Lightning’s big bro connects Apple’s headset to its battery.

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.

      That, the law not applying to this specific thing, and durability. The suits chose due to the former amd the engineers the latter.

        The law does apply to “this specific thing”.

        The law is essentially that (most) battery charge cables must use USB-C, and Apple’s headset does use a USB-C cable to charge the battery.

          I believe that’s why they make it impossible to remove without a sim card tool, so they can argue that it’s an internal connection that the user is not supposed to remove.
