Apple reveals plans to lighten Vision Pro headset with new design patent

Apple is addressing concerns about the weight of its Vision Pro headset. A new patent application suggests a design that could make the device significantly lighter by relocating the processor and other components, similar to its current battery setup. Reviewers have noted that the Vision Pro can feel heavy during extended use, leading to discomfort. The new design aims to improve weight distribution and comfort while maintaining performance and functionality. Additionally, Apple acknowledges the need for better heat dissipation in the headset. The proposed solution includes a removable processing unit that could be housed in a tethered cartridge, enhancing user experience.
