Apple Vision Pro initial reception
Apple has not yet shared official numbers, but analysts believe that the brand sold around 180,000 units of the headset in pre-sale. The number is low by the brand's standards, but it would be in line with the expectations of a product considered expensive and a technology that is still niche.
Early reviews from US journalists and influencers who received the Vision Pro early are full of praise. The headset is considered a truly immersive experience across multiple fieldssuch as entertainment and productivity
However, the device also received some criticism. The mandatory external battery, for example, is heavy and short-lived. Furthermore, the video calling app that generates a virtual avatar based on the user's face is considered limited and visually awkward.
Finally, the absence of popular streaming platforms at launch, such as Netflix, is notable.
This week, on the other hand, the brand announced 600 new apps and games designed for Vision Pro glasses, with more launches planned for the near future.
