IFixit: Vision Pro Teardown [video]
- bdcravens 3y agoSaw a TikTok earlier where someone drops it on its face, and then takes off the shattered "cover". It shatters clean, containing all of the glass in a unit that doesn't cut you, and it's still perfectly usable once that cover is removed.
- jsheard 3y agoI wonder how much Apple would charge to replace that glass cover. Since it's only glued around the edges and has no active components bonded to it (unlike most phone screens) it shouldn't be too difficult or expensive in the grand scheme of things, but who knows what the mark-up is like.

- jsheard 3y agoI just realised that people are probably going to end up wrapping their Vision Pros in hideous TPU cases aren't they. Like phones, where the "premium" glass backs end up entombed in cheap rubber because the "premium" material is slippery and explodes if you drop it.

- ProllyInfamous 3y agoYou mean the video where he drops it dozens of times, after banging it into a wall, and it doesn't shatter until a 10ft ceiling drop?! Incredible how glass is being doped, these days. Materials science would be a wonderful career for the aspriring, but directionless, young chap.
