HTC, Magic Leap, and other enterprise companies tend to emphasize how long their products will last — offering either comparatively long-lasting batteries or swappable ones. The back-mounted battery isn’t easily removable like the Vive Focus 3’s, so you can’t just swap it out and keep going. Even John Carmack is feeling grumpier than usual.
