    If the iphone or mac is designated to handle the processing and battery, it would make the headset much more lighter and I could wear it for more than 5 MINUTES.

          Then how do you already know that it will actually be affordable?

          "You think apple will just create a garbage product with no features that might be superior to Meta Quest 3?"

          Yes.

If people have no problem wasting money on a $2,000 foldable phone. I don't see why people wouldn't by an affordable Vision Headset. Given the fact that there's no PRICE TAG YET.

            And given the fact that this will be launch and released on late 2026. You think people wouldn't have save money? You think apple will just create a garbage product with no features that might be superior to Meta Quest 3? Especially if their Vision Pro works without any controllers?

              We already have Apple Vision SE from Aliexpress before they did it 🗣️🔥

                Can't wait to turn my head and fling my expensive mac off the table. This wouldn't be an issue if you're sitting and working like they probably want you to

                  Nice now your phone will be the powerbank meaning your gonna have to carry a powerbank. Nice

                    ThunderCrackR, 24 Jun 2024Mmm.. where have I seen this before? Galaxy Gear and Oculus... moreLol, I haven't seen somebody call it "Oculus" in a long time. That was a MUCH better name than (vomits) Meta... 🤮

                      Mmm.. where have I seen this before? Galaxy Gear and Oculus laughing.

                        Why would anyone with half a functional brain buy this over a Xreal, Rokid or even a meta visor? Ah...right, cause of the sloppy seconds fruit logo owned by MegaCorp tech-daddy that you can flaunt in your local starbukas. Coonsumerism, baby!

                        But in all honesty, I hope this BS fails as hard as their joke of a Vision Pro and Tim finally gets the boot. That clown is the biggest reason why customers are forced to pay $1000+ for devices that come with soldered 8GB/256GB in 2024. The man's greed is pure cancer.

But that'll still be an abysmal failure by Apple standards. Remember, the last truly revolutionary Apple products (iPhone and iPod) were actually fairly affordable compared to the competition. And especially with current economic conditions, who can justify paying $1K USD for a product with few to no current use cases?

                              Lol, may as well get universal AR glasses like Xreal Air/Air 2 and Rokid Max. Not only can you use them on any Apple products, but you can also use them on Windows and Android devices.

                                  Lol funny I had mentioned why was this not a possibility for charging the Vision from the beginning back on Macrumors forums just last week.

                                    so, you can connect your iphone to the headset, so you can check instagram on the headset instead of the screen of your iphone? and all of that for the incredible low price as 1000-2000 dollars?

                                    sounds AWESOME xD

                                        Not gonna be surprised if this sells well.
