The much-hyped Apple Vision Pro launched on Feb. 2 to the type of fanfare and bizarre cultish celebrations we’d expect from an Apple product. Despite costing a whopping $3,499 (and also reportedly causing some users neck and back pain), it hasn’t stopped customers from purchasing roughly 200,000 headsets since pre-orders opened.
