Apple's Mixed Reality Headset to Feature Magnetic Connector for External Battery Pack.
Apple's mixed reality headset will have a new proprietary charging connector for the external battery, which is worn at the waist, and a USB-C interface for data transfer. The charging cable that goes from the battery pack into the headset has a round tip that inserts magnetically and must be rotated clockwise to lock it in. The external battery pack is about the size of an iPhone but thicker and can be charged via USB-C. It will power the headset for approximately two hours and can be swapped out for continuous usage while a second battery charges.
