    Apple WWDC: Vision Pro announcement, stock reaction

    Apple officially announced its Vision Pro mixed reality headset at its annual WWDC event on Monday. Yahoo Finance spoke to experts across the industry regarding the announcement, the high $3,499 price tag, and Apple stock reaction. Yahoo Finance Live's Akiko Fujita provided her take on the Vision Pro headset price point. Fujita said, "We're talking about $3,500, and that's going to be the real test for Apple." Yahoo Finance tech editor Dan Howley attended the WWDC event and gave his opinion on consumer interest. Howley said, "As far as VR, AR goes overall, this seems to be the one that's going to get people the most interested." Eric Abbruzzese, ABI Research Research Director, and Bob O'Donnell, TECHnalysis Research President & Chief Analyst, joined Yahoo Finance Live to break down some of the key themes from the WWDC event. Abbruzzese said, "$3,500 is a tough pill to swallow for anybody ... but Apple is very good at delivering unique content in a very seamless way." O'Donnell said, "I think they did a good job of positioning it in a way a lot of different people could see, oh maybe I could use that." Yahoo Finance markets reporter Jared Blikre took a look at Apple (AAPL) stock after the Vision Pro announcement. Blikre said, "We really saw a big sell off, that big down red candle, that came off on the announcement of the headset ... but I think it's notable too that Apple had climbed to a record-high just before that announcement."
