Apple's upcoming mixed reality headset will reportedly have an external battery pack that looks like the MagSafe iPhone battery pack and uses a proprietary magnetic connector to attach to the headset. The headset's battery pack charges via USB-C and has a similar size to two iPhone 14 Pro Max phones stacked on top of one another. The headset could also have a USB-C connector for handling data, although it's unclear what kind of data might need to be transferred. The proprietary power cable is reportedly hardwired into the battery pack, making it non-replaceable if it develops a fault.
