It would be bad manners to have a reception section on an unreleased product, but several reliable outlets have tried it on, so I suggest we add a paragraph if someone's willing to write it. We should make it clear these are pre-release demos though.
Is there policy stating that there can't be a reception section on products that haven't gone to market yet? There is significant coverage of the announcement and it seems encyclopedic to include the reception from technologists and reviewers. Kcmastrpc (talk) 15:33, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not that I'm aware of but it'd look a little silly and expose us to "fancruft" criticism. And these people only tried a pre-release version, so there'd be a due weight/WP:MINORASPECT issue with treating that as anything more than initial impressions. DFlhb (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a new product line, and I think we've had pre-release reception on devices before. Commentary on how Apple isn't positioning it is also relevant to the storyline. ViperSnake151 Talk 16:20, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Intro says the headset is a mixed reality headset, the infobox says it's an extended reality headset. I know extended reality is an umbrella term but might be confusing to readers. While MR already incorporates both VR and AR, extended reality is basically the same as MR, but might be more referring to the VR/AR/MR market as a whole and future technologies.

Apple itself does not refer to it as a mixed or extended reality headset and classifies it as a spatial computer. In my opinion, it is better to leave a note about this. Parham wiki (talk) 22:54, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know whether to call it MR or XR, but right now we call it an "AR headset", and we shouldn't. It does virtual reality too. DFlhb (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article states that the most recent new product line that Apple ventured into was with the Apple Watch, but should the newest be the homepod, as it came out in 2018 (3 years after the Apple Watch)? Snazzydude1234 (talk) 02:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The HomePod is a minor product. Apple fans would call it "a hobby" for Apple, which is what Steve Jobs called the Apple TV in the late 2000s. Reliable sources agree[1][2][3] that it makes more sense to only compare it to the Apple Watch as the last major product. DFlhb (talk) 07:51, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, AirTags are the newest product line from Apple, but as DFlhb has stated, the Apple Watch is considered by sources as the latest "major" product line. Itsquietuptown ✉️📜12:12, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I know the official launch date is February 2 of this year, but technically, it's already out, since it can be pre-ordered. It's a technical wording issue, but I believe it shouldn't be termed as upcoming anymore. Ai777 (talk) 05:03, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i had a Vision Pro for a couple of days, so i decided to make a series of detailed pictures. I've added a couple to the article, maybe there are more that could be useful in this or other articles. They're all in the Commons category. Husky(talk page)12:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Reviews from buyers of Apple Vision Pro have been mixed. Some users on Reddit seemed very satisfied with the device and entranced with the concept of a spatial computer, and others lamented the small field of view or lack of common VR qualities."
"Some users on reddit." While I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, I don't think we should include a couple of random people's opinions on reddit on a Wikipedia page. Unless hundreds or thousands (or millions, etc) are voicing their opinions on something then we shouldn't include it. Even then we probably shouldn't.
I'm going to remove the bits relating to this, but feel free to revert it if you need to.
