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.

While the so-called "iPhone 17 Air" is not expected to launch until September, there are already plenty of rumors about the ultra-thin device.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Air sounds like a mixed bag. While the device is expected to have an impressively thin and light design, rumors indicate it will have some compromises compared to iPhone 17 Pro models, including only a single rear camera, a...
Despite being more than two years old, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 still dominate the premium wireless‑earbud space, thanks to a potent mix of top‑tier audio, class‑leading noise cancellation, and Apple's habit of delivering major new features through software updates. With AirPods Pro 3 widely expected to arrive in 2025, prospective buyers now face a familiar dilemma: snap up the proven...

Apple's $570 million fine from the EU has triggered a sharp rebuke from the White House, which called the fine a form of economic extortion, Reuters reports.
The fine was announced on Wednesday by the European Commission, following a formal investigation into Apple's compliance with the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a landmark piece of legislation aimed at curbing the market dominance of ...

When an iPad running iPadOS 19 is connected to a Magic Keyboard, a macOS-like menu bar will appear on the screen, according to the leaker Majin Bu.
This change would further blur the lines between the iPad and the Mac. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman previously claimed that iPadOS 19 will be "more like macOS," with unspecified improvements to productivity, multitasking, and app window management,...
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.
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.
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.
