I don't own one, but this is a common complaint I've heard. I guess the trick is not to wear one 24/7 and take sporadic breaks. Just like we do with phones or desktop PCs. The dream of the AR/VR maxis is to have us all plugged in 24/7 but there's caveats to that.

During the Christmas break I was playing through Asgard's Wrath 2 (still not done) and there were a few days that I played for five hours, not in one session, but in several sessions. That's with the Meta Quest 3 with the Elite Strap, I don't think I could have stood to play that long with the strap that came with the MQ3.

I definitely made a plan to acclimatize myself to VR, starting out with short sessions and moving to longer sessions and also picking up a range of software to use in it so that I could keep in the habit. Now that I am developing my own "worlds" for it using A-Frame I have a lot of insight into how different user interfaces work.

I’m not even sure what experiences would be improved by wearing one aside from movies, video calls, and maybe games. Is browsing the web really a more enriched experienced with the current controls available? Maybe the aforementioned activities are enough.

Having purchased a Vision Pro does not make you an "Apple fan". The headline makes it sound like Apple fanboys are forsaking their allegiances because of how bad the Vision Pro is, which is not what the article says.
