Ray Wong of Inverse<\/em> discovered a hidden joy today<\/a>: The Apple Vision Pro<\/a> power cable connects to the battery with what may well be Lightning\u2019s final form. Using a SIM removal tool, he pushed into a small hole in the silver external battery pack of the Vision Pro next to the cable, and…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nilay Patel, Verge<\/em> editor-in-chief and Vision Pro reviewer<\/a>, gave it a shot, and what do you know? The rumors are true. Like a Palpatinian twist, somehow, Lightning returned<\/a>. Whether this was Apple intentionally propping up the crumbling walls of its garden or it\u2019s just trolling everyone after the EU essentially forced it to switch the iPhone to USB-C<\/a>, it\u2019s a funny discovery:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In an alternate timeline, this might have been USB-C, part of a world where external batteries for the headset are plentiful and don\u2019t need Apple\u2019s special approval (or is that spatial approval? Ha ha, just a little Vision Pro humor there). Sure, you can plug a separate external battery into the USB-C port of the battery pack, but daisy-chaining portable batteries together to get more than a couple of hours of untethered use is probably going too far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
