Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro might not come with a key head strap

The Imaginative and prescient Professional is Apple’s first foray into the XR headset house, and it isn’t low cost. Nevertheless it seems such as you’re getting a powerful set of options and correct computing capabilities on this expensive package deal.

Nonetheless, many Imaginative and prescient Professional testers are discovering that the machine feels heavy after a couple of hours of utilization, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman has claimed in his Energy On e-newsletter.

Apple purportedly has an answer within the type of a second head strap. There’s only one challenge, although.

$3,500 may not get you a second strap
