The cable that connects the battery to the main unit can be easily removed by pressing a button without the need for special equipment. The battery side can be removed using a 'thin, hard rod' in the same way as when pulling out the SIM card slot of an iPhone.

The cover glass on the front of the main unit is fixed with adhesive, so warm it up and then insert a pick to peel it off. Because the cover glass is rounded, there were some cracks that occurred when removing it.




Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, has posted a photo of Apple Vision Pro with the cover glass removed.




When someone comes close to you wearing Apple Vision Pro, your device will be able to see around you so you can see them, and your eyes will also be visible on your device. Apple calls this pseudo-representation of the user's eyes ' EyeSight .' According to iFixit, which disassembled Apple Vision Pro, EyeSight is expressed three-dimensionally by using three layers: an organic EL display (OLED), an enlargement layer, and a lenticular layer, rather than a single display like a lenticular .



However, some people have complained that EyeSight is ``blurry, dim, and difficult to recognize.'' iFixit also points out, ``Apple Vision Pro's EyeSight seems to be the Achilles' heel of repair.Although it is a slightly creepy function, there are too many failure points.''




Other small parts are basically fixed with screws, so disassembly itself doesn't seem to be that difficult, but there are a lot of small parts anyway, and they are often made with great precision. I understand. For that reason, he praised iFixit as a 'very ambitious' product. iFixit traditionally publishes a device's repairability score, but Apple Vision Pro doesn't publish this score, pointing out that while 'repairability isn't great, there are some positives.' doing.
