The first Apple helmets appeared in Moscow on the day global sales began. Those who really wanted them got them or are about to get them. The issue of price at this stage is discussed pointlessly, its identification of obvious reasons.
Instead, whoever just wants to achieve one point that not everyone can understand, really wants to pay 500 thousand rubles for Vision Pro here and now, without leaving the Russian Federation. The moment is critical and the opportunity to completely block the ability not only to comfortably use the Vision Pro, but also to use the helmet in any way for more than a few minutes.
The point is the fit, or more precisely, the way the process of buying a helmet is structured abroad, in the USA. It was not for nothing that Apple paid great attention to this and attracted unprecedented organizational structures.
Why is it so important to try on a helmet before purchasing?
During the process of placing an order for Apple Vision Pro, the buyer Download a special mini-application – Measure and install. It requires an iPhone model with Face ID. By the way, to use the program, you must use an American App Store account on your iPhone.
The Measure and Fit widget calculates two things through the camera and the captured data:
1. Band sizeholding a helmet on his head. There are two of them: Solo Knitted Group And Double loop. The set always includes both, but in the same size: WITH, M or l.
2. Size Lightweight sealing pad – a removable “pillow” that adjusts the distance between the helmet lenses and the head. The set includes two: a regular one and a larger version (indicated by “+”), and there are 4 types in total: N, H+, W, W+.
If everything is clear and more or less understandable with the first point, then taking into account the second time, when buying a helmet with hands or on a gray background, problems may arise.
As reviews from the first customers have already appeared, only one combination of accessories is suitable for absolutely most people, and versions “neighboring” in size are no longer suitable.
Why is this so important? The accuracy of the straps and pads is now officially set, and you can now use the Vision Pro comfortably. If the helmet doesn’t fit well enough, more light will enter the helmet from outside, which will greatly encourage immersion. If the helmet fits too tightly, it will put pressure on your face and cause discomfort.
That’s not all. The first owner has already said that the size of the light sealing pad directly affects the impact zone of objects in the helmet, the size fields, a look at (private complaint) the strength of the motion blur effect and how soon you will stop using the device. Most of them write that selection through an online application and scanning with an iPhone give the wrong result.
Some of the users have already managed to go to the Apple Store to replace accessories with other sizes, after which, with the help of convenient use, the helmet could be changed several times. You can change the pillow or straps for free by visiting the company’s official store in person. You can also order other sizes online: $29 for a lightweight pad and $99 for each type of strap in a specific size.
That’s why the company has set up demo areas for pre-fitting of the helmet and opened registration for this bathtub in most US stores. No matter how convenient the method of “adjusting” a size through an app may be, nothing replaces a live fitting.
In Russia you can’t try on an Apple helmet yet hand that’s bad
Based on the principles that everyone needs their Lightweight sealing pad and holders, that is, we have several levels of helmet configuration, of which only one will truly suit you.
Even if you get confused and use the “Measure and Adjust to Size” app from Russia, you already know that this cannot be considered a panacea. Without personal preliminary examples, you can only use successful online sizing, and even then, judging by the reviews, sometimes it looks unsuccessful.
As a result, having paid more than 400 thousand rubles for a helmet today, you may find yourself in a situation where using it is extremely inconvenient and unpleasant for you personally. And all because of some “pads” and straps, which cannot yet be freely obtained in Russia without purchasing another Vision Pro kit.
Therefore, no matter how significant the desire to be the first to try out a completely new Apple product, I recommended until the fervor of the first buyers wears off, and also until the Light Seal Cushion and straps in other sizes become available, which can also be tried on in advance. . I am sure that third-party manufacturers are now churning out alternatives with all their might, but so far all this has not reached us.
Without the opportunity to personally try on a helmet and choose the most suitable size, purchasing an Apple Vision Pro costs neither 300, nor 400, nor 600 thousand rubles. Take your time and take your time to always succeed.
PS And I don’t yet consider the point about wearers of glasses or contact lenses. There is a separate story that requires even more precise adjustment.
