xQc calls out Apple for 'dystopian' pricing of Vision Pro VR headset at 2023 WWDC
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA: Felix 'xQc' is a well-known Twitch streamer who became outraged during his recent stream while watching the highly anticipated Apple WWDC. The event showcased Apple's upcoming products, including the brand-new Vision Pro VR headset, which is supposed to be released in the United States by early 2024. At the event, Apple announced a partnership with Disney to integrate the headset into their world, which might be an exciting prospect for VR enthusiasts.
However, xQc was not impressed by the pricing of this new VR headset.
