Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, while the custom operating system, visionOS, is tailor-made for spatial interactions and supports various input accessories.

The device is equipped with a range of hardware features, such as cameras, tracking sensors, eye-tracking cameras, and LiDAR, ensuring an interactive user experience. It also offers biometric authentication via Optic ID and supports AirPlay.

During the launch, Apple Vision Pro comes with an exclusive lineup of 600 apps designed specifically for the new headset, including the addition of OpenAI’s ChatGPT app.

However, it has faced some security challenges, including a system crash caused by a kernel vulnerability. Additionally, the device still relies on the Lightning port for both charging and connectivity, as details about the battery pack specifications have surfaced.
