As with myriad other Apple gadgets, the folks at iFixit have pulled apart a Vision Pro to see what makes it work. There’s a lot of tech crammed into a relatively small space, which made the Vision Pro difficult to take apart. But, after heating and prying parts apart, removing brackets, screws, and cables, iFixit made it reached the inner layers to show off all of the Vision Pro’s components, concluding that:

The Vision Pro is insanely ambitious. Yes, it’s heavy, and the glass is fragile, and that tethered battery might get annoying. But Apple has managed to pack the power of a Mac, plus the performance of a new dedicated AR chip, into a computer that you can wear on your face.

Repairability-wise, it’s not great, but on the plus side, some of the connections are quite delightful. You should have seen our teardown team jump up when they realized that the side arms could be popped out using the SIM-removal tool, for example, and the magnetic cushions are yet more user-friendly.
