I can't help buy think the Vision Pro should have been based on an iPhone instead of the Mac.

The latest Pro model iPhone weighs only about 22% of the Vision Pro + battery pack. The Vision Pro battery alone weighs more than the iPhone 18 Pro Max (with it's integrated battery).

Certainly, by putting the phone components in a larger enclosure, the thermals could be better managed over a phone being being used directly. Not to mention the thermal improvements that have been made it more recent iPhones.

With how locked down the Vision Pro is, it felt more akin to the iPhone or iPad anyway, so trying to classify it as a PC replacement always felt off.
