Apple Vision Pro Users Will Have To Pay More For The AR Headset, Depending On Their Eyesight Strength And The Size Of Their Head

wccftech.com:

The Apple Vision Pro is an ‘over the top’ product in terms of hardware and functionality, but it also means paying a ludicrous sum of $3,499 for the company’s first AR headset. Unfortunately, with one of Apple’s business strategies is making money off its products’ accessories, there is a chance that users will have to pay more for this, and that will depend entirely on how weak their eyesight and how large their head is.

We have already known from a previous report that the Apple Vision Pro may not be compatible with every user, especially those with weaker eyesight than others, so they will likely have to spend more on prescription lenses. However, iOS developer and 9to5Mac author Benjamin Mayo recently discovered that the Apple Vision Pro headband had the letter ‘M’ inscribed on the fabric, suggesting that it is for medium-sized heads.

He also notes that during the presentation, there was another variant with an over-the-header strap, meaning that it could be another accessory that Apple ends up charging customers. While the price of the prescription lenses and different-sized headbands were not mentioned in the tweet, it does reveal that if you intend to purchase the Apple Vision Pro, spending $3,499 is not going to be the maximum limit as those aforementioned accessories might get added to the total.

So presenter phrasing said "starting at" $3499. The band has an 'M' inscribed in the fabric, suggesting multiple sizes, and at one point in the keynote you can see a variant with an over-the-header strap too. Add in prescription lenses and who knows how much you'll be spending. pic.twitter.com/HkTBhw0ILg
