When you splurge on the latest tech, like the Apple Vision Pro headset, it’s not just about the initial price tag. Owners are quickly finding out that caring for their high-tech gear can come with a hefty cost. If you happen to drop your headset and the glass cracks, you’re looking at a repair bill of $799. But, if you’ve invested in AppleCare+, that cost drops to $299.
AppleCare+ seems like a necessity for a device like this, and Apple knows this
Damage beyond the glass? Apple‘s repair estimate climbs to a whopping $2,399. Again, AppleCare+ subscribers are in luck, paying the same $299. Seems like AppleCare+ might be a wise choice for the accident-prone or just the cautious, as it also covers battery replacements when the battery dips below 80% of its original charge.
Speaking of AppleCare+, snagging this extra protection for your Vision Pro will run you $499. This package is akin to what you’d get for a high-end Mac, and it offers unlimited repairs for accidental damage, plus round-the-clock access to Apple experts.
But before you need any repairs, the initial cost of the Vision Pro, with all the bells and whistles, reaches nearly $4,800. That’s a lot of dough for a headset, even one as advanced as this. It starts at $3,499, and upgrades like 1TB of storage, prescription lenses, and a battery clip all add to the total.
So, if you’re thinking about joining the Vision Pro club, consider the full financial picture. Accidents happen, and the costs can stack up almost as fast as the features on this high-tech headgear.
