There's nothing reasonable about these assumptions.
There's no way the VisionPro gets even close to 100W. Why? Because heat dissipation. The vast majority of power drawn by semiconductors is dissipated as heat and, in a device that's strapped to someone's face, there's simply no way to dissipate hundreds of watts.
Also, knowing the battery pack size and battery life, it's easy to guesstimate the power consumption.
Even if we assume the double of that 30W, it's well within USB-C standards.
Very good explanation. If usb-c is good enough for a MacBook, it's definitely good enough for a small headset - no excuses!
