Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro released in the US, the first one is already smashed

Today, Apple released the Vision Pro to consumers in the US. After a week of reviews from journalists and influencers, the general public in the US is now getting hands-on with Apple’s newest product, the Vision Pro.

There are lots of posts on social media of new customers collecting the Vision Pro at Apple’s Retail Stores, while others are taking delivery to the door.

Unfortunately, the first Vision Pro headset has been smashed.

X user @iupdate posted an image of himself collecting the first Vision Pro in Los Angeles. Just 4 hours later, he followed up that post with a photo of the front display smashed with the words ‘I’m sorry’.

Noah is the host of AppleTrack, a YouTube channel with 429,000 subscribers and regularly does drop tests. Unfortunately, the Vision Pro did not survive, expect a video soon.

It’s disappointing to see expensive technology damaged, particularly given it’s fairly obvious to most people that glass will not fair well when dropped on hard surfaces.
