Counterpoint to the weird battery voltage justification, from an electronics engineer: the 15V USB-C step could've achieved everything Apple wanted in terms of power delivery, with very little VRM modification. When you have hardware development control like they do, accepting 45W instead of 40W is essentially turning a dial.

I was wondering the same thing when he showed the USB-C standard voltages. 13 vs 15 is nothing. I don't get why that wasn't mentioned. Then they could have just made it thunderbolt compatible through the same port and now it has vastly more capability.

I wonder if the microOLED displays or some other hardware component on the headset use 13V natively so it would allow them to reduce the total number of power rails and vrms they need on the headset itself. maybe not but thats the only reason I can think of that they would use a really uncommon voltage like that. if they used 15V then they would have to also generate the 13V onboard which would be additional components and power drain.

@@jacksontintYou're completely correct. I just don't personally believe there's sufficient amperage or efficiency to run a 13V output directly to 13V native input; it's more likely that they're already stepping it down into a bunch of smaller voltages and just using 13V because it matched their efficiency targets. I suspect they were planning to develop this proprietary connector from day 1.

Best Vision Pro video by far. Super honest and legitimately not what anyone else is saying from a real VR enthusiast. Love it!

While I haven't tried the Vision Pro myself, keep in mind that the effective brightness on VR Headsets is afaik basically always way lower than what the displays are quoted for, not just because of the optics but through heavy black frame insertion too, to minimize motion blur. I would expect the Pro to be well below 1000 nits because without any incoming light from the outside, that would be way too bright for comfort anyways.

@adonisds

3 ай бұрын

That's correct. The optics alone transmit only about 10%-15% of the light. BFI is always used in every VR headset because without it massive motion blur would be experienced. For really good motion performance, the screen should be on about 10% of the time. People have been saying that there's much more blur with movement in vision pro than in other headsets, sot the screen is probably on much more than 10% of the time. see KGOnTech or GladlyItsBradley for references

Usually a title like that is clickbait, and it never is with you. No one comes close to the level of thoughtfulness and detail you dig into. The thing I don’t like as much is that you are *so* intelligent and know so many details that I lose you along the way all the time, even as someone who is above-average tech literate. Like how you tried to quickly explain how batteries work with all the different units & how they work together - I’m still completely lost.

I havent seen any yet. Ive been waiting for yours

20:25 i kinda disagree. I have a ballistic helmet, its very heavy on its own, now add night vision, thats another 600 grams. You need a lead counter weight on the back else its not balanced. In total the helmet alone is 2.6 lbs, now add earpro, bungees, nvg mount, ir patch, nvg, counterweight well its going to be twice that for sure yet its still comfy

As always it's the depth of these that always bring me back. The battery and charging part was really well done.

You hit the nail on the head with the eyesight feature. All the techtubers that were saying it would be gone have no idea what Apple were trying to achieve with it. They want to make this device inclusive and this is pretty much the only feature they have that does that at the moment. It’s not going anywhere lol.
