Apple recently announced its remarkably expensive VR headset, and the internet reacted in typical fashion. Many users flooded Twitter and TikTok with humorous and clever Apple Vision Pro memes, making the exorbitantly priced gadget a source of entertainment for individuals worldwide. Memes have transformed how people express themselves online, and although some people choose to write detailed comments, sharing images and videos that represent their views is often much more witty and comical. Observing memes can, therefore, provide an accurate insight into people’s overall opinions and reactions. This article will showcase some of the funniest posts on Twitter and TikTok, highlighting the general themes that run through them.
One common theme is the absurd price of the Apple headset, which costs a staggering $3,500. As a result, most of the memes revolved around mocking its incredible expense. One Twitter user, Jennifer Opal, edited a social media clip, adding the caption “The reaction to the price of the Apple Vision Pro, though!” Another user, scubaryan, shared a clip of a man lifting weights, indicating that his bank account was empty after purchasing the device. Dennis N shared a comic strip that showed a man crying after checking his balance in the VR headset.
Other memes focused on the gadget’s controversial design, with many criticising it for being cumbersome and impractical. Twitter user Jack Forge shared a humorous meme of a man wearing VR goggles while sipping coffee outside a café. Similarly, Block Jokes created a comical version of the Vision Pro announcement by showcasing goggles with apples in the lenses.
Some Apple Vision Pro memes joked about the device’s potential to turn the world into a dystopian future as depicted in the sci-fi novel “Ready Player One.” Wade Westt, for example, commented, “Ready Player One for $3,500,” while Twitter user sova retweeted a Wired report, adding, “When something like that got invented in that universe, society became a dystopia.”
Memes are often the go-to response for internet users, offering a unique glimpse into people’s opinions and reactions. Most people made fun of the Vision Pro’s cost because there are many cheaper alternatives on the market that offer similar features. Additionally, some memes raise concerns that the gadget might bring about a negative future, as seen in the book “Ready Player One.” However, only time will tell how this device shapes the future of virtual reality.
