Apple: Internal testing shows Vision Pro is too heavy
By ForGeeks Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that Apple Vision Pro gave more of its employees access to the headset after the presentation. Previously, only a select few had been privy to the secret and given the opportunity to try it out.
In the meantime, Apple’s Vision Pro has been available to more employees.
Wider testing revealed a problem — some found the headset too heavy after hours of continuous use. The exact weight is unknown, but the headset uses premium materials such as aluminum and glass, not plastic like other XR headsets.
Apple reportedly already has a ready-made solution — a strap that fits over the user’s head and helps distribute the weight. Has the problem been solved? Not quite, as Gurman reports that the strap will not be included in the retail package because it is not considered necessary.
