In my Apple Vision Pro hands-on review, I reveal what it’s like to buy Vision Pro in the UK, what the setup process is like, how on earth you get it working outside of the US, and what Apple’s headset is like to use for the very first time. I genuinely had no idea what was going to happen in this video. Join me on this exciting journey into the unknown!

Before you do a follow-up I'd be most interested in your thoughts on the issues highlighted by top-notch reviewers, such as MKBHD and Max Tech, whereby usability (domestically and at work) could be improved. I'm seriously considering buying a Vision Pro to watch 3D movies - is this something you could test, not just the ones available in iTunes, but could my 3D blu-ray player connect to it?

Great review as always Mark. I think the Apple Vision Pro is for those hardcore Apple geeks out there with more money than sense. I have a Macbook Pro, Apple Watch Ultra, IPAD Pro, so already immersed in the Apple environment, but I personally could not justify spending £3k+ on Vision Pro. You can't beat working with a proper macbook/Ipad in front of you. How long would it take before the novelty wears off after users suffer yet another round of neck-aches? Will you be wearing these full time from now on, or just now and then? I believe wearing these outside in public could be a real concern for individuals personal security too.
@watchcommander2012 2 місяці тому
A great video Mark probably the best one I’ve watched on the Vision Pro. I still see it as just another VR headset all be it with all the Apple bells and whistles it’s not at the moment what Apple made it out to be. However it will get better and better with each new version just like the iPhone and Apple Watch. Unless you can clearly define a need for it at the moment it’s just to expensive!

Hi Mark, I watched the video and understand you are going to integrate the Vision Pro into your life. When working with multiple applications. I.e. office, you are able to create multiple monitors. I believe initial focus of the vision, pro is business applications. The other would creative applications. I am wondering about the ability to dictate on the device. Period. This would remove the need for typing. Does the Vision Pro eliminate the use of a laptop or desktop? This to me would be a great tool. it would eliminate clutter. As for the weight of the vision pro, you might need to start working out your neck! Good luck!

Hey, such a refreshing review because of the European context! Thank you so much. I can relate 🖖🏻 I’m from Latvia and generally did the same as you. I ordered it out of curiosity - not knowing what to expect, excited and worried. The same situation - no local Apple ID support for now, extra costs for getting it to EU, a goal to figure out this product category. I’m blown away by the screen resolution and eye/gesture tracking, and the spatial OS UI (also a lot of ideas for OS improvements). My Oculus will be forgotten 🙈 Vission Pro is not perfect, but seems to have a great potential to ignite the VR scene and push the market to another level. A week in now, and I have a similar feeling like with the 1st generation iPhone - feels like the first milestone of a major switch of the way people will consume information (the timing is right also due to risebof AI scene / I strongly believe that getting rid of keyboards and trackpads is the key of wider adaptation of VR devices. AI shows promise to provide a new way for interacting with OS). As an app developer I can also see parallels between initial mobile apps and trends in current 1st generation spatial OS apps - many apps seem to be failing to ajust for the spatial context and are just mimmicking either desktop or mobile UI principles. (same as many apps were copies of mobile web back in 2008-2012). But it’s about to change, once developer teams will pick up this media. As an app developer i see a very huge potential.

As a week-long "veteran" of the AVP, I'd like to mention one thing about comfort. The biggest mistake I see everyone making is evaluating the comfort level after 5 minutes, or even 1 day, of use. It is very tricky to adjust the AVP for maximum comfort. The over-the-head strap makes it easier to be a bit more sloppy in your adjustment, without making you pay the price in level of discomfort. The Solo band can be just as comfortable, but it takes a lot of experimentation. Most people position the back of the Solo band too low, causing the AVP to put more pressure on the lower parts of your face & nose. I've found the best positioning to be with the band pretty high up on the back of one's head. Just 1/4 inch difference, in either direction, can make a huge difference in comfort. Also, because the ratcheting adjustment knob works really well, many people tend to over tighten it causing huge amounts of pressure on the face. The tightness is almost infinitely adjustable in both directions in really tiny increments. I find that I can loosen it quite a bit without the AVP moving around. So, as you change the angle of the strap, you will feel the AVP pressure shifting. You want the pressure to be equal on all sides of the AVP. Then loosen the strap until you feel like it's almost too loose, then make very fine adjustments from there. In long sessions, like watching a movie, you may find that you have to start tweaking it again, maybe after an hour. I assume that's because the shapes of our faces change a little bit over time, especially when we have a weight strapped to them. It's taken me more than a week to get good at adjusting the Solo band for comfort. I use it because it's so much more convenient than the loop band. It should not be this difficult to get a comfortable fit and that's the one place where Apple needs to do a bit more research. I'm sure they can come up with a better band, perhaps an over-the-head style band that uses an adjustment feature as precise as the current adjustment knob in all directions. In the meantime, Apple could make some more detailed training about how to get a comfortable fit. They provided so much other training for this device and I hate to think how many people will return it because they never figured out how to make it comfortable.

To be honest I feel bad for how many people got tricked into buying this thing expecting it to be something amazing and useful especially considering this thing is 3.5k. To be fair, some enthusiast might really start using that thing instead of their TV or iPad but not the average mainstream audience that was targeted by this marketing.

It's not a VR headset it's an AR headset. While what you say may be true about VR headsets, where the focus was pretty much on gaming and pushing some sort of Second Life also run no one asked for, this thing looks like it's been designed as a productivity device first and maybe a media consumption device second. The idea being that you can set up unlimited numders of screens around your work area, sure you could argue that monitors and TVs are pretty cheap now but the thing is that it's pretty hard to lung a 75'' screen onto an airplane if you what to catch up on your shows. And while this thing can do VR as well, that seems to be more of a value add. With any professional device people will spend money on it if it makes them slightly more productive because any sunk cost they put into the device will be more than offset by the amount of money they could potentially make from the device. You only have to look at photography as an example where professionals will drop thousands on lens and equipment because they know they'll probably make all that back over the course of a few jobs. That and as a tax write off.

