Apple wants as much as 14,000 for its new, unusual gadget. PLN net. But it doesn’t end there

Presented at the WWDC 2023 conference, Apple Vision Pro are mixed reality (MR) goggles. Vision Pro projects the interface and images onto the real space around us, and the goggles are controlled here using eye movements, hand gestures and voice commands. Of course, the American giant did not reinvent the wheel (goggles of this type have appeared before), but it worked hard to provide us with a piece of extraordinary technology. Unfortunately, he also wants an extremely large amount of money for it.

Apple Vision Pro cost a fortune. Or even more

To say that the official price of the new goggles knocks you off your feet is to say nothing. The device will go to stores early next year and will cost $ 3,499, which at the current exchange rate means almost 14.5 thousand. zloty. Adding Polish VAT (if you can buy equipment from us at all), you can expect an amount of nearly PLN 19,000. zlotys. It is for this reason that this time Apple fans are unlikely to line up for another novelty from overseas. The more that for some people the expense will be even greater. The goggles are adapted for people without visual impairment and are not suitable for use with prescription glasses.

Of course, Apple has found a solution to this problem. Those willing will be able (or rather have to) opt for a version with corrective lenses, which will be made for the American giant by the renowned German company Zeiss. As reported by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, such pleasure will cost a fortune. According to the journalist, the price of each pair of Apple Vision Pro will increase by an additional $300 to $600, which translates into an amount of PLN 1,240 to PLN 2,480. In the worst case, you will have to spend up to 21-22 thousand on goggles. zloty. Definitely a lot. Well, unless Apple decides to take at least part of these costs on itself, but such a possibility seems very unlikely.
