Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables::The Vision Pro’s battery connector is removable once you press the eject button, and it uses a 12-pin connector that looks like a wider version of a Lightning cable.

If it was hardwired you would need to buy a whole new kit…
And does anyone even know the tech specs to know if an existing cable is capable of providing the power the device needs?
Nah, Apple will gladly take your money for a replacement.
And I have no idea of the specs, but I've seen some truly power hungry laptops that charge with USB-C.
No… but you agree as well… what? A battery with an attached cable kit would cost vastly more than just a replaceable cable mate. Atleast Apple didn’t go that route, of course they want your money, they could have taken more by not having a replaceable cable at all…..
The pack charges with USB-c this cable goes from headset to battery pack and could provide more power or even data than what usb-c does. So atleast it’s replaceable instead of being hardwired and needing to buy a whole new kit to replace a damaged connecto/cable.
USB C cables can provide more than enough if made properly. No way this device exceeds those specs.
