> I wonder if this is because Apple prioritizes a farther away focal point for the inserts, so you literally can't focus on anything close up

VR is interesting all because all manufactures (that I know of) have a fixed focal distance for the screens. This is why you need inserts in the first place, even though the lenses are right in front of your eyes. For example, on the valve index this is set to ~6ft, so if you can see up to 6ft perfectly, you do not need inserts.

Moving your phone around doesn't change this number, its a relationship between the lenses and the screens
