Apple cropped photos of the Vision Pro headset to remove the battery pack, making it look less cumbersome.
Journalists were not allowed to take photos or videos of the Vision Pro's hardware during a press briefing.
Apple sees the cord from the battery pack as getting in the way of making the headset more mobile.

This is why VR will not be a thing yet again. Last time the problem was displays weren't compact enough and the computers weren't powerful enough. Now the problem is that batteries are too heavy and it's basically a smartphone strapped to your face.

Get back to me when you have something like a chunky pair of glasses that can overlay a 3D world onto the real one, or even replace it entirely, and last for hours and hours and hours.

Which will be never, because that much energy density would probably explode.

Honestly, we talk about this thing way too much for how irrelevant it is (or should be, anyway).

It's a ridiculously high end HMV that fixes none of the key issues and is absurdly overpriced. I don't understand why we're entertaining the issue at all.

I mean, I understand it, it's Apple and people somehow suspend reason when it comes to them, but... well, we shouldn't. And that's all the time and thought I'm willing to spend on this dumb thing.
