Welcome to the Vision Pro, Apple’s most complex piece of hardware yet. So complicated that we’ll need more than one video to tackle it. In this video, we’ll walk you through the Vision Pro’s insane disassembly process, but make sure you’re subscribed to our channel as we’re already hard at work on our follow-up video, which is now live here

It's hideous that no one can see true purpose of this "tech" and boycott this altogether
There is plastic on the front, not glass. Greetings
Now we should praise the product designer team too
Still the best vr / ar headset on the market. Cope more android fanboys.
Idk something about this teardown feels iffy. Like cyberpunk. Gave me the creeps. Maybe tech is just getting to advanced 😅
I'm legit confused on why they bothered to create that front eye display. Would have been so much easier to just make it a solid heatsink piece for better cooling (maybe letting them put an m3 chip in instead) and have sapphire glass for the camera lenses as well. Instead you get a plastic finish that scratches easily…
Well perhaps version 2 will remove the gimmick
This device reminds me of the iPhone 1 both in terms of the innovations it brought and its importance in defining the paths that technology should converge in the coming years.
451 people who hate this movie (thumbs down), because "their world of amazing googles" have been broken? 😀
Ok Apple, we need to be able to get in to the fans to extract lent as needed without a heat gun and glue.
I love mine so much!!! Every image inside is amazing!!!!
This host looks like she would be younger than how she shows. Meaning she looks early 50s (grey hair and older looking hands) but seems to be a younger person. Very unusual.
In summary: connector, connector, screw, screw, screw, tape, bracket, connector, screw, connector, tape, bracket, connector …ad nauseum
Talk about over engineering something, no wonder it costs 3 grand
You can turn it off by pressing both the button and the Digital Crown at the same time like the Apple Watch
Technology is amazing and scary a bit at the same time.
This thing will be a dust collector after 3 months.
Why can’t she talk normally , it’s so hard to listen to, the changes in tone is so confusing, it’s got a weird condescending tone all the time like she hates taking it apart, made the whole teardown weird to watch..
Finally, something more complex than the McDonald's ice cream machine
Bold! Love it!!
Great job! Now we can make it better by replacing some parts and put new software
It's sad to see that the Apple repair program was just the fig leaf we all knew it to be in order to placate the EU 😥
Overly complicated.
It's like you cursing 😂 screw screw screw
Sensacional
Unwatchable with the constant vocal fry.
Imagine the Vision pro 30
iFixit: "weak pass through video"
Marques Brownlee: "greatest passthrough in the history of tech!"
Its too complex for what it is. Oled screen with lenses and camera sensors. And they need 1000 screws for that
Absolutely incredible engineering to not only make this but also be able to mass produce it with so little errors… amazing
U need to sell this thing before u need to clean this damm fans and change the thermal paste haha
Is that a lightning cable connecting the battery???

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
After looking at the complexity of its internals, and considering how amazing it performs, I guess it's really worth the $3500+. Those who balk at the price today, will most likely end up buying it around Black Friday anyway. It's currently February, so we have nine months to save up. $$$$$ Every time someone does a review video, it's just free advertising for holiday sales later this year.
I just saw the movie Smile.
I have a feeling that nobody is going to use these videos for actual tear downs
It’s amazing what a wealthy company with motivated people can accomplish
The choice of music for this was incredible; that was one of the most screwed/nailed down pieces of tech I've ever seen, you made the process of what would've been a depressing disassembly process into something pretty upbeat sounding which is important. Even with impossibly difficult, anti-consumer, anti-repair pieces of kit like this, a sense of "can-do" attitude in climbing Tech Everest is required. Every thought or opinion on this thing already exists in the comments, so there's no need to repeat what hundreds of others have said about it. Thanks for tearing this thing apart. o7
Apple: <Uses fans in its device for cooling>
Also Apple: <Makes it virtually impossible that anybody will ever replace or clean the fans>
I'm sure the repairability score is -10 for Vision Pro.
The internal, almost impossible to replace battery that is one design flaw that most other V.R. headsets ( " Spatial Computing Devices " ) have that the Apple Vision Pro does not have.
At least the Apple Vision Pro has the ability to switch out the battery if it ever goes bad.
Don't complain about the external batteries on the Apple Vision Pro or other V.R. Headsets until you have to swap one out on a Quest 3, good luck with that.
At least the PICO 4 has a external battery in the back of the Headset.
The front wonkey display on the Apple Vision Pro is a total waste of resources and pointness.
AND a proprietary battery that (when new) only lasts two hours? You need at least one more $200 battery just to watch a movie. THAT’S CORPORATE GREED AT IT’S WORST!!!
I was waiting for the repairability score.
