Apple Unveils New Vision Pro Headset Cover in Published Design Patent An Apple design patent in Hong Kong reveals an innovative Vision Pro cover, marking a potentially significant addition to the company's virtual reality (VR) headset accessories.

Vision Pro Case

In a recent development, Apple has been granted 70 additional design patents in Hong Kong, with a notable focus on its Vision Pro headset. Among these patents, a unique accessory for the Vision Pro headset was disclosed for the first time. This reveal, initially reported by Patently Apple, includes a series of images showcasing the accessory from various perspectives.

The design of this new accessory aligns seamlessly with the aesthetics of the Vision Pro’s headband. It employs a soft-touch woven fabric that covers the front and sides of the headset. Notably, the accessory does not extend to the back of the headset or the Light Seal, suggesting its primary function is to shield the EyeSight display from potential scratches and other forms of damage. Additionally, the cover is equipped with a convenient tab on the left side, facilitating easy removal from the headset.

Another significant design patent awarded to Apple in this batch pertains to a Vision Pro battery. This patent has been mistakenly identified by some as a new MagSafe battery pack. The patent images reveal a recessed port, confirming the detachable nature of the battery unit’s cable. This detail is particularly noteworthy, as it underscores the versatility and user-friendly design of the battery component.

This series of patents represents a continued expansion of Apple’s footprint in the virtual reality (VR) headset market, with the Vision Pro headset and its accessories showcasing the company’s commitment to innovation and user experience in this growing technology sector.
