iFixit Shares Apple Vision Pro Teardown

I would argue that with today's technology, this can be solved much better. If Apple had left the computing technology external, it would have really been a pair of glasses - instead of a pair of diving goggles. Thunderbolt is fast enough for that. Also there are the appropriate flexible cables. But that's just my opinion...
It will be interesting in a 100 years or so, when biotechnology replaces hardware technology, how messy iFixit videos will become. 😵💫
I’m so tired of Apple considering expensive devices as disposable.
I generally don't watch these. Wow, that is some impressive technology and engineering.
I’m do think sites like ifixit have lost sight of the fact that this device is essentially a technology demonstration- like all first generation devices tend to be. That’s why it’s bonkers expensive, excessively complicated and not designed with any thought to repairabilty.
In 2 generations time, it will be cheaper, lighter and have a battery that lasts significantly longer.

Say what you want about the Vision Pro (and headsets in general), but the amount of detail (and sexy detail at that) that Apple puts into their products, plus the amount of tech in such a small space is incredible.
I didn't appreciate the glibness of her comment. She called the camera "a slightly laggy 2010's webcam" which I don't think is accurate.
She also called it the weakest part of Vision Pro, which doesn't seem to be the consensus (field of vision and available apps are probably the weakest parts). But, it was really what I mentioned above that made me stop the video.
I remember when people said the original iPhone was "bonkers expensive". Times change.
I still use my G4 iBook, after 23 years, sure as you say everything does and so will my G4, but I can’t see this one getting nowhere near 23 years of usage.
You’ll be lucky to get 5 and extremely lucky getting 7, it would be a miracle getting 10.
And my iBook didn’t cost 4000 euros to begin with…
I feel like it's a product to demonstrate that 1) Apple is still an innovator 2) Tim Cook is a lot more than a placeholder.
It makes me wonder what Steve would think of it? I m guessing it wouldn't have shipped yet. LOL.
I think the future if this type of product is with true pass through (ie transparent) glasses that superimpose images onto the real view.

She found a way to make what would have been a rather boring video entertaining. screw screw screw fastener screw screw screw fastener ... Video sped up during those boring parts. Found it entertaining, informative and well done. Might even watch it again.
Let’s compromise and call it a spatial computer😂True.. But maybe mixed reality (MR) is more apt for the AVP
Who said Apple consider expensive devices as disposable? Thats your projection not theirs. They treat them as recyclable and use recyclable materials to make them.
I reckon Steve would have shipped them with Goggle Eyes. 👀 He would have also told audiences they had a bargain with $3500.
100% agree. I found her funny. Those people who want to watch videos of people unscrewing everything in real time should watch Louis Rossmann whining for an hour.
haha, yeah that's probably the only thing. but they had no other choice for that.
trust me, if they did, they would have glued a battery in.
Seems to be the case with Apple, and many others these days, to get a mostly done product out there and then complete/fix it after the fact. Especially true on the software side of things. I’m still a believer that Apple should wipe their entire software department and bring in people competent at what they’re doing instead of introducing a fix to patch bugs…that just introduces more bugs in that fix.
You’re so close to understanding why so many of us are disappointed in this thing.
And to those who don’t like the comments in the review about the number of screws, there are real costs to inefficient design and manufacturing. Watch some Sandy Munro videos (his Tesla sycophancy is insufferable but he clearly understand manufacturing).
It runs more pixels than the Apple xdr 6k display, albeit at less bits, but more Hz.
Add camera feeds and sensor data…
Idk, thunderbolt might be pushing it
Inefficient design? 😂😂😂. You build one then. People who tear these things down are in awe of what they managed to put in. There is nothing on the planet that fits in as much tech in such a small space.
