Summary

TLDRThe script depicts a satirical promotional video for the fictional Apple Vision Pro, an extremely expensive virtual reality headset. The presenter humorously highlights impractical features like requiring an iPhone to purchase and limited battery life, while evading questions about practical use cases. Through excessive hype and vagueness, the video parodies Apple's tendency to market flashy new products regardless of their actual utility or value.

The video is abnormal, and we are working hard to fix it.
