Images of Apple 'Vision Air' Power Cable Emerge Online

More images of a redesigned power cable allegedly for a future Apple "Vision Air" headset were today shared online by the prototype collector and leaker known as "Kosutami."

Yesterday, the leaker explained that the Apple "Vision Air" will feature a thinner design and switch the battery enclosure and several of its internal structures to titanium to reduce the device's overall weight. Most of the exterior of the device will continue to be aluminum, except with a "Midnight" bluish-black finish. Today's Vision Pro is only available in silver.

The latest images of the power cable show an anodized aluminum connector finished in Apple's distinctive Midnight color. Initial pictures of the Lightning-style connector in Midnight purportedly for the next-generation Vision device were first shared yesterday:

The Vision Pro uses a similar connector, except with 12 pins instead of eight, suggesting that the new cable is part of a more significant redesign, at least of the external battery. The audio strap connector appears to be the same design as that of the Vision Pro.

Apple is expected to launch a second-generation Vision Pro headset with the M5 chip between fall 2025 and spring 2026, but the company's work on a lower-cost headset is widely reported. The latter could be the "Vision Air" device Kosutami has referred to.

Kosutami has a mixed track record for Apple rumors, but they were the first to say that Apple would replace its leather Modern Buckle band with a FineWoven version in 2023. They also went on to provide the first real-world images of the FineWoven Apple Watch bands prior to their official unveiling, the new Thunderbolt 4 cable released alongside the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 16 Pro's improved thermal design and redesigned battery, and more.

Absolutely not. The vision pro is one of the most profound computing experiences I have ever had the joy of using. The first iPhone sucked and so did the first watch and the first iPad. Through proper iteration and improvements they became best in class. Apple made a limited amount of these and effectively sold off what was built. The virtual displays and other updates to the platform are making it more and more useful by the day and for entertainment there is no better device to consume it.


I know it’s a failure but they can’t possible get out of a computer space. They still are in the smart watch space despite having the worst offer and the most expensive one.
As someone who has used multiple android smart watches and fitness trackers, you are tripping big time.

Having owned the first iphone, it definitely did not suck. It was revolutionary at the time and absolutely no other device of it's kind could come close in terms of the user experience it provided.

You'd have a better argument saying it sucks now with how it's lagging behind competitors in terms of AI features, Assistant and ability to customize.

Mechanically speaking, the Lightning connector is superior to the USB Type-C.

They better be planning to hit a dramatically lower price point AND support the heck out of developers, as well as have a gaming story and 1st party content narrative and support very fleshed out.

The AVP hasn't stagnated due to the hardware not being good enough.

I do wish a Vision product had some kind of input on it that lets you connect HDMI devices and play PC games in VR and such. It's getting a bit silly when you need to buy a VR headset for each console and platform you own.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced the new Vision Air power cable, the most powerful power cable ever made, featuring more power than ever before seen in a cable. This magical cable delivers groundbreaking performance, extensive connectivity, and new capabilities in its compact and colorful new ‘Midnight Finish’ design that can live right on a desk. The Vision Air power cable also lives up to the Air name, being one of the lightest and thinnest cables we have ever made, an entire Planck length thinner than ever with a weight savings of 2 picograms. Apple Vision Air power cable is a massive leap in design and performance.
