    getting all this tech in a headset means there’s a lot of weight on your face, so Apple chose to use an external battery pack connected by a cable.

      Exactly. Basically the most common YouTuber reaction to putting this device on for the first time is “Oh! it’s heavy…” XD

          First iteration. I’m sure it’ll improve with time. I guess we all remember those solid gold Apple Watches… XDDD
