After iFixit engineers published a first look at the teardown of the first AR/VR headset from the workshop a few days ago Applu, now comes with a sequel. This time, u Vision Pro they focused in detail on the displays, the base plate with chips and sensors and, last but not least, on its power supply.

The new analysis revealed, for example, that although they are not microLED displays technically capable of offering 4K resolution, offer an absolutely incredible pixel density. Just to give you an idea, more than 50 pixels from Vision Pro fits into a single pixel on the iPhone 15 Pro display. We are therefore talking about 3386 pixels per inch, which makes the display an absolutely wonderful visual experience, which is not 4K according to conventional standards, but the number of pixels exceeds that of 4K televisions.
An interesting look is also at the above-mentioned logic board, on which the M2 chip is located together with the R1 coprocessor for managing data from many sensors in real time. R1 therefore takes care of, for example, outward-facing cameras, TrueDepth camera, LiDAR, IR ecuminators and cameras, but also an accelerometer, gyroscope and the like. It is rather interesting that the output from the additional battery k Vision Pro it has a higher voltage than USB-C, as the headset apparently has a relatively high energy demand. Relatively interesting, but not entirely surprising, is that Apple yet Vision Pro provided virtually no software locks on the computeronents, thanks to which there is no problem with its repairs yet - that is, if a person can get into its bowels. But this is ultimately a big catch, which is why the headset earned a rather below-average repairability score of 4 out of 10 from iFixit.
Total used parts including shipping and assembly / excluding tax – approx. ~35000,- CZK. Apple cost every year of development Vision Pro about 1 billion dollars, Gurman did not confirm exactly how many years it took to develop. So in this light, the price of the product $3500 does not seem so astronomical!
