Vision Pro Needs to Be Smaller and More Affordable to Succeed

Sure, here’s a rewrite that captures a more chaotic and human tone:

Okay, so Apple’s dipping into the headset pool, and it’s like, whoa there. They’ve really set this whole new level with their UX drag race. Seriously, once they shrink this bad boy and drop the price, people are gonna flock to it like seagulls to a French fry.

Vision Pro—yeah, they’re calling it “tomorrow’s tech, today.” And I gotta say, they’re not lying. It’s got this user experience that basically dusts the competition. The thing is so easy to use, like, somehow simpler than finding a matching sock. But let’s not sidestep the real deal—like, it’s kinda huge and costs more than my last vacation. Most folks? Forget it; probably not worth it.

Now, there’s this chitchat whispering around that maybe Vision Pro’s a flop for Apple. I mean, ouch, right? But having worn this thing since it came out (like, glued it to my head), I can tell you, it smashes everything else out there.

Comparing Vision Pro to the competition is a bit like calling a Ferrari a flop because it’s not a Honda. I mean, it’s not for everyone, sure, but when it fits, it really fits, y’know?

Honestly, I’ve no clue if the first-gen met Apple’s hopes or if it slipped through the cracks. But what I do know is this device is mind-blowing, held back mainly by its chunky size and wallet-gouging price tag.

Imagine if they could sprinkle some magic tech dust and poof—same magic specs in something like half the size. Come on, Apple! Cut the price too, and we’d see a demand explosion, no joke.

Look at Bigscreen Beyond, it’s like 180 grams, super lightweight! Not standalone, yeah, but shows what’s possible with tech today. So, how ’bout squeezing this into smaller shoes and ditching that price tag down to, say, $1,750—still pricey but hey, your living room would have the coolest TV around.

It’s kinda obvious, right? Smaller and cheaper is usually good news. But here’s the twist: Vision Pro? Majorly held back by being bulky and pricey—it’d break out like a wild mustang if they chop both size and cost.

I mean, sure, shrinking the Quest would be neat, but there’s a snag—the core UX’s still kinda, well, awkward. Vision Pro just feels restrained by its own heft and cost—it’s on the edge, ready to dazzle.

Sure, saying this is a piece of cake is sweet talk. Some might argue Vision Pro’s goodness comes from its high sticker price and fancy hardware. To some extent, yeah, that’s valid—but no, really. Lots of times, it’s actually the snazzy software making Vision Pro feel so easy on the eyes and brain. I mean, like, Quest 3 boasts higher resolution, yet Vision Pro feels like virtual velvet due to its slick design.

Anyway—fast forward to the future, when they halved size, cost, and tossed in some juicy refinements—whoa! The big question isn’t “if” but “when” are they gonna package that silver bullet.

And there it is, a tech journey from mega-bucks to more eyeballs. Curious where it’ll land, right?
