Discover What Three Battery Models Apple Vision Pro Firmware Suggests

Apple has just launched a software update for the Vision Pro, unveiling the existence of three distinct battery models designed to provide power to the headset.

The technology giant released a backend Thursday night that allows the Vision Pro to receive firmware updates, reports AppleInsider.

It contains information about the model numbers of the Vision Pro battery pack, which is used by the backend to identify which firmware update is required for a given hardware combination.

According to leaker “Aaronp613”, the Vision Pro’s battery model is A2781. However, the firmware also mentioned two other Vision Pro battery models – A2988 and A2697.

“It is currently unknown what this specifically means. Additional model numbers may refer to batteries that must be manufactured to other countries’ standards,” the report said.

Three models can also mean three different battery capacities. The iPhone maker claimed at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last month that the headset’s battery cannot be removed.

The battery has a USB-C port for charging and direct power to the Apple Vision Pro. Priced at $3,499, the headset will be available early next year, starting in the US.

At the same time, the tech giant had announced the availability of new software tools and technologies that will allow developers to create app experiences for the Vision Pro headset. The VisionOS Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers to create completely new application experiences across multiple categories, including productivity, design, gaming and more, leveraging the powerful and unique features of Vision Pro and visionOS.

To help developers optimize 3D content for their visionOS apps and games, a brand new tool included with Xcode called Reality Composer Pro allows developers to preview and prepare 3D models, animations, photos, and audio to look amazing in Vision Pro.
