It seems that for a user of Apple's new Vision Pro, forgotten passcode for the headset results in a tedious resetting procedure.
Don’t forget your Vision Pro passcode, it’s important | ENBLE
Owners of Apple’s new Vision Pro headset are in for a surprise—forgetting your passcode could result in a trip to the Apple retail store or a call to customer support. 😱 That’s right, there’s currently no other way to reset the device if you can’t remember the passcode or if a bug freezes it. 🤦♂️
The Passcode Predicament
The Bloomberg reporter, Mark Gurman, revealed that Apple users who forget their Vision Pro passcode will need to bring the device to an Apple retail store or mail it to AppleCare customer support. Apple will then erase and reset it for you. 🔄💻
This hurdle is just one of the early customer-service snags related to Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro headset, which started reaching customers on Friday. We can only hope that Apple will soon release a software update allowing users to perform a device reset at home, saving them the trouble of making a trip. 🚶♂️📦
In Contrast to the iPhone and Apple Watch
Users of other Apple devices, such as the iPhone and Apple Watch, have it relatively easy when it comes to resetting their passcodes. 📲💁♂️ On an iPhone, for example, you can reset the device by entering your Apple ID and password. But with the Vision Pro, if you enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, the device becomes disabled, and only Apple staff can reset it. 😬
The Vision Pro headset does not have a USB-C port for troubleshooting, so connecting it to a Mac isn’t an option. However, there is a special strap available for developers that allows linking the Vision Pro to a Mac, potentially solving the passcode problem. But at $300, it’s not meant for regular consumers. So, let’s hope for that software update sooner rather than later! ⌛️💻
Other Frustrations
In addition to the passcode predicament, some early Vision Pro owners have complained about discomfort after prolonged use. Wearing a VR headset for an extended period of time can certainly cause strain and discomfort, but worried not, solutions have already emerged. 👀💡 People are suggesting various solutions to ease the strain, providing potential relief for those experiencing discomfort.
