"That's dystopian!": xQc was outraged by pricing of Apple Vision Pro VR headset at the 2023 WWDC

Popular Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" was reacting to the much-anticipated Apple WWDC on his most recent stream and was outraged by the price of the upcoming Vision Pro VR headset. The content creator was quite upfront about his feelings regarding the cost and clearly did not feel that the product, despite getting a lot of floor time at the event, was worth $3,499.

Like many tech enthusiasts around the world, Felix was watching the 2023 Apple WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference). The tech giant showed off its upcoming products, including the VR headset named Vision Pro, which is supposed to arrive sometime in early 2024 in the United States, while other countries will follow suit in the coming months.

With great hardware (and brand name) comes a hefty price tag, and the headset was announced to cost about three and a half thousand dollars. xQc clearly did not feel the cost was justified, insinuating that people at Apple were out of touch, and described the pricing as "dystopian."

"That's dystopian! These people live on another planet. Holy f*ck dude!"

"Holy sh*t dude!"
