I keep seeing people mention the battery life as the total blocker for the flight use case, but I honestly don’t remember the last flight I was on > 2 hours that didn’t have outlets available.

It's not sure though if you will be able to to charge device while using simultaneously. On all pictures I have seen cable was using priopertary connector and on the other end soldered to battery. Battery though has extra Usb-c port for charging.

Very dump design in my opinion. They finally learned the lesson with macbook chargers that those cables used to break after a while and started producing this days detachable usbc cable with braided coating.

This vision pro battery looks like has similar low quality white cable that is not braided and cannot be removed from battery or even rolled for storage like in old macbook chargers

Hope they will change it and allow to use any power bank or charge from power outlet or macbook.

Would be nice also their power bank has Magsafe port for charging iphone as emergency

At least MKBHD said in his video that this is possible.

And I'm like 99% sure that they'll come up with a Vision -> USB-C cable later on, so you can either plug it in to your computer, a bigger power bank or directly to a charger.
