Apple Vision Pro essentials: How to update, turn off, or reset the headset

Apple Vision Pro focused on the Light Seal.

Some modern Apple products forego basic functionality, like a power button or a way to initiate manual updates, for the sake of simplicity. This is the case with the AirPods Max, which can't be completely shut down at all. At first glance, it might look like Apple Vision Pro is the same way. There isn't an obvious way to turn off Vision Pro, and this led early adopters to question whether it was even possible. 

Not only is there a way to power down your Vision Pro headset to save battery life, but there are actually four methods for doing so. However, there's a sharp learning curve that comes with using visionOS for the first time, because it feels both familiar and foreign compared to other Apple operating systems. If you're struggling with the basics, you're not alone. That's why we've put together a complete guide of everything you need to know about updating, shutting down, or resetting Apple Vision Pro.
