The Vision Pro battery secrets are finally revealed now that Apple has started preorders and the first reviews are out.
The first Vision Pro reviews are out, and they all seem to tell the same story. The Apple Vision Pro is an amazing device, like nothing else on the market. But the gadget has a few serious drawbacks, as we would anticipate from any first-gen Apple gadget.
The battery — not just the battery life, but the battery itself — is one of the key Vision Pro components that Apple didn’t really detail during the launch event at WWDC last year, or at any point after that. The battery is the Vision Pro’s “ugly” design compromise, which Apple kept hiding in promo images of the Vision Pro.
But the fact is that you can’t do any spatial computing without the power the battery provides. You still need the battery, even if you want to hook up your Vision Pro directly to the wall.
Thankfully, Apple started revealing more details about the battery once Vision Pro preorders opened a few days ago. Now that the Vision Pro reviews are out, we know everything else about it.How long does the Vision Pro battery last?
Battery life is a hugely important detail for the Vision Pro. Apple said the battery will be good for 2 hours during the WWDC event. Vision Pro preorders prompted Apple to finally publish the specs page for the spatial computer. That’s how we learned the battery life for watching video goes up to 2.5 hours.
In practice, reviewers could get up to 3 hours of use out of a single charge. Brian Tong was able to watch Avengers: Endgame on a charge. The battery lasted for 3 hours and 9 minutes — longer than the Marvel movie. He managed to use the Vision Pro for general-purpose activities for 2 hours and 26 minutes.
