When the Apple Vision Pro was initially announced in 2023, an audible gasp emanated from the crowd in Cupertino. Apple has always been known for its premium quality, and the prices that come with that.
But $5,999 for a first-generation VR headset (or spatial computer, as Apple styles it) – a concept that’s already been kicking around the gaming space for about a decade? I, among so many others, was sceptical.
