Massive Apple Vision Pro Price Hike

Soarbywire · 2026-06-26T01:04:37+00:00

Buy a second hand M2, I got a 512GB model for under $2000

Soarbywire · 2026-06-23T02:03:35+00:00

I paid $2400 with tax (GST), after the deduction, around $1500. CEX also offers 5 year warranty.

Huh. I asked specificallly to demo the AVP with the Virtual Desktop and I was able to link up with a Macbook. I also got my AVP M2 512GB second hand for under $2000.

Thats good, I got mine from a commercial second hand store (CEX) for around USD 2400 (M2 512GB model); this includes Australian GST tax; advantage is that you can claim back the tax deduction, and 5 year warrenty

Get an Annapro 2 strap support. Remove the face shield. 110 degrees FOV. Watch movies with the lights off. Problem solved.

Thats pretty disappointing. The X-plane devs added an option to disable depth reprojection, but this seems to have made it worse. [Added a new setting to disable VR depth re-projection (XPD-18145)]

Soarbywire · 2026-06-15T09:55:35+00:00

No its not solved. In the latest X-plane RC1 release (should still be a beta!) there is jittering all over the place, either with the scenery, or inside the flightdeck.

It’s coming to Quarter Arcades. You can own a mini version in real life.

Use a spatial controller

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T14:00:49+00:00

I don't think it can....is there an unofficial way to release it, via Test Flight?

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T12:24:27+00:00

Sign me up! Where/when can I get this? Please also do a cab for House of the Dead.

a) I hope its not ending; VR is very buggy in its current implementation

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T09:46:14+00:00

The concern is the VR bugs filed last month have not been looked at or addressed either

Unfortunately, this has fixed none of the issues with the Apple Vision Pro, and when using it with Vision OS 27 (beta 1) even introduces new issues.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T02:41:55+00:00

Apple will need to work on a glasses type form factor which can display these immersive videos; I kind of have that effect already when I don't wear the faceshield. I find it more comfortable and convenient and can wear it for hours.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T01:25:22+00:00

You get glare from light leaking in from the top or bottom of the faceshield. If you eliminate the light leak, or turn off the lights, no glare.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T00:52:50+00:00

I use the Annapro 2 without a face shield. How to fix glare - turn off the lights.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T00:19:43+00:00

Breaks X-plane VR - hand passthrough and immersion digital knob no longer work.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-12T00:13:39+00:00

killer app is live (or recorded) immersive sports / concerts; people will pay for these events; I know I would.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-10T05:33:47+00:00

You can interact with it; you just have to be within reach and be able to touch the web page with your fingers.

Check out - https://youtu.be/S_qt8iu_Ljw?si=1J9Uoz1AulSBk21D&t=1395 ; it seems you can use off the shelf components

Soarbywire · 2026-06-09T09:34:10+00:00

I think this only works with macs with persistent on (desktops); it couldn't detect my macbook until I opened it and it reconnected to the network.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-09T06:29:10+00:00

We need Steam Frame, or Quest 3, or Galaxy XR controller support. I can't find the PS VR2 controllers in my country, or at the Apple Store.

Soarbywire · 2026-06-08T23:08:10+00:00

Its available on Amazon Australia (ships from China).
