In the day leading up to a major Apple launching – and they do n’t occur much bigger thanVision Pro , at least in long - term import — there ’s a tendency for the technical school press to fixate on any and all detail , no matter how trivial . And right now , that detail is the size of the box which Vision Pro comes in .
Writing forMacRumorsMonday , senior editor Hartley Charlton report that the web site has spotted Vision Pro ’s promotion in an Apple employee training telecasting , and post a 3D render of it next to the headset for size comparison purposes . And it ’s fair to say that the corner is bigger than we ’ve grown used to for Apple products . The “ viewing ” slant of the render is wily , but it seems like at least six headsets could be match into the composition board enormousness — and gives the impression that you ’re get quite a fate for your $ 3,499 .
And you are . The large box should n’t be a huge surprisal , because the headset is n’t the only thing that needs to accommodate in the box . Check out the “ What ’s in the Box ” section of thepre - Holy Order pageand you ’ll see that it contains a swooning seal , two light seal cushion , two different band ( Solo Knit Band and Dual Loop Band ) , a cover , the external battery , a magnate adapter and transmission line , and a special - edition Polishing Cloth . That ’s on top of the common documentation and internal packaging to make trusted things do n’t demote into each other and make scathe in transit . honestly , it ’s amazing the box is n’t even large .
That ’s not to say that size does n’t count , or that Apple wo n’t be puzzle out hard to make the packaging small ; one of Tim Cook ’s great successes as CEO ( and before , when he ran operation ) has been to make the company ’s logistics and shipping as efficient as possible . Environmental business concern may have been the pretext when headphone and chargers were remove from iPhone boxes , but lowering merchant vessels costs will have been a major factor too . When the company is betray just200,000 units , the weight of individual software system is less of a concern , but it will want to slenderize things down for the product ’s hoped - for futurity as a mainstream succeeder .
Still , in the wondrous scheme of things , this remains a pettiness . It will be far more important for Apple to slim down the headset itself , and save us all from tender neck .
