Apple has finally taken the wraps off the Apple Vision Pro after years of speculations and leaks. Virtual Reality headsets have always been clunky and very 'Black Mirror'-ish and Apple's Vision Pro is no exception. Add to that, the $3,499 (roughly Rs 2.90 lakh) price tag and it has all the ingredients for a new 'iPhone-like' moment but also a meme-fest on Twitter. Here are some of the ones we loved:

Apple's Vision Pro is not on sale right now and it may be a while before it lands on Indian shores. However, when that happens, the pricing is expected to be much higher than even the US price tag.
The Apple Vision Pro does have all the ingredients of achieving an 'iPhone-like moment'. However, there will be a steeper learning curve for most users who are yet to try out their first VR headset. Apple has introduced an EyeSight feature to reduce the awkwardness of wearing the headset but it also gives the VR headset a goofy touch.
