it became Vision Pro Now available in the market for all users in America. Of course, many will try spatial computing and the wonderful features and many applications with the glasses. But we would like to say to everyone who bought the Apple Vision Pro, do not try to lose the glasses, and do not use them in public places, so that they are not stolen from you. If that happens, you will regret it very much. Because this means that you have just lost $3500, and you will not be able to recover this amount forever, unlike other Apple devices, which still have hope of recovering them even if they are stolen.
Apple Vision Pro glasses
In a new support document published by Apple, the company confirmed that the location of its Vision Pro glasses cannot be viewed in the Find My app or even on iCloud.com. Therefore, you will not be able to search for or locate the Vision Pro when it is stolen, nor will you be able to play sound so that it knows where it is when you are nearby. In addition, Apple does not currently offer a warranty plan (Apple Care Plus) for its latest products in cases such as theft and loss.
What is most surprising is that among the features offered by the Find My service, it supports Apple Glass VisionPro Activation Lock only, which prevents anyone other than you from using your iPhone or iPad if it is stolen or lost. So, when your Apple Vision Pro is stolen, or lost, you'll be able to turn on Activation Lock, which will ensure that a thief can't erase or reactivate your glasses unless they know your Apple ID password or passcode.
According to Apple, “When Find My is turned on, you protect your Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset with Activation Lock. But you can't use another Apple device or the web to locate the glasses on a map. You will also not be able to play a sound to help find it, activate lost mode, or even erase it remotely.
How to protect Vision Pro glasses?
So far there's no clear reason why the Vision Pro doesn't support Find My, but it may be because it lacks a built-in battery and GPS. Therefore, one of the proposed solutions is to protect the Apple Vision Pro glasses from theft or loss, until the company fixes this problem in the future. It is the purchase of one of the accessories announced by Apple Vision Pro Travel Bag, Which is priced at $199. Plus, purchase a $29 AirTag tracking device to put in your bag to help you locate the $3500 glasses.
Finally, while many people will use the Vision Pro at home primarily as an entertainment device. This will significantly reduce the risk of them being stolen, but Apple is already promoting the use of its glasses on the plane and other places away from home. Some have already begun to roam the streets and metro stations, wearing the Apple Vision Pro. Therefore, there will be thefts, as thieves will focus in the coming period on stealing Vision Pro in public places due to its high price.

This is a policy of not making the product perfect from the first release, and this is a policy that has become annoying from Apple. The argument that the battery is not built-in is not convincing. It was possible to integrate AirTag technology into it because adding $25 to $3,500 is not a dangerous increase in its marketing, but expect that Apple will retain this feature. For the next models!!! This does not mean that it is a new technology and its use is enjoyable for everyone.
Hi Tariq 🙋♂️, I completely understand what you are saying. Maybe the technology required to embed AirTag into the Glasses isn't ready yet, or maybe Apple wants to keep the price of the Glasses as low as possible (well, as much as possible for Apple 😅). But yes, we will likely see this feature in upcoming models. Things always get better with time... like cheese 🧀 and wine 🍷! 😉
The least it can do is correct vision
It is unacceptable to wear glasses of this value or even one with a simple advantage
Hi Sammy 🙋♂️, I totally understand what you are saying. Unfortunately, the glasses do not come with a vision correction feature. But this company is always full of surprises, we may see this feature in upcoming releases. Until then, you may have to use your prescription glasses under the Apple Vision Pro. 😄👓🍏
You can ask Apple to add your medical vision measurements to be added by Zeiss Lens Company for an additional amount
Hi Walid 🙋♂️, This will definitely be a great feature and very useful for a lot of people. However, so far there is no confirmation from Apple or Zeiss regarding the addition of medical optometry. We are always waiting for more updates and innovations from Apple! 🍏👀
Is it reasonable that it does not have an Ultra Broadband chip, which is the U1? Even if it does not have it, it is supposed to have a location system like the iPad devices, and the iPad does not have this technology or GPS, and it supports location determination using the technology of identifying the lost device from the Apple devices close to it, and this feature existed before the U1 existed. The only difference between them is in the accuracy!
Or in my opinion, Apple is working to add this feature later, as it did with wireless headphones in the first generations, when third-party applications adopted the idea of emitting sound from lost headphones. Then Apple came and provided the ability to emit sound and determine the location!
Hello MuhammadJassem, 🙋♂️
I agree with you completely! It is not surprising that Apple added this feature later, as it is known for constantly improving its products. 🔄🍎 But until that moment, everyone who uses Vision Pro must be extremely careful to avoid losing their glasses worth up to $3500. 💸😱 However, this does not compensate for the absence of the tracking feature, which should have been present, especially in a product of this value.
Thanks for participating in the discussion! 😊👍
Thank you for providing valuable information about these glasses, but I will protect them by not purchasing them
Welcome, O God’s servant, Faraj! 😄 There's nothing like being careful and careful about storing our stuff, especially when it comes to a technological gem like Apple Vision Pro. Thank you for your participation and I wish you a day full of smiles and optimism! 🍏🌞
It is extremely stupid. The device costs $3,500 and there is nothing in it that indicates its location. The AirTag, despite its very small size and low price, can be tracked. Couldn’t Apple, with all its capabilities, integrate a chip similar to the AirTag into the glasses?!
Hi Walid 🙋♂️, I think you hit the right chord here! In fact, it seems that Apple was so busy refining the augmented reality experience in its glasses that it forgot to add the tracking feature. But don't worry, things in the world of technology are changing at lightning speed ⚡️. who knows? Apple may add this feature in the next version of Vision Pro, and we will be able to track our glasses as we do with AirTags. Until then, I'll be keeping my glasses alongside my AirPods Pro and iPhone in a safe place! 😅
In fact, they can be used as vision correction glasses
Abu Ahmed Moataz, the glasses are designed primarily to provide an augmented reality experience and are not a substitute for reading or correction glasses. 🍏👓 Therefore, Apple Vision Pro cannot be used as vision correction glasses.
Can it be used as eyeglasses?
You can ask Apple to add your medical vision measurements to be added by Zeiss Lens Company for an additional amount
Frankly, I no longer understand anything after experimenting with more than one device, whether it was a laptop, phone, or any other device. It became clear to me that the campaigns that distort devices are incorrect. An example of this is the iPhone 6. It was said that it is not durable, and until now it blinds the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It has been said that it has problems. A lot and I did not find anything, and even the Canon R5 I heard a lot and now no one is suffering. It seems that I am almost convinced that I should buy the device that commercial content makers are screaming about. Did you know the iPad 10, Wi-Fi version? I do not know how you can determine its location while it is moving in a car without the Internet and its location is updated every two minutes. This is almost what happened to me and I discovered it by chance. It seems that the iPad searched for a data source via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and sent its location because the bus driver does not have internet and the device only has Wi-Fi, but he was sending its location to me until I got close to home when I forgot it on the bus. Yes, and I remember that I heard that the platform... Twitter allows people to write a tweet and it will be sent from one device to another until it reaches a device connected to the Internet. Did Apple use this method? Can you know the method because the device does not have a data chip?
Hello Arkan! 😊 Sure, the devices we use are not fallible, but more often than not, they remain our little heroes in our technological lives. In the case of the iPad, it may have taken advantage of available Wi-Fi networks to send location data. 🌐📍 But of course, these are just guesses and I can't confirm that. As for Twitter, I have not heard about this feature before. 😅 But as you know, in the world of technology, anything is possible! 🚀📲
Thank you for the very important warning. I intended to buy it after this article. I canceled the idea. Wait for version 2.
