Everyone thought 3.4k was just a rumor and it will be lower.

A good experience is still expensive and even apple only made it with 2h runtime.

It will take perhaps more or something really revolutionary.

After all you need 4 to watch anything as a family and people don't even mind watching movies on their phones!

Apple also has to believe for so long in this while not being successful with it (my guess).

Using a tiny battery pack. I'm assuming (hoping) that you'll be able to use something bigger that provides USB-C power and get a correspondingly longer life.

  • It looked like an longer one and apple can't break physics. It has two 4k HDR displays build in and a M2 and a R2.

    I'm really curious if they have overheating limitations.

      They did say "all day use when tethered" which suggests not.

good catch about needing 4 of them for a family... will they implement multiuser in vision OS or you will have to buy one for each member as you are supposed to do with the ipads?

  • I have to wonder about a device that won't allow you to watch a 2-hour movie without running out of battery and having to plug it in. I guess Oppenheimer is a no-go.
