Apple Vision Pro unveils yet another significant aspect
Since its unveiling, Apple Vision Pro, a center of attention, now faces a new speculation.
The forthcoming Apple Vision Pro, which is powered by an external battery puck when not connected to a power source, recently had firmware for its AR headset released. Interestingly, the firmware suggests that the device might be supported by not just one, but three distinct battery models.
This firmware was released on a recent Thursday night and indicated that the Apple Vision Pro, despite housing a non-removable battery, may possess three different battery capacities. Twitter user Aaron shared the firmware version and mentioned that one battery model for the device is labelled A2781, with two other models carrying the designations A2988 and A2697.
These findings hint at the possibility that the Apple Vision Pro may be sold with a battery puck available in three varying capacities. Despite this, Apple has not yet publicly confirmed this nor have they stated whether the battery puck can be removed and replaced for extending usage time.
Apple Vision Pro unveils yet another significant aspect
One potential caveat is that the cable for the Apple Vision Pro, seen in previous leaks, lacks a USB-C port, indicating the possible use of a proprietary cable developed by Apple.
Assuming there are indeed three battery models for the Apple Vision Pro, the smallest capacity stands at 6,500mAh. Apple has not made any comments on this figure but it does mention that the AR headset, on battery power, will only last for about two hours. The company is set to officially launch the device in early 2024, with some physical stores in the U.S. being transformed to allow potential buyers to test out these headsets.
It is at these stores where we might learn more about the different battery capacities of the Apple Vision Pro. It is also possible that the price might exceed the initial $3,499 estimate for the customers who desire additional runtime.
