The repair experts at iFixit have just released the second part of their Apple Vision Pro teardown (along with an accompanying blog post). It’s revealed a bunch of fascinating facts about Apple’s high-end device just days after iFixit’s first investigation tore into the device – and most intriguingly, the demolition process has revealed a major reason why the headset is quite so eye-wateringly expensive.
Before the Vision Pro launched, leaked reports claimed it would come with a 4K resolution for each eye, promising incredible visual clarity unmatched by any rival device. At the time of release, Apple said the headset’s resolution was higher than that of a 4K TV, although the company didn’t actually say the Vision Pro crossed the 4K threshold itself, which is a 3840x2160 resolution.
