Of course you can’t see it, if it’s in their back pocket they’re going to be sitting on it. Is the photographer supposed to get up their ass to get the battery pack in frame. If you uncropped the photo you would just see more of their bodies and that’s completely unnecessary for something you wear on your face. Don’t get me wrong I think everything about the Vision Pro is nonsense but this article is some clickbatey horse-shit.
They showed and talked about it in the keynote too. It’s not like this is some last minute surprise.
