Apple’s New $99 Strap Makes Wearing the Vision Pro More Bearable

When Apple Inc. released the Vision Pro last year, the headset had three main drawbacks: a $3,499 starting price, an uncomfortable design and a limited selection of content.

With the debut of a new version with an M5 chip this month, Apple hasn’t lowered the price or added much additional content. But it has addressed the comfort issue — without changing the hardware itself — thanks to a new head strap called the Dual Knit Band.
