Apple's MR headset to use magnetically-attached tethered battery
tht said:I'm curious why Apple didn't, well, is rumored not to have, put the computing chip bits in with the battery pack too. If would have made the goggles lighter, slimmer, thermally cooler. The only reason I can think of is that it's pretty difficult to push >5K 120 Hz through a wire, and this would have 2.
It may have to have a fan to cool all the chips and to cool your face.
I think the eventual goal is to have everything run on and within the VR/AR headset and as battery tech progresses with newer longer lasting options available, the tethered configuration will be phased out in future iterations. So the less reliance and push of the external battery set is preferred rather than increased reliance.

Digital Key Release 3.0 could enable CarKey to work from your pocket
Nice new update. Now if only this technology was universally adopted by car manufacturers besides just BMW limited to a single series. My hope is, like apple carplay, more car manufactures will adopt this feature or have a 3rd party aftermarket available so loads more people can just use their iPhones for everything. Trust me, this beats losing your only one key fob in the sofa cushions for 2 weeks! -
