Interesting…
So, they find money to develop “next gen” battery tech for the extremely lucrative vision headset, but when it comes to bread and butter products like the iPhone and iPad, they’re cool with the status quo. I guess there isn’t a large enough profit margin. 🤷🏻♂️
I‘m sure they’d be happy to put it into their other devices as well, if possible. But you can’t deny that battery on VR/AR headsets is a much bigger issue compared to smartphones. On smartphones, you mostly make it through one day, on headsets you’re happy if it lasts two hours and the Vision Pro even has the battery dangling around on a cable.
