Apple Vision Pro returns increase according to X and Google Trends

Social media posts are not too happy with the Apple vision pro, as the posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) are mounting up about people being disheartened and dissatisfied using the $3000 product on their head.

This month saw one of the most anticipated tech releases in the market. While influencers did carry a somewhat positive tune in their review of the Apple’s Vision Pro, now that it has landed on the hands of the regular consumer, the opinions are far too different and somewhat expected. 

We have to look nowhere but X or formerly known as Twitter for live global reaction of people who have genuinely purchased the Apple Vision Pro but seem to be not too happy on how the product turned out to be in real life.

Why are people returning Apple Vision Pro?

During the beginning of the month, we saw a rise in people purchasing the headset even though there was some bug reported. As many people were aware of the fact, they have the ability to return the product within 14 days from the purchase. The company’s 14-day return window left many doors open for the people to try the product out for a while.

But now, the tone behind the Apple Vision pro seems to be far too negative, as it has entered the Disappointing zone of the internet. The trend of returning the headset seems to be on the rise. Twitter posts complaining about the product is not something new or revolutionary, people tend to let their voices head one way or the other.

But for Apple Vision Pro, each twitter post seems to carry the same flaws. Uncomfortability seems to be the major turn off for a lot of people who bought the Vision pro. And a handful of consumers are going through many productivity issues using the headset.

People have put comfortably over every other aspect about the headset. Now with the release of Vision pro, while some are genuinely excited to see top-level features being present in the headset, most are not happy dealing with the weight of the machine.

Most of the criticism here echoes what Mark Zuckerberg had said about the Vision Pro just a day earlier. As Zuckerberg pulled back no punches reviewing Vision Pro, his review did question the comfortability of Vision Pro over his own headset Meta Quest 3. The discomfort people are feeling wearing the device seems to outweigh the sheer number of features they have over their eyes.

As the vision pro can weigh up to 650g, the battery pack is another mess that adds on an additional 353g on its own.

The Voice of X on Apple Vision Pro

Here is a look of X ‘twitter’ media personalities and their voices on Apple Vision pro and why they are returning it.

Product manager at Verge Parker Ortolani had pretty rough words for Apple Vision pro. As he complained about the headset’s uncomfortability and experiencing strain around his eyes. He returned the product by mentioning the physical tradeoff for wearing such a device seems to be way too high.

Another X user Adam Hollander returned the product and was met with surprised faces from the customers and employees in the Apple store.

Twitter user Markwulf posted a video about not having a good time dealing with Vision pro.

Tech Influencer Rjey returned his Vision pro by complaining about constant headaches he was getting after using the headset for only 10 minutes.

A senior editor on Verge also felt the same distaste of using the Apple Vision pro headset by echoing the same problems mentioned above.

When you look at the launch of any VR headset product, many people are turned off to the idea of wearing it. As it can lead up to huge physical distress in the head. While Apple did put all their eggs in one handbasket, they seemed to have missed their mark in paying attention to the comfortability of the headset.

Mark Zuckerberg review of the Apple Vision Pro seems to be aligned with what people have to say about the headset. If you look at the market today, the products that stay in the air for a long time, seem to have more than features going for them. Comfortability is one of the many demanding requirements in almost any product that demands user’s interaction. A product such as a headset needs to hit comfortability first before moving on to anything significant.
