Apple Vision Pro
$3,500
We all knew it was coming, but when Apple announced the Vision Pro headset at its Worldwide Developer Conference last week, there were few who imagined the cost would be quite as steep. At just under $3,500, the Vision Pro will be strictly for the enthusiasts or deep of pockets – for now.
For that, you get two high-resolution displays – a custom micro‑OLED display system with 23 million pixels – that give you a better resolution than a 4K TV. That is handy for immersive TV and movie viewing. The headset also works as a 3D camera, capturing spatial photos and videos in 3D at the touch of a button, which you can then relive in the immersive Vision Pro world. And you get FaceTime calls too, all in your own mixed reality world. Apple is also pitching it as a potential work device, giving you a large display area where you can pin apps side by side in whatever scale suits your needs.

It has a two-hour battery pack, but you can leave it plugged in if you don’t mind being tethered.
The headset won’t be available until next year, launching in the US first before it rolls out to the rest of the world. Still, there is plenty of excitement around its potential, which could be what the stuttering industry needs.
