Apple Vision Pro’s $3500 Price Tag Sparks Meme Fest

Apple's unveiling of the Vision Pro headset has created buzz and laughter, with its innovative features and hefty price tag becoming the centre of attention.

Apple's grand reveal of the Vision Pro headset has created waves across the digital world. Unveiled on June 6, 2023, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the tech giant introduced their latest device as a seamless blend of virtual and actual reality, promising to revolutionize the user experience.

Designed with VisionOS, Apple's specially crafted operating system for spatial computing, the Vision Pro intends to deliver immersive experiences like working, socialising, and movie-watching all within the headset. Scheduled to hit the market in 2024, the Vision Pro is a mixed-reality headset that is pegged to redefine the realms of tech interaction.

While the revolutionary headset has stirred much intrigue and excitement, it is the device's price tag that has become a focal point of chatter. Priced at a hefty $3500, the announcement has sparked a meme fest on Twitter, turning the device into a rich source of comic relief.

Indeed, Twitter users have been expressing their sticker shock with humorous and ingenious memes. The hashtag "For $3500" has been trending, as users joke about potential alternatives for that price, including buying a car or getting into a virtual fistfight.

Here are some of the memes doing the rounds on social media:
