Internet and the high price of Apple glasses

Of course, the price of $3499 is fertile material for bullying and lamenting on the Internet, and the Apple glasses did not escape the meme that appeared to describe the obvious, the Vision Pro glasses are not for the public…


Are the Vision Pro glasses the most expensive thing Apple has to offer?

It's considered Apple Glass VisionPro the beginning of a new era in spatial computing; Because it works to integrate the real world with the digital to allow you to communicate with others via FaceTime and interact with your beautiful memories and get a unique experience with your favorite games and even it will increase productivity at work, all this you can have when you buy Vision Pro at a price of $ 3499, This makes the glasses ranked third in the list of the most expensive Apple products, as it comes after the Pro Display XDR, which costs $ 4999, and the Mac Pro, which costs $ 6999. Here are the most important reasons that prompted Apple to present its new glasses at this exorbitant price.


spatial computing platform

Apple Vision Pro glasses are a stand-alone spatial computer where the glasses do not reflect the screen of the iPhone or Mac, but it works independently, and performs computing operations through its own M2 chip, and processes information all through its sensors using the R1 chip. It may say that the cheapest Mac device With the M2 chip, it is a 13-inch MacBook Air, and its price is $ 1099, and it works with one chip, unlike the Vision Pro, which works with two chips. However, the price of Apple glasses compared to the MacBook Air is supposed to be approximately $ 2000, so how is it possible that the price of the glasses is Excessively more expensive than a Mac.

. The short answer is that Apple has a long history and experience in manufacturing Mac devices, unlike Vision Pro, which is the first of its kind. This means that it has not yet been able to improve the supply chain and design, and even the operating system for glasses (VisionOS) is still new. Apple also used the infrastructure of systems Other operating systems such as macOS, iOS and iPadOS to create this system, all this has not yet helped Apple reduce manufacturing costs.


research and development

 Apple has pumped a lot of its resources into research and development in order to provide its glasses and its new operating system, this means billions of dollars over the past years on specialists, experts, supply chain, tests and more than 5000 patents, all of this has led to an increase in the cost of Vision Pro to the end consumer.


High quality ingredients

According to Apple, the Vision Pro is made of aircraft-grade alloys, the lens is a specially designed piece of glass enclosed in an aluminum alloy frame, and the headband is a durable 12D woven fabric that wraps comfortably on the head. These high-quality components you will not find in Competing glasses, which are mostly made of plastic, in addition to that, Vision Pro has XNUMX cameras, five sensors, and six microphones, all of which were manufactured in the same manner as those components in the iPhone.


innovative technologies

Through Vision Pro, Apple introduced many revolutionary features and innovative and anticipated technologies, and this includes a pair of micro-OLED screens with more than 23 million pixels for each eye. The glasses can also be used as a 4D camera to create XNUMXD videos and photos. You can also use Vision Pro as a screen. For a Mac with XNUMXK quality, in addition to that, the glasses are controlled through the eyes, hands, and voice, and for this Apple relied on high-quality sensors to track body movement, and this means paying exorbitant sums.

Finally, the Apple Vision Pro contains amazing features and advanced technologies, but you must bear in mind that Apple's mixed reality glasses are not designed specifically for the average user. The company issued a version less than the current one with a price close to the price of the iPhone or the Macbook so that users can buy it, everything that follows from the sales of the glasses when they become available at the beginning of next year.
