Apple Vision Pro specifications

The Vision Pro is powered by an external battery pack that is connected via a cable. Apple doesn't typically reveal the capacities of its batteries, so we'll have to wait for a teardown video to find out these details.

Depending on your configuration, the Vision Pro can weigh up to 650g and the battery pack weighs 353g, according to the company.
