I mean , when Steve Jobs presented the iPhone, people could afford it. The next device should be sold at around 1000 $ (with similar or better specs), otherwise it will be a flop.

    I actually think it look way more repairable than what I expected. beside the tideous opening of all the glass layers, it looks remarkably modular inside. Yes lots of screws and lots of ribbon cables, but it means u could 'theorically" replace only the malfunctionning part without having to buy a full motherboard with everything soldered on it.
    At a point, consummers need to understand that there is indeed complexity in how a space-aware facial computer is built compared to a phone.
    Having this level of engeneering in making it as simple as possible, everything layered with only screws and ribbon cables is truly remarkable in my opinion

      It’s not even a lightning connector, it’s a different internal connector exclusively for the Vision Pro, it’s wider than lightning. Technically as it’s not easily removable the consumer should basically never have to see it however if the battery needs to be replaced but the cable is fine than only one piece needs to be replace(and view versa). The logic I’ve heard behind making it non easily removable is that if you have the Vision Pro on and you say bend down you don’t want the cable to get pulled and shut down and the port’s depth means that it can’t snap off in a pocket if someone bends over.

You could add the same handle part onto it that locks in and people could then still just use it on any other powerbank if they want to. And other companies could sell their own powerbanks that can lock onto that. But I guarantee you that this special Apple connector has a patent to prevent this from happening or Apple wants to get paid if you use one, as they did with lighting connectors.
