Title: iFixit Reveals Apple Vision Pro’s Impressive Specs in Detailed Teardown
Heartland Magazine – In a recently released video by iFixit, renowned specialists in gadget teardowns, the internal components of Apple’s first Spatial Computer, the Vision Pro, were detailed. The teardown shed light on several key features of the device, cementing its position as a leading player in the augmented reality (AR) market.
One of the standout features of the Vision Pro is its micro OLED screens, boasting an impressive resolution of 3,660 x 3,200 pixels per eye. Although slightly below the 4K mark claimed by Apple, the device still guarantees a remarkable visual experience with its impressive 3,380 pixels per inch (PPI). Additionally, the Vision Pro surpasses competitor Meta Quest 3 in pixel per degree (PPD) metrics, offering 34 PPD compared to the latter’s 25 PPD, providing users with a more detailed and immersive viewing experience.
The teardown also revealed intriguing details about the battery pack of the Vision Pro. Constructed from a single sheet of aluminum, the battery pack proves to be quite a challenge to open, with the iFixit team resorting to a hammer and chisel. Inside, three iPhone-sized batteries with a cumulative power of 46.08Wh were found, surpassing Apple’s official rating of 35.9Wh. This should provide users with extended usage time for their Vision Pro device.
One notable departure from Apple’s usual practice lies in the Vision Pro’s design. Unlike previous Apple devices that prioritize parts pairing, the Vision Pro embraces interchangeable components. However, iFixit’s assessment still awards the device a low repairability score of 4 out of 10, indicating potential difficulties for users attempting DIY repairs.
In an exciting development, the Vision Pro recently received a software update, visionOS 1.1 Beta, enhancing the device’s capabilities with improved and more realistic Personas avatars. Users will have to rescan their faces and create new Persona avatars after downloading the update to enjoy these enhanced features fully.
With these groundbreaking features, the Apple Vision Pro continues to solidify its reputation as a premier spatial computing device in the augmented reality realm. Its high-resolution screens and superior viewing metrics, in addition to an impressive battery pack and versatile design, make it a compelling choice for tech enthusiasts seeking an unparalleled AR experience.
