Repair gurus iFixit have delved deeper than ever before into the Apple Vision Pro, and are impressed at what they have found. Namely, it turns out the dual displays are as impressive as Apple claimed. Apple claims that the displays provide “more pixels than a 4K TV for each eye,” and iFixit’s findings are equally as eyebrow-raising, stating that they have found that “you can fit more than 50 Vision Pro pixels into the space of a single iPhone 15 Pro pixel.” Take a look at the video above to find out what makes the Apple Vision Pro’s displays (and its construction) so unique. For part 1 of the teardown, breaking down the outer display of the AR headset, look below.

The repair gurus at iFixit have released their teardown video of the long-awaited Apple Vision Pro, giving us a peek inside the AR headset and shedding some light as to how some of its functions work.
EyeSight, the feature that presents a blurry, three-dimensional view of the Vision Pro wearer’s eyes on its outer OLED screen, has become a topic of debate among reviewers. In a tweet by iFixit, EyeSight is deemed “a repair Achilles’ heel,” citing multiple possible failure points for a feature that doesn’t do much.

In the full video, breaking down the Vision Pro feels a bit like entering a labyrinth, which is no surprise, since iFixit calls the device “Apple’s most complex piece of hardware yet.” So much is the case that the video is revealed to be part one of a series–there’s just too much going on in the Apple Vision Pro to fit into a single video. iFixit promises the next video is coming soon, but until then, enjoy a look at the disassembly of the Vision Pro’s outer casing, inward-facing cameras, many display layers, and lens motors.
