This tearfown feels a bit like how I felt when I visited Paris. Like you stand there and look at everything and just can't imagine that a human or humans built all this. That's what this feels like.
This is the first video ive seen explaining that the battery cable infact is removable with the sim pin, everyone thinks is permanently attached, this means once the connecter is reverse engineered we can get larger battery packs and lighter ones!
You can't, because it's an Apple connector. In the best possible case, Apple charges other companies for using it, as they do with lighting connectors.
@@AirsoftKeksTV Technically, you can buy cables that aren't "MFI" or "Made For iPhone", which is the logo that Apple uses to certify that a cable is good for their devices. It's not illegal and not a "fake" cable, it's just not very common and not very popular because iPhone users loves to use "real" Apple stuff.
No, there will be a chip in the battery pack that is linked to the googles and they will only work with THAT battery pack (not even with another official battery pack from another pair.) They are a bunch of assholes like that. If you want to replace your battery you will need to go to an apple store and pay almost the same as a whole new device.
The pass through is by fair the best on any standalone device so that’s a bad start, surely if you’ve done a tear down of a Quest 3 you’ll have a good comparison
@@EliasGomezSainz I disagree, the worst part of the device is the front screen, it’s too dim and low resolution to display eyesight as intended from the way Apple marketed it. One of the best parts is the pass through, the way it has minimal distortion and warping. It’s also pretty good at adjusting to different light and exposure.
Vision of A New World Is Now Possible, how complex and high-risk the process is!!!! Thank you y'all who have participated and I wish to realize global goals together 😇 with love x 🙏
This device reminds me of the iPhone 1 both in terms of the innovations it brought and its importance in defining the paths that technology should converge in the coming years.
i saw a "durability test" video that showed the speaker arms breaking quite easily [before the glass visor], so it's at least nice to see that they seem to be easily replaced
Wow! a lot of stuff in there. All these screws and metal plates must be quite heavy. That eye adjuster screw + actuator also seem heavy. No doubt this will be much lighter in the future
*I (this word should always be capitalized) *see why *this costs (because "this" is singular) *much. Amazing *construction. This *is like *watching the *Ghost in the Shell birth *intro.
it costs so much because Apple decided to add a big ass oled panel the size of the Galaxy Z Fold in the front to do only one thing: making fake eyes. That oled panel alone added at least $200-$300 in cost. Factoring in Apple's minimum 50% margin and other related marketing and construction cost, you are talking about another $800-$1000 in added retail price for a part that no one will benefit from using.
Now imagine how in a few iterations all those connector connector screw screw bracket bracket that connect all the chips together get squeezed into a single SOC.
@@amvlabs5339 it is how it deal with the motion around it , your eyes motion and how it is seeing the angles of each part in front of it and even below it , how it is containing two processing units and how it have sensors and cameras more than any device ever made, it is not just computing system it is a piece of art
Steps to fix Apple Vision Pro: Step 1 - Contact Apple with your Apple Care account and hand them the broken unit. Step 2 - Accept the replacement unit from Apple. Step 3 - Fixed! :-P
Hey! Would be nice to know the weight of the "unnecessary" parts, just to see the potencial of a lighter version in the future... Glass, outside oled off and maybe plastic instead of metal? Great video though!
I'm pretty sure the power source can also be provided through a different USB-C cable, intended to plug into a USB-C power source. But with that, it would allow any 3rd-party battery. The battery pack they provide just allows for freedom of movement by being completely unplugged.
New week up as many FOMO in. But the AMSN2D story isn’t over yet. The only strat that works under all circumstances is DCA all the time with solid, large companies (not hyped ones).
Marvellous teardown, I was hoping you'd do this hardware! Love the editing and presentation 😎 wow, this headset would be a nightmarish handful to try and repair.
I wonder what the subpixel arrangement is like on that external screen. Because for vertical lenticular lenses, you would want a LCD style "striped" layout turned 90 degrees to avoid colors showing up differently for the angle you look at it. I have this Looking Glass portrait screen and it's laid out like that. But seeing as this is OLED, I'm not sure it can do the correct layout? Also, I don't know why everyone is questioning so much why there is a lenticular display in there. It was absolutely necessary to reach the goal they wanted, which is to keep a personal connection with the outside world. So you need to know when someone is looking at you, and that is only possible with a 3D display. Not to mention the weird depth disparity where the screen is a good couple of centimeters from the person's actual face. I think Looking Glass displays render "up to 100 views", sometimes I also hear around 40, so I would like to see some actual details reported about the amount of angles this Vision Pro screen shows.
