*Flight has to be less than ~2.5 hours or a charging port must be available in your seat. Apple Vision Pro wearer may experience annoying tapping from other people sitting next to them as they may need to get up and use the restroom.
Or, do what I did with Powerbook G4s 2-hour battery life and buy a spare battery or two. I cannot grasp how people can't seem to think that buying additional batteries is possible. But this comes up over and over again... even though anyone who needs more battery for an iPhone can readily buy battery cases from countless sources. Or is that a shocking consideration, completely unknown and/or impossible for everyone too?
How exactly to you actually intend on traveling with an Apple Vision Pro? A GIANT carrying case? A bag or backpack basically JUST for an Apple Vision Pro and all of the accessories/battery packs? Seems pretty silly just to have a larger screen to watch a movie or show.
This thing is relatively tiny. Go look at the pictures. Cloth straps may wrap around one's head making it seem like it is "whole human head" size, but when off, they'll collapse down to inside the physical size and shape of the front piece. I'm guessing this will only need a bit more space in a bag than good headphones. Airplanes are typically loaded with people wearing headphones who have also carried on laptops, tablets, phones, dongles and other accessories... all in one smallish bag that fits under the seat in front of them. I foresee no problem here.
Doubts anyone??? Go get a simple adult pool or ski mask of similar shape and consider how big it is. Could you fit that into a typical bag to tuck under the airplane seat? I've been on planes with people who have live animals tucked in a bag under the seat. This is not close to strapping a whole poodle to one's face.
Also, how cumbersome it will be to switch battery packs. Take the headset off, look for the new battery pack, put the headset back on, and have to go through the power on process, then find the app, then find the movie.
Probably as hard as it was with Powerbook G4. There is no great search for battery packs- I'll know where they are in the bag. Slipping the headset off and on will likely be no more difficult than pulling out the laptop, opening it, then later closing it and putting it away. No screws involved. No glue. Much more like headphones for the eyes. Abundant users of headphones on planes seem to have no trouble finding them, slipping them on & off, putting them away when done with them. My own set has a removable/replaceable battery. If the battery conks mid-flight, I easily find the replacement and quickly switch it. Then back to listening to music again. No monumental burdens.
But then again…here you are preaching. Praise be to Apple!
Yes, I lean positive on this product. Obviously you do not. And that's fine. In other threads, I happily take the negative about various Apple things because I view all through a consumer (not shareholder or fanboy-type) lens. Apple does some good and great things. Apple does some bad and terrible things. I lean positive on this product but I have no interest in "the precious" (iPhone) nor another consumer favorite (the Watch). However, just because I own neither of those doesn't move me to jump into
every thread about them, ridiculing why anyone else might be interested in them. Why waste time in threads about products that are uninteresting... or downright stupid/useless/"nobody will/should want"/etc? And yet here you are-
again- only faulting a stranger's views of what an unreleased product MAY be able to do vs. adding anything tangible to the conversation beyond basically "I see nothing here... so no one else should too."
Don't like it? Don't buy it. I'm not you though. I might find that I like it and may very well buy it.
And if I have to go on some great, onerous journey or through some lengthy checklist to find a spare battery when the first one runs down... or need a U-Haul truck or train to accommodate the transport of this Elephant- or maybe Brontosaurus- from one place to another, that's
my business... and won't affect you in the least.
