My electric shaver won't operate if it is plugged into the wall. The cord is only for charging the battery.
It's a safety feature. Since the shaver is a wet/dry shaver, it's designed to be used in the shower, but someone might try using it in the shower while it's plugged into the wall, and that would bring a risk of electrocution.
So maybe it's the same with
I'm kidding of course. I do wonder about the cable from the battery pack to the unit. It has a proprietary connector at on at least one end. Does the other end of the cable have a regular USB-C connector to the battery, or is it permanently attached? Will we be able to replace the cable if it gets damaged?
Spending $3500 is the only way to get the charging block now 😂
I have to have cataract surgery next month so I imagine they will not figure that out how to do that for close in vision. I have mention this several times to apple support about having individual volume controls on the AirPods and for some reason they have never done anything for folks that have issue hearing in one ear but not the other.
All jokes aside, the polishing cloth makes a lot more sense in the context of the Vision Pro.
I can't see anyone wanting to wear that in front of friends or family.
I’m surprised no one has picked up on this part of the article, which I found most interesting. Has this been communicated earlier?
All I have seen was speculation into absurd prices, which is kind of so what I have been expecting. $99 is extremely reasonable.
I'm somewhat interested in what the prescription corrections can do, since that is truly a premium solution. Still debating a version 1, day 1 purchase for this, but very interested.
are you serious?
nobody would be seen in public let alone at home wearing such a thing.
You really think that family members will be wearing this after a long day at work?
'Honey let's get the kids dinner ready while i'm watching a movie and cooking!'
Sure that seems like the future nobody asked for.
It's like those disgraceful "parents" that try to "multitask" with a baby strapped to their chest. Flinging the baby about as they try to do other things. 🤦♂️
Now they can add this thing to their repertoire.
I had Lasik done in 2000, and had great vision for about 15 years until I began to suffer from what my optometrist called "an excess of birthdays". So I started wearing reading glasses. Then my vision started to get blurry at distances due to astigmatism. My distance vision is still technically 20/20, so the Lasik people won't re-do my procedure for the astigmatism. Now I wear bifocal lenses.
For the past few months I have been using the Meta Quest 3 without any special corrective lenses, and I have had no problem using it at all. This makes me think I'll have a similar experience with Apple Vision Pro, and won't need prescription lenses for it either.
My sister had RK done in the 80s or early 90s (before Lasik, they used a knife instead of a laser). They corrected one of her eyes for distance and one for close up. When I try to show her something on the Quest 3, she says she can't see it at all. Maybe lenses would work for her, but she hates anything 3D.
Apple has announced the launch date of Apple Vision Pro, its much-touted spatial computing device. The mixed reality headset starts at $3,499 and will go on sale in the U.S. on Friday, February 2, with availability in Canada and the United Kingdom expected to follow later this year.
Apple has not yet revealed all the details about the device's configuration options ahead of pre-orders, which start on Friday, January 19, but we do know what is included in the box with every Apple Vision Pro.
- Vision Pro Headset: The headset is the primary component of the Vision Pro system, featuring advanced eye and hand-tracking technology via cameras, ultra high-resolution displays for each eye, speakers on either side, and an EyeSight front-facing screen. The headset comes with a minimum of 256GB of onboard storage for applications and media.
- Solo Knit Band and Dual Loop Band: These two types of headband are designed for user comfort and customization. The Solo Knit Band is a single band that wraps around the back of the head, while Apple says the Dual Loop Band features "a pair of adjustable upper and lower straps for a personalized fit."
- Light Seal: The Light Seal is made of a soft textile and likely comes in a range of shapes and sizes, flexing to conform to the user's face for a precise fit. This accessory helps to block external light, enhancing the immersive experience of the headset.
- Two Light Seal Cushions: These cushions come supplied in two sizes and provide additional comfort and light-blocking capability, ensuring a snug fit around the face to prevent light leakage.
- Cover for Front Glass: The cover protects the headset's front glass when not in use, preventing scratches and damage.
- Polishing Cloth: A soft cloth designed for cleaning the headset's lenses and front glass without causing scratches or damage.
- Battery Pack: An external power source for the headset, ensuring longer usage times and portability. The battery provides 2 hours of general use and 2.5 hours of 2D video playback on a single charge, according to Apple.
- USB-C Power Adapter: The adapter is used to charge the headset's battery pack, ensuring the device is always ready for use. It also may enable the Vision Pro to be connected to an external power source for longer periods of use than the portable battery allows, although Apple has yet to confirm this.
- USB-C Charging Cable: A cable for connecting the headset or the battery pack to the USB-C power adapter for charging.
Apple will offer optional optical inserts for users who normally wear glasses, but these are not included in the packaging and will be a separate purchase starting at $99. Apple is partnering with ZEISS to offer the inserts that can be customized to each person's vision requirements.
The inserts attach to the Vision Pro lenses magnetically, allowing for precise viewing and eye tracking. Glasses wearers will need a valid prescription to get the inserts, but Apple cautions that not all prescriptions will be supported. Optical inserts will be available to order online on Apple's website.
Apple plans to start offering Vision Pro demonstrations at U.S. Apple retail stores on launch day. Apple says that demo times will be offered through the weekend on a first-come, first-served basis, with signups to take place starting at 8:00 a.m. on February 2.

Is it the $20 polishing cloth included? That’s generous.
Vacation trips often cost more than most people’s monthly rent/mortgage.
Cars cost more than most people’s monthly rent/mortgage.
Home remodels often cost more than people’s monthly rent/mortgage.
wait for it…COMPUTERS.. often cost more than people’s monthly rent/mortgage!
Something costing more than someone‘s monthly rent/mortgage has nothing to do with the fairness/legitimacy of the cost. But people already know this. They just want to crap on the Vision Pro. The problem is the joke stopped being funny about 5 seconds after the device was announced.
Very surprised to see Apple providing power adapter and Polishing cloth along with the product.
You jest and we chuckle. However, I'm sure there are legal reasons behind this too!
In 20 years why would you want a version 1 of this?
Ah, I thought you were meaning the person, not the headset (probably cos someone else mentioned the person looking weird earlier in the thread). Yeah, I agree that face computers are stupid.
Polishing cloth comes in space gray and limited edition “red”. /s
