Apple is lying. Several YouTubers tested in person and it turns out both front glass and lenses are plastics.It’s actually glass. From Apple’s product page: “A singular piece of three-dimensionally formed laminated glass acts as an optical surface for the cameras and sensors that view the world.”
Of course, if the crack goes all through, it isn’t a singular piece anymore. Apple should be sued for false advertising.

Who knew he had crack timing down so well! (J/k)
This Mariana Trench immersive environment is so real my scuba lens cracked!
An Apple spokesperson just acknowledged the issue.
"We are aware that a small number of users are having issues with their
yikes. so thats a $2500 repair? all repairs start at $2500 right?
Give me the Quest 3 for $500. the resolution is high enough for $500.

A Vision Pro would help you earn money if you were an influencer with a YouTube channel. You'd earn money by posting videos of: a review, disassembly, drop test, etc.

Only Apple could design a front plate with all the fragility of glass and the surface hardness of plastic.
Say what you will about lizard man, but cheap white plastic without an OLED behind it sure does seem to last longer.

Exactly what Steve Jobs would say if the man were alive today.
God rest his ‘you’re holding it wrong’ soul.
At least in the Northern Hemisphere, outside temps. are still within the cooler side of this device's operating range. If heat is the issue, this problem will only get worse with more people using this outside & hotter days ahead.
Couldn't some of the hardware (weight and heat) have been put alongside the battery pack (and not on your face)?
This product could have been so much lighter (until the technology allowed for it to be put back on the bridge of your nose).

How can a user prove this? Under Euro law the obligation would be with the manufacturer for the first year of the mandatory 2 years of warranty to prove that the defect or cause for it was not present at the time of purchase…
Much harder to screw consumers over here
Incorrect. You do realize being made entirely of plastic and being laminated in plastic are not the same, right?
I honestly do not understand the hatred this product is causing in the public. If you think this is bad check out the Meta threads on Reddit. It’s almost like some kind of psychosis.
What I don’t understand is why it triggers people. Yes, it is a very expensive product, yes it is not incredibly useful. But it is an experiment and it’s a first generation. I think anybody who buys it knows this. If you ignore the people who are just trying to show off the rest of us are trying to learn and understand a new paradigm , it’s not for everyone. So why do these people care so much?

The choice is up to you 'cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses.
