Apple Inc.’s new $3,499 Vision Pro headset looks just as sleek in person as in its promotional videos, but the device’s external battery pack undercuts its otherwise uncluttered design.
Apple gave the first real-world glimpse of the long-awaited product after its unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, putting the ski-goggle-like device on display at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. The long cord leading to the battery pack is the one of the most noticeable elements. The component resembles a hard drive and makes the headset feel tethered in a way that rival models don’t.
