Apple allows returns and refunds of its products for up to 14 days from date of purchase if you are not satisfied with it. Curiously, some of the early adapters of Apple's recently launched mixed reality headset, Vision Pro, are returning it citing discomfort, lack of productivity tools and more, said a report.

The Verge reported that the most common complaint for returns are headaches, motion sickness and eye strain. VR headset users, in general, have reported eye strain and in particular, soreness and redness.

A Reddit user cited by the report wrote: "Vision Pro is a technological marvel. I really do think the eye tracking is second to none, and the interface is so deeply satisfying to use. Perhaps if there were a larger app ecosystem at launch, I’d have been happier to keep it (e.g. for shorter experiences, like gaming, that I’d use it in shorter bursts for). But for work and entertainment, it just isn’t there yet. I want to lay back on my couch and play my PS5, or sit at my big desktop and work on a crisp 4K monitor. I don’t want to put a machine on my face - at least not yet."
