The Vision Pro might be Apple's last Jony Ive-influenced product and he wanted its external display to do much more than show the wearer's eyes

When Apple announced the Vision Pro headset during an event on June 5 last year as part of the wider WWDC fun, it showed off a range of new features that it will have to offer. Some of those features were more impressive than others, but the EyeSight one is definitely a feature that got plenty of attention. It allows people to see a representation of the Vision Pro wearer's eyes via an external display, and it's sure to be an interesting one to see in real life. But it now appears that the user's eyes weren't the only things that Apple had in mind, at least originally.

A new patent has cropped up that appears to point to some additional features for that external display, which Apple hasn't announced but could return to in a future software update. The new features are all shown in a patent that has former chief designer Jony Ive's name on it, suggesting that this may well be one of the last devices that had his input — if not the last one.
