The recently launched Apple Vision Pro in the United States has been met with consumer concerns regarding its weight, comparable to the previous generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Although Apple offers the Dual Loop band to mitigate this issue, a creative individual on Reddit innovated a more comfortable solution by incorporating a second Solo Knit band, renowned for its softness and adjustability. This additional band costs $100 and promises to provide an elevated level of comfort.
Comfort Refined: A User’s Crafty Solution
The Dual Loop band, designed with two adjustable straps, offers a tailored fit but falls short in comfort when compared to the Solo Knit band. Identifying this, the user named Grimdar on Reddit, invested an extra $100 to double up the Solo Knit band on their Vision Pro, enhancing the cushioning and fit. Grimdar expressed satisfaction with the comfort level achieved through this modification and plans further refinements using 3D printing to improve aesthetics.
Expensive Yet Worthwhile Tweak
Despite the hack’s effectiveness, the cost of an additional Solo Knit band has been a consideration for users. However, the individual behind the tweak reassures that the comfort enhancement justifies the expense. Other users on Apple Vision Pro’s Reddit community have expressed their admiration for this comfort hack, which surpasses the solo use of either the Solo Knit band or the Dual Loop band.
The innovation has sparked a conversation within the Apple Vision Pro community, where users share and seek new ways to enhance their user experience. Inquiries about other hacks or suggestions can be directed to jose@bgr.com, opening the door for further collaborative improvements among the Vision Pro user base.
While the individual’s ingenuity has paved the way for a new level of comfort, it is an open question whether Apple will take note and introduce their own official solution. Until then, users have this community-driven approach to consider for an improved experience with the Apple Vision Pro.
