Is there any way to perform updates like this without putting it on? It seems pretty annoying to have to put it on just to navigate to settings, tell it to update, then take it off again.
This might be my favourite thing ever said about the Vision Pro, because it perfectly explains why it will never be a successful standalone product.

Imagine this being said about any other device - a phone, a laptop, a desktop, a watch - that's it's too annoying to use to install an update.

I imagine they mean so that it is ready to go when they want to use it…
