Slightly more compact and with a carry strap
Belkin is a subsidiary of the Taiwanese Foxconn Group, the most important manufacturer of iPhones. Over the past few decades, he has repeatedly been the initial starter with some important Apple accessories, where it often seems as if there was a direct collaboration with Cupertino. This appears to be the case with the new Belkin Travel Bag for the Apple Vision Pro. Its dimensions are reminiscent of Apple’s “original”, but it is a little more compact. A carry strap is also included.
However, the idea is to keep the case in a backpack. It has space for batteries and other accessories. The bottom is padded and there’s a dedicated AirTags compartment to stash the tracker. According to Belkin’s photos, you must remove the headband, which is not necessary with Apple’s Travel Case. The specified material is nylon. The price in the EU is 119.95 euros (US price without taxes: US$99.95). For comparison: Apple’s travel bag costs 219 euros from the manufacturer.
Vision Pro Marketing Changes
Meanwhile, there are reports that Apple is looking to change the way it markets the Vision Pro in its stores. In Apple retail stores without a dedicated area for headsets, the hardware must be brought to the customer at only one table, not two. As Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman writes on ThreadsThis is still a pilot project.
Instead of one table for demos and one table for demonstrations, in the future there will be only one table that serves both functions. Apple had equipped its larger stores with special areas for the Vision Pro here, for example, with completely separate seating areas just for the demo, including special storage areas for the headsets. Apparently there are no plans for change here.
