Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables::The Vision Pro’s battery connector is removable once you press the eject button, and it uses a 12-pin connector that looks like a wider version of a Lightning cable.

No… but you agree as well… what? A battery with an attached cable kit would cost vastly more than just a replaceable cable mate. Atleast Apple didn’t go that route, of course they want your money, they could have taken more by not having a replaceable cable at all…..

The pack charges with USB-c this cable goes from headset to battery pack and could provide more power or even data than what usb-c does. So atleast it’s replaceable instead of being hardwired and needing to buy a whole new kit to replace a damaged connecto/cable.
