apple vision pro

Apple has broken the internet again, and this time, it’s not because they teased the 78th iPhone upgrade. They unveiled Vision Pro; an augmented reality 3D headset that’s bound to put people’s bank accounts on life support when it eventually hits the market.

But what if Apple launches it in Nigeria first? Here’s what we think will happen.

Fresh material for our parents’ WhatsApp BCs

The moment it hits the market, you’ll start seeing BCs about how augmented reality is actually affecting your brain. Our parents never even let us sit too close to the TV, you now want to put it right “inside” your eyes? It won’t work.

And the Nigerian police

If every iPhone user is a potential yahoo boy in the eyes of the Nigerian police, it means someone who can afford a ₦2.6 million+ headset is a ritual killer. In summary, prepare to be stopped by police if you wear it out.

People will start making TikToks with it

Your faves would start pushing “unbox my new Apple Vision Pro with me” and “test my new headset” content down our throats. Where una dey see this money?

Baddies will turn it into a fashion statement

You know how iPhone users constantly try to choke us with mirror selfies? It’d be nothing compared to what rich kids and baddies will use our eyes to see when they lay hands on this headset—going to buy bread? Vision Pro. Going to braid hair? Vision Pro.

Users will start adorning it with chains and padlocks

People already steal airpods and snatch wigs. Is it this one they won’t steal? To avoid stories of, “They snatched my Vision Pro in Balogun Market”, Nigerians would start securing theirs to their head with chains and padlocks.

The Nigerian version will hit the streets

It’s not piracy, it’s just creativity. Why spend ₦2.6 million+ on Vision Pro when you can get “Vison Por” with ₦30k?

It’ll turn to owambe souvenir

Because everyone knows there’s nothing Yoruba people won’t share in the name of owambe souvenir. If they can share fuel during fuel scarcity, what is Vision Pro?

People will eventually abandon it at home

Because where are we even going to see the light or fuel to even charge it?

Tim Cook and his company have done it again and set the internet on fire with their latest offering: Apple Vision Pro.

If you’re a Nigerian looking to do some major damage to your bank account, we’re here to help you justify your reason for splurging.

What’s the Apple Vision Pro?

Apple describes their latest piece of technology as a “spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world.” In essence, you get to interact with digital content—just like you see in movies— and you issue commands with your eyes, hands and voice.

The device itself is a headset that comes with strap-on gear, and a large sun-shade-like screen. Here are some things to note before buying one:

The price

If you’re Nigerian looking to cop one, you need to stack your coins. The Apple Vision Pro goes on sale in 2024 and its starting price is $3,499. That’s approximately ₦2.6 million and you might be incurring extra charges for shipping.

Great for glasses wearers

Apple has a reputation for building features around the everyday lifestyle of users. This was part of their thinking for the Vision Pro. Users with visual impairments will have the option to attach special optical inserts to the vision pro’s lenses. There’s the possibility that the optical inserts will come at an extra charge.

Can be controlled with eyes, hands and voice

Probably its coolest feature, the Vision Pro allows for an interactive control that lets you use your hands, eyes and voice to issue commands. You don’t have to worry about a controller as you can tap your hands to get it started or bring apps to life just by looking at them.

Plug it in or use a separate battery pack

Battery life is a major concern when it comes to Apple products but Apple addressed this on the Vision Pro. It comes with a small mobile battery pack that gives you a two-hour use time at full charge. You have the option to plug in when you’re home or have access to electricity.

Huge monitor for your Mac

Our Nigerian tech bros will definitely love this feature. With the Vision Pro headset, you can access a large virtual monitor while working on projects on your Macbook. To make it even better, you only need to look at your laptop for a 4K screen to hover above.

Allows for cinematic viewing

If you’re a solo movie lover, this is a feature that should get your groove on. The new Apple AR headset allows you an option of a 100-foot display which can hover right in front of you in your living room or wherever. It also comes with spatial audio for that complete cinematic experience. The downside to this is that you can’t have watch buddies.

Where and how to buy the Apple Vision Pro?

The announcement made everyone giddy, but the Apple Vision Pro headset is slated for release in early 2024. As with other Apple products, it will be available for purchase on the Apple website. It’ll be available in other countries late 2024.
