The most recent and notable case for many users was that of the PlayStation 5, a console that launched in 2020 but only launched in late 2021 when there was enough stock to not having to buy from resellers who carried all the little stock. which arrived in stores.
A very similar case happened the same year with graphics cards, and for now it seems that it is still common practice, although this time it is different. The latest tech product you’re looking at inflated its price on the reseller market are the Apple Vision, Apple’s augmented reality glasses already available on the market starting at $3,499.
Up to $10,000 for Vision Pro
The Apple Vision case is different from usual cases for several reasons. The first is that it is a very expensive product compared to the rest of the augmented reality devices currently available on the market, so currently there is no stock problem and there are no probably won’t have in the future.
Furthermore, it is a first generation, so the number of problems that usually present in the first generation of any product will be resolved in subsequent versions. When we are going to buy this product we must keep in mind that it is a personalized product for each user, it is not like an iPhone that everyone can use.
Apple Vision requires a scan of our face use the iPhone or iPad with Face ID to know its size and shape in order to use the type of strap and the size of the light protector that fits perfectly so that it is well attached to our head and prevents light from entering inside which harms the user experience.
To this, it must be added that the Apple Vision They are only available in the United Statesthis is the only compelling reason why resellers may have to buy these glasses and try to resell them at a much higher price.
This in turn poses a problem for users who outside the United States let them buy them. Although it is true that the Apple warranty is international, since it is not available outside the United States, if we have a problem with the glasses we will not be able to go to the nearest Apple Store from us to solve the problem or even to repair them without stopping work, since the staff available in store and in technical service have not yet received the necessary training to sell and repair the Apple Vision.
Considering all these reasons, it is highly likely that most resellers will end up using the 14-day trial period offered by Apple and that these will end up returning to Apple warehouses, provided they are in perfect condition and have not been signed by Tim. Cook. The seller of the Apple Vision with the signature of Tim Cook asks $28,000 On ebay.
