Apple plans to sell a Belkin head strap that can be used with the Vision Pro's Solo Knit Band, for added comfort and stability while wearing the headset, according to a product listing spotted by Brad Lynch of EOZ VR (reposted by @M1Astra).
The adjustable strap features a "secure locking mechanism for additional stabilization," and it offers a "precise fit for a wide range of head sizes and shapes."
"Designed with aesthetics that make a great addition to the Solo Knit band, the Head Strap features a secure locking mechanism and additional stabilization points to keep Apple Vision Pro in place, even during vigorous movement," the product listing says.
The band will cost $49.95 on Apple's online store in the U.S., but it is not yet available to order. It is unclear when the head strap will be released.
When the Vision Pro was unveiled at WWDC 2023, Apple showed someone wearing the headset with both a Solo Knit Band and a head strap, and it even offered members of the press that combination when they demoed the device. However, that head strap was never made available to the public. In addition to the Solo Knit Band, the Vision Pro ships with the Dual Loop Band, which has a pair of upper and lower slimmer straps.

Some customers find the Vision Pro to still feel heavy on the face even with the Dual Loop Band. In response to this feedback, it seems likely that Apple partnered with Belkin to come up with a head strap for use with the Solo Knit Band after all.

The calendar has turned to February, and a new report indicates that Apple's next product launch is "imminent," in the form of new MacBook Pro models.

In 2022, Apple introduced a new Apple Home architecture that is "more reliable and efficient," and the deadline to upgrade and avoid issues is fast approaching.
In an email this week, Apple gave customers a final reminder to upgrade their Home app by February 10, 2026. Apple says users who do not upgrade may experience issues with accessories and automations, or lose access to their smart...

Last year, Apple launched CarPlay Ultra, the long-awaited next-generation version of its CarPlay software system for vehicles. Nearly nine months later, CarPlay Ultra is still limited to Aston Martin's latest luxury vehicles, but that should change fairly soon.
In May 2025, Apple said many other vehicle brands planned to offer CarPlay Ultra, including Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis.

Apple's first foldable iPhone will feature relocated volume buttons, an all-black camera plateau, a smaller Dynamic Island, and more, according to design leaks from a known Weibo leaker.
The user known as "Instant Digital" today claimed to share several key details about the design of the foldable iPhone:
The volume buttons will be located on the top edge of the device, aligned to the...
Next up: Apple-branded duct tape to wrap your head in. Comes in three colors, plus a nano-textured option that will break only some people's bank accounts.
This is something Apple has to get right for the next unit. There’s no way customers should be forced to look for 3rd party solutions just to use their $3500 device comfortably.
The issues of: Comfort, Use Case and Price have to be solved for the Vision lineup to see the typical levels of success that Apple usually has. Personally I think it will take around 3-5 years to get there (with a $999 Vision SE being the last big step) but once we do it will be pretty game changing.
I just don't know if people will ever get used to the idea of strapping something onto their face.
People will sit at a screen, hold a screen, shove things in their ear holes, strap things to their wrists, even put things on the bridge of their nose and top of their ears but...
Unless you're going underwater, or little bits of things are flying all around, nobody wants to strap something over their eyes. Even then they take it off as soon as possible.
I would love the immersive display, but strapping something onto my face is something that's hard to get used to. EyeSight was a decent swing and a miss to try to mitigate some of the issues but...it's never going to be iPhone or even laptop or even Apple Watch level popular.

People pay $3500 to not need to wear glasses that weigh 1/10th of what the Apple Vision weighs. I don't see it ever being as ubiquitous as their other product lines.