You did not waste your money. You wanted it and you have a UKposts channel. You said you’ve not watched any reviews or videos about the Vision Pro. I’m in the UK and have watched loads. The vast majority clearly love it for many reasons. Sure, it’s not perfect but there will be many OS updates and much more content to come. This first version will be around for some time. As for the weight, it seems to affect some people more than others. Many have said they went to Apple to get a proper fit and it went from being very uncomfortable to very comfortable. Might be worth doing that when it’s launched in the UK. I mainly want one for 3D movies and the rest is a bonus. Much of the talk of people returning it are those who were never going to keep it. They obtained one to review it and have another clickbait video when they return it. Very much looking forward to the UK launch.

What can be done with it that can't more effectively, more practically and more efficiently be done with other devices that have a longer battery charge? If there are ways in which it is better than what we already have, are the improvements worth the cost? In the few reviews I've seen, I haven't yet seen a reason to have one. It reminds me of foldable phone displays: the advance in technology is good to see, but it doesn't offer a practical advantage over what there already is, and it is only a step along the way to something worthwhile to most people. It might appeal to those who are easily seduced by gimmicks and novelty, and have $3.5k to spare, but I can't see what practical benefits it offers over other devices already owned by most people who would buy one.

It's up to you if you get something out of that, I don't know what your youtube turnaround is (and it's really none of my business), but in all honesty, it's just another unboxing - same experience as 1000 other reviewers by now. I sincerely hope you get something nice out of in the end.

Oh heads up don’t try and clean the front glass/plastic or the actual eye pieces with anything other than the provided cloth or another purpose made delicate display cloth. Any paper towels, kitchen towel, t shirt material will irreversibly scratch and damage the displays!. That was warned by the big guy who does tear down videos the one who caused the who hate about the 15pro back glass breaking!. So yea be super careful.

Have you wasted your money? Only if the number of videos you make with it doesn’t net £3800 - plus the time it costs to make them. Also factor in what you’ll make from it should you sell it. I look forward to seeing where the tech goes but it’s not something that hugely interests me. It definitely doesn’t solve any tech problems I currently have.

Like mark says often too me I may be over thinking this, which I agree with I do overthink things so he’s right. I like mark and he’s/your channel so my comments are never meant to be combative or horrible etc, hopefully that always shows. In regards to the Vision Pro, I think no not in terms of your UKposts channel, the content you can make with it etc. that’s absolutely not a waste of money. What is is if it develops a fault or a problem because I’m pretty much absolutely certain the warranty will be immediately voided, so it’s a massive risk paying somewhere near what £4,000 on an item not available in the U.K. and that apple won’t service, support or even touch because it’s not supported/or sold in the u.k!. I suspect even if you took out apple care on it, they apple wouldn’t honour it because I’m sure how you’ve gone about purchasing it breaks their tos!. So it’s great but a huge risk, well if you can’t write it off as a business expensive if the thing goes faulty!.

VR/AR won't take off in any meaningful way outside of niche nerd circles unless someone sells a good product at a loss to break it into the mainstream market. This product may be decent, but only tech reviewers and moderately wealthy Apple fanboys are going to buy it. People have been saying "it will get better and cheaper in the future!" But that's what we've been hearing about VR headsets for ten bloody years already! There's also the quite substantial issue that it doesn't really offer anything. It doesn't make any tasks more convenient or novel enough to be worth using. For all the nonsense apps allow you to do on a smartphone, a smartphone still serves fundamentally useful functions such as allowing you to instantly communicate with people, using GPS navigation, doing things that actually make life easier to manage. A VR headset on the other hand, is 100% novelty. There aren't even any good hypothetical uses for it. People didn't even want to wear glasses for 3D TV's, nobody is going to wear a half-kilo headset every time they want to watch something.
@MarkEllisReviews 2 місяці тому
Have you tried Vision Pro? I’d recommend grabbing one to glimpse at what Apple thinks we’ll be doing next. In my opinion, the issue isn’t the price. That’s driven by the hardware required; it’s the size and abnormality of the hardware that is the issue. As that changes, they’re onto something.

Eh- i think you might have been better off watching the US reviews and then deciding if it’s worth 3500 quid - based on the number of returns and bad reviews - seems a meta quest can do pretty much any of the functionality - for 500 quid - there’s just no way Steve Jobs would have pushed this into market without massive improvements - weight - 2 hours battery and limited apps are the most common issues by overwhelming number of reviews - even fanboys are admitting - apple may have a flop on their hands - so i think you may have wanted your money if I’m honest

I dont think many of the youtubers that bought this headset had any intentions of keeping it, all theyve done is review it, get paid for the views and then sent it back. You must be mental to have had that shipped over. Can you send it back? Before you think im some youtube troll, im not! im subscribed to your channel and you're my favourite reviewer on youtube but ive got to say that spending this amount of cash on this headset is a bit crazy. People seem to be losing interest in it already.

Appreciate the kind words! There’s a lot more to this, mate. It’s a business asset, and an investment in content. Everyone has their own content strategy, so I can’t comment on what others are doing, but I’m in this for the long run. It’s Apple’s punt on the next generation of computing and I’m fascinated to see what happens. Vision Pro is one step along that journey.

I think we’re at the stage we can do all these fun things with technology, and we make the gadgets just because we can. But are they all really useful or necessary? Not really, but of course all this recreation uses a lot of precious resources which we turn a blind eye to in the developed world. Consumerism and capitalism is already destroying the planet and I think we need to consider if these gadgets are worth the cost
