The energy surged further as the store's first Apple Vision Pro customer walked out with a headset box that must've set him back at least $3,499.

The hubbub over the first-generation headset likely stems from the fact that this is Apple's first new product in seven years.

According to CNN, about 200 people lined up ahead of the 8 a.m. store opening to either grab a $4,000 headset or demo the head-mounted display for themselves.

The Vision Pro, particularly with the likes of the $500 Quest 3 on the market, will be a tough sell. As mentioned, its price tag is a difficult pill to swallow. According to the New York Times, a maxed-out Vision Pro headset can set you back $4,600.
