Once again, the supremely cool cats at iFixit have torn into Apple’s newest hardware and have now published both a written as well as a video teardown of the new Apple Vision Pro headset, offering a list of the components to be found inside the mixed-reality headset.
The teardown report reveals several internal components, including various cameras and sensors, fans, lens motors, and more. Unsurprisingly, it appears that opening and repairing the headset will be difficult.
“The EyeSight seems like a repair Achilles’ heel—so many points of failure for a slightly creepy feature,” said iFixit, in an email. “But we’ll give Apple credit where it’s due: the easily replaceable speakers and battery are big repairability wins.”
The report noted that the Vision Pro is powered by an M2 chip with an 8-core CPU, a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 16GB of unified memory. Other specs include up to 1TB of storage and an all-new R1 chip that “processes input from 12 cameras, five sensors, and six microphones to ensure that content feels like it is appearing right in front of the user’s eyes.”
The Apple Vision Pro launched Friday in the U.S., and Apple said the headset will be available in additional countries later this year.
