All devices are susceptible to breakage, particularly those that are designed to be carried around with you on a regular basis. However, you'd hope that a $3,500 wearable would be more robust than most. Think again it seems, as some Apple Vision Pro users have reported unsightly cracks appearing down the middle of the outer screen after light usage, and while some have had their headsets freely replaced, one user has reported being told to pay a significant AppleCare+ deductible to get it fixed.
While you might assume the headsets in question had been subject to some heavy abuse, most of the affected users report that the device was treated carefully (via Gizmodo). Some users have reported cracks appearing while the device is in its travel case while charging, which has fuelled speculation on the r/Vision Pro subreddit that the headset may not properly enter sleep mode when the battery is being charged, causing the device to heat up, expand, and crack the screen at the weakest point of the glass.
