If iPhone repairs give you anxiety, iFixit’s Vision Proteardown videowill send you into convulsions.
Apple’s first-generation “spatial computing” headset is a maze of screws, glue, and connectors.
The EyeSight display’s curved glass exterior is pretty uninteresting.

Once it’scarefullyremoved, a layer of shaded glass is revealed.
And this is where things get weird.
To achieve a 3D effect, the OLED EyeSight display interpolates several different images in a staggered pattern.
The display looks hilarious when viewed on its ownit’s the highlight of iFixit’s teardown.
All of those weird layers that sit on top of the EyeSight display help to smooth things out.
During its teardown, iFixit took a moment to ask why the EyeSight display exists.
Apple’s ambition has outpaced its abilities.
However, the EyeSight display may be nothing more than a tone-setter for “spatial computing.”
This teardown video also addresses a popular myth.
Early reviews of the Vision Pro complained about the battery pack’s permanently-attached cable.
But the power cable isn’t permanently attached.
However, you’re able to daisy-chain another USB-C power source through the Vision Pro’s battery pack.
A future iFixit teardown will focus on the Vision Pro’s internal screens.
It’ll also include a repairability score for the headset.
However, it’s already clear that this isn’t a “repair-friendly” item.
