The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

getting all this tech in a headset means there’s a lot of weight on your face, so Apple chose to use an external battery pack connected by a cable.

From the article. What do you mean no one is talking about this, literally every review dropped in the past day brings these things up.

Exactly. Basically the most common YouTuber reaction to putting this device on for the first time is "Oh! it's heavy..." XD

Aluminum is cool but they really should have considered plastic or something and also scrapped that outer screen. The tradeoffs in both weight, cost, and battery life make no sense at all.

First iteration. I’m sure it’ll improve with time. I guess we all remember those solid gold Apple Watches… XDDD
