpliff]

100% agree. No way I'm returning mine.

[@Nimariel]

If the line turns out anything like the iPod or iPhone, 20 years your first-release copy will sell for an absolute ton of money.

[@GregsGadgets]

Haha true, maybe I should buy one and never open it.

[@robertp457]

What would be the condition of a wearable tech device in 20 years?

[@Nimariel]

@@robertp457 about the same as the original iPods and iPhones today. Useless but considered collectors pieces.

[@karenmushatt3225]

I’m not returning mind either I’ll be keeping it

[@dominicwei770]

I‘m not getting it!? 😉 The Vision Pro is an overengineerd product for me. It is for sure interresting. But as you said it still has so much flaws. Maybe all the intigrated tech justifies the price. But for a third of the price beeing an external Display for my other Apple devices, I think I have bought one. I dont want to complain. This is a product, that just is not ment for me. So one last thought. Why if there is that nasty external battery dangeling on that cable, dident they include all the computing stuff in that external case to make the headset smaller and lighter. I‘m not getting it…

[@mrparts]

Lol. Your thumbnail looks like you just saw your credit card statement

[@alohakawika]

Just when you begin to question Vision Pro, just remember KZbin is now working on a native visionOS app after weeks of stating that they had no plans of developing one up until the release lol😉
