[@chanmarr8118]

It’s all a scam. I’ve had Apple replace or fix my stuff without the care package. You have automatic warranties and I think for Apple it’s up to a year after purchase. I once needed my beats fixed and it was over a year and I kept pushing them until they said they can do a one time courtesy. I take very good care of my electronics and my main problems have been some faulty wiring or something.

[@tomasprochazka6198]

​@@chanmarr8118 the warranty covers manufacturing faults, the insurance is to cover your faults.

[@tipoomaster]

It looks like it's made so that the front glass takes the sacrifice and could be replaced without extensive surgery, all the cameras and sensors being fine

Yup that’s why it’s only 800 bucks to replace 😂

[@SPECTRA890]

​@@camerongump2744how did he doit then

[@ghassab8026]

I think part of the reason why it didn’t break because the walls seems to be made of gypsum and the floor isn’t ceramic , still impressive though!

[@colebot]

There was not a single drop during this video that didn't make me shudder

[@boboso7238]

That front piece of "glass" was probably designed for nothing more than fall and impact protection. Like a tear away for motocross, it was meant to be an expendable part of the product long term. The speaker thing is definitely concerning. If someone is picking them up by the straps or carrying them that way long term, how long before that speaker area becomes damaged.

[@Utrilus]

The cost of replacing that glass is 799, or 299(apple care)+499. lol. Or so it seems from a quick google.

[@BKWalrus]

I usually hate these types of videos. BUT…this is the first useful and hopeful. I actually watched to the end. Great news that the front glass is mostly a “cover.” Replacements will be on the market soon. Possibly silver, gold, and blue mirrored! :)

[@HarrisonBorbarrison]

I feel like you’re the first to sacrifice a Vision Pro like this. You’ve made history.

[@HarrisonBorbarrison]

[@Ph0enix7373]

The durability of this thing is crazy. Also I have seen pictures of the little speaker pods being removed from the main unit so I think they might be replaceable? If so then if a regular person broke their speaker pods and had apple care they could probably just go and have it replaced at the apple store.

[@halifaxhiker]

Yah the sides pop off with a sim eject tool and no disassembly. Would take a few seconds to replace.

[@tescoprimark1299]

It’s good to see this, so Apple can improve it. That first glass layer can be replaced by plastic instead or just remove it.

[@RadBunny2269]

I think the outer cover isn’t pure glsss but a glass & some type of polymer mixture.

[@tomasprochazka6198]

Nah, the glass is more resilient to scratches and the thin plastic layer adds some strength, and prevents it from breaking into small pieces. Its main purpose is to protect the sensors, the eye screen is just a gold coating to justify the high price of basically VR headset. Nothing crucial.

[@arjundureja]

[@DC_1984]

I'm impressed how the Vision Pro parts break-away to distribute the impact forces when the drops happen. After watching this, I think Apple did an amazing job protecting the most expensive part of the system by having the attached parts break away like that. Probably why they choose magnetic attachments instead of a more secure attaching method. Great vid...

[@JamesSmith-rj1en]

On one hand, this is super impressive engineering, but on another more upsetting hand, this video reveals just how clever Apple’s marketing is. We’ve been elevating the perceived value of the product in part because of this “hard to fabricate,” “sculpted” glass and it’s effectively a curved screen protector with shiny plastic underneath. 😅

If Apple remove that $3,000 glass part, the Vision Pro would cost $500 and weight much less. Apple put that glass for marketing the premium feel. But you don't really need that glass.

[@CarloGrams]

In the official bill of materials released, the display alone costs more than a Quest 3 Pro headset. Then it’s the double-CPU’s, then the 17 sensors. The glass in the front of VisionPro is the third cheapest component in that whole product.

[@kevinwu8911]

my heart literally skipped a beat when you dropped it

[@mgjfile]

It seems that the front glass panel acts like a glass protector, similar to the one we put on a smartphone, cool. Just a side note about the drop test: your walls are hollow, and your floor has parquet. Therefore, this particular drop test is impressive for a typical US house, but may not be applicable to those built with concrete, bricks, and tiles, where the glass may break at the second drop.

LOL he found the Vision Pro so useless that he started slamming it into walls, dropping in on the ground and making a video about it as a drop test. Why not, what else is there to talk about it? In all seriousness I am not a hater of it and can see some potential but unless there are some cool games for it I am not sure how this has any real use at the moment. A $2000 price point with lot of stuff for it may make this a contender as the next big thing. They have to convince me that this is the thing I got to have that I did not know I needed.

[@troughle]

Only Sam can do a video like this. Very durable product on the abuse it survived. Apple has a win for version 1. A few releases and then it will be widely affordable.

[@brayknapp]

I wonder if Apple intentionally designed the speaker/band to be the weak point. Similar to how cars have a bumper/crumple zone that is designed to take the majority of the force from the impact. I assume it’s much cheaper to replace the speaker/band than to replace the whole Vision Pro. With that being said, I’m no scientist and I don’t know if this realistically could be the case. Just a thought.

[@Seven3four1]

Thought the title was clickbate but 100% legit. Brave or extremely rich either way thanks for taking one for the community.

[@Clasam09]

What you're experiencing is laminated glass. It's designed to break in that way, to prevent shards flying everywhere. Sorry to say that it's really not that impressive, since it's....designed to be that way. Also, you have to remember that something is only as strong as it's weakest link. So I think the speakers and headband damage is more worrisome than the the display is robust. Hope they improve things for the next version.
