Apple Vision Pro In-Store Demos Now Use The More Comfortable Dual Loop Band

Demos of Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional in Apple Shops now use the Twin Loop Band, successfully an admission that the Solo Knit Band is not comfy sufficient.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported the change prematurely final week, and a number of individuals who say that they had a Imaginative and prescient Professional demo in latest days have confirmed it to UploadVR. Additional, in Apple’s official pictures of the China, Japan, and Singapore launch everyone seems to be utilizing the Twin Loop Band.

For those who’re unaware: Imaginative and prescient Professional comes with a strap referred to as the Solo Knit Band preattached. The Solo Knit Band was seen in virtually all of Apple’s advertising pictures earlier than this, and it’s manufactured from a “3D knitted” material that feels nice on the again of your head. The issue although is that it lacks a high strap, a vital element of the straps of different headsets like Quest 3 and Valve Index, and many individuals discover it merely cannot comfortably assist the load of the headset.

However Imaginative and prescient Professional additionally comes with another strap within the field referred to as the Twin Loop Band, and it has a side-to-side high strap. Many individuals, myself included, discover this makes the load of the headset way more bearable.

In my evaluate of Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional I speculated that the Solo Knit Band exists extra for aesthetic advertising pictures of its elegant design than really supporting the headset’s weight. With this modification to in-store demos, Apple appears to be successfully admitting that, or at the least has heard the suggestions from clients and potential clients about its consolation loud and clear. This suggestions will even doubtless be integrated into future Imaginative and prescient headsets, as weight and luxury are reportedly high priorities for Apple’s designers and engineers.
