Apple Vision Pro Unveils Wide Lightning Connector in Battery Pack

The discovery of a 12-pin wide Lightning connector inside the Apple Vision Pro's battery pack has sparked interest and speculation, with its purpose and official name still undisclosed by Apple.

Apple Vision Pro's battery pack features a wide Lightning connector, a variation from the standard 8-pin to a 12-pin design.
The wide Lightning connector is primarily for transferring power from the battery pack to the headset, with potential for data transfer.
This discovery has sparked widespread interest and speculation, despite Apple's silence on the connector's official name and purpose.
The wide Lightning connector's use does not affect the Vision Pro's availability in Europe, as VR headsets are not covered by the EU's USB-C mandate.
The connector is not intended for user access, serving mainly for diagnostics and servicing, and the Vision Pro batteries are not hot-swappable.
