  • $300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device

    I don't really understand what's in the box, is it a complete replacement for the knit band?  And it presents a USB-A port out of the side of the headband?  Any chance of pictures of it attached?

    This begs the question: Why didn't Apple include a tiny rechargeable battery in the VisionPro headset?

    When the main battery dies, or if you simply swap the main battery, the headset must be rebooted.

    Yes you can recharge the main battery while using the device but that may not be feasible when at a work site.

    A small rechargeable battery in the headset could maintain low power during a battery swap and power an AirTag.

    I see others have already proposed this for the next version.
    You can recharge the main battery using another USB-C battery, and since you can get those from third parties in far larger capacities and/or smaller sizes than Apple's it'd make far more sense to invest in one of those than a replacement proprietary AVP battery pack.  And that way you can plug straight in, daisy chaining your batteries, no need to hot swap and reboot the AVP.

  • Now the US government is demanding users not wear Apple Vision Pro while driving

    Weird how no warning was ever needed for people to not drive while wearing a Meta Quest.

  • Which Bluetooth devices you can use with Apple Vision Pro

    I am curious about one feature not discussed. We know that Apple Vision Pro only supports one Virtual Display. When the AVP is paired to a MacBook, that single virtual display appears and the MacBook's display is blanked out.

    However, has ANYONE tried this attempt yet.  First use Sidecar tech (either wirelessly or with a cable) to pair an iPad's display to act as a secondary screen to the MacBook. Then pair the MarBook (while still using the iPad display as a secondary extended display, with an Apple Vision Pro.  Once the pairing (AVP to the MacBook), the MacBook's display should go black while the AVP mirrors the MacBook's display as a floating virtual display.

    My question is - will the iPad's display still act as a visible extended display?
    Do you want it to?  That sounds like a rubbish experience.

    a typical Mac user will have three devices: a Mac, an iPhone, and iPad.
    I doubt that's all that typical.
    Please elaborate. I meant:
    Typical Apple user: 1 iPhone ~ 1 device. 
    Typical Mac user: 3 devices. 
    What I said.  I doubt iPad ownership is so high amongst Mac users to consider it the norm.