That does sound believable at first, but even at apple's scale, it's hard to imagine ALL of the custom tooling, lenses, screen, machining, etc being very cheap.@@polska905
Correct me if I'm wrong but seems that they were attempting to recreate the 3D look of the eyes? They must have failed in that aspect because no one has mentioned it looking 3D, and just talks about how weird and blurry it looks.
@@alvallac2171puzzle, though I’d* Period is not necessary. Also, you missed the grammatical error in the second sentence: “I’d imagine it has a …” At least get all of the errors bro
@@yourmomsboyfriend3337 “puzzle though, I’d” isn’t wrong afaik. Putting the comma before “though” would suggest that it would have a repair ability score of -10 despite it being a puzzle, rather than because of it. “puzzle, though. I’d” does flow better though imo.
too high of a rating. This has to be in the negatives. Though I'm not sure what a 5/10 repairable headset looks like. This category of product looks pretty bad in terms of repairability.
I disagree. The rating is based on the ability to teardown AND put back together without destroying function. Fasteners and connectors are good. Glue and potting are bad. this is no worse than most phones -just more complex.
seems people don't get engineering here. This is a score of engineering not reparability. And some product like who cares about the later anyway. If any of u actually buy one then I may say OK then u just may make a reasonable point.
I like how polarized the comment section is. Half of it is praising Apple for how much they got in to the headset, and the other half is absolutely hammering them with how anti-consumer the method of construction is.
Funny thing is is that both sides are correct and neither are wrong. Yes it is poorly repairable and yes it is very advanced and jam packed. But I don’t see how much better they could have done on the repairability aside from replacing clips and glue with more screws here and there.
It’s a first gen device. I do not think they should be crucified for lack of repairability at this stage. Once we get to the gen 3/4 area we should expect to see significant improvements in repairable parts.
@@luther0013 History is not on your side with that opinion. Apple's products trend towards less repairability as they are iterated, not more. Most tech enthusiasts are aware of this.
@@DimitrisSartzetakis The kits are not that good, also they do not sell the parts, they sell entire assemblies. Meaning if you wanted to replace ONLY the screen you are out of luck as you have to spend the money to buy a whole assembly, which costs almost as much as a new phone. The kits also cost more then actually buying a new phone. Now a repairable device like the framework on the other hand, you can buy individual parts and do the repairs with nothing but a single screwdriver head.
They probably assembled and disassembled it many times so they are fine. Also they must use glue in as many places so the customer buys a new product and doesn't repair it.
Putting a connector onto a battery isn't really something ingenious. And you won't be replacing the strap or the speakers in a looooong time, if ever. Replacable lenses would be a really impressive move, because scratched lenses really hurt the experience
@@iowawalker you have to tear-down basically the entire headset to access the battery on the quest 2, lens protectors will probably become available soon using the same attachment method as the zeiss prescription lenses.
there are actually different straps (official name for the part with the speaker) you can swap in, such as the 300$(!!!) developer strap that exposes a USB-C port opposite the power connector and lets you upload apps from a mac
@@mactep1 you can use Quest 2 with a cable, so it's not like you would throw it away if battery wears out. And I really haven't heard complaints about wireless VR headsets having battery issues, because most people don't or can't use them as much. Anyway, Apple charges a chunky price for an additional battery for this thing
I noticed the need for cheap magnetic lens protectors also and love that they will be easy to take off if they get damaged. Most users will not need to replace anything inside the device itself that isn't designed to be easily swapped. @@mactep1
"The real world is experienced through a slightly laggy, 2010s webcam." Every single review i've seen of this thing said that the passthrough is amazing and almost lifelike. Am i missing something?
Probably over exxageration for dramatic effect or she hasn't experienced previous headsets that she thinks it's like that and can't fully appreciate how far we've gone
There’s an external camera calibration process. If you skip it or it goes poorly it does look like a 2010 webcam. During my demo I was so unimpressed until the calibration finished, then it looked great
Right? I watched Marques Brownlee's videos about the Vision Pro and he praised the passthrough as being near perfect, he was even able to play pingpong while wearing the headset.
Correct statement, but for wrong reason. AVP's engineering is very impressive not because of complexity, but despite it. Good engineering is about finding the simplest way to achieve the desired result. A popular saying: "“Anyone can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.” is related to that.
