Quest Pro owner[1]: it's "a total waste of money", "embarassing how much of an unpolished piece of garbage it feels like", it's "a steaming pile of trash", "infuriating", "buggy", "janky".

MKBHD on the Vision Pro: better image passthrough, better responsiveness, better hand tracking, better eye tracking, better image quality than any other headset he's ever used.

You: "overpriced hardware".

No, better hardware.

Something can be both "more expensive because it's better" and "overpriced" at the same time. Those two are not mutually exclusive.


Someone can't say "let's wait until people have them for review before speculating" and then describe them as "overpriced" at the same time, those two are mutually exclusive.


They most certainly aren't, given Apple's track record for adding about 200% markup on every single product they've made in the last 20 years. This product is overpriced until proven otherwise even if it does exactly what they claim and it beats the competition by a country mile. If it's not $1000 over an already healthy profit margin, that'd be an Apple first in a very long time.


200% markup compared to what? The price they paid for the stuff? This product is not overpriced until any competitor makes anything like as good, and sells it significantly cheaper (people who pay for branding get value from branding). Which we won't know until ~2024 when this thing goes on sale.
