As someone DEEP into DIY repair, and strongly against how most companies design things to be anti-repair, thank you for this. I do not personally own this device, but those who do, can learn from your extremely risky and expensive tear down. Please give this man a like and sub. This video deserves it.
You should think about how hard cars have become to work on, many makes are now nearly unfixable economically, made to be assembled only, if something fails, especially like the water pump which is part of the timing section, the engine is basically junk, often cases tearing it down reveals more damage or hardware simply breaks leaving you little choice but to dump more hours and money into something that's worth less than the cost of repair. Love supercars, buy an older 911, those were made to be maintained, something like a Lamborghini is a money pit. If I wanted these goggles, I'd just wait a year or two for the cheap copies and be happy I'm not supporting apple.
Hey bro. I work in tech too. If you happen to skim over this, I want to say you did a pretty good job for a first attempt especially without a guide for reference. Unfortunately, not much you can do about the flex, possibly they’ll have a new one on sentrix sometime soon (lol) keep practicing on it and you’ll be one of the few who will actually take those in for repairs. Also, who cares if Ifixit beat you to this. Real technicians always look at more than one video.
Thanks Micheal, appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Probably won't have parts available for this thing for a really long time if ever but we'll see!
JerryRigEverything has pulled one to pieces before this video. He tested the durability of the glass with hard tools and discovered that the glass is basically plastic laminate and does not stand up to mild scuffing.
@@BWA85 i know that guy his style is different and he is big on TH-cam but this guy i guess was first who dismantled and reassembled and fully working... even FIXIT did after this guy...so he is my best now
You are a brave young man! I've spent the last 40 years tearing down component level electronics… Again I say you are very brave. Congratulations on it still working.
Took about 3-4 hours to fully reassemble this. I made the executive decision to leave out those screws anchoring the front camera array assembly so that the next video would be a little easier. Thanks for watching!
@@PhoneRepairGuru I'm really curious if those tape like covers that were over the back side of the processors was RF shielding (since the frame around it gives that vibe) and what side-effects it may have given I didn't see you replace it during re-assembly.
Dude, he removed the screen in one piece without knowing how it's glued. This is a learning process, so it's better to scratch his than customers screen because im sure there will be a lot of work for him on these things in the future 😆
Bro this the best teardown video I've seen on the Internet. You even beat ifixit. I'll never be able to afford one of these or want too. But the teardown kept me so engaged. Thank you
I think the most commonly broken part will be the arms the headband straps to. That's the first thing that broke in that drop test video from apple track. It could explain why they're easily removed actually, apple can sell you a replacement pair for $500 or somethin and not need to do any repairs themselves lol
6:02 You can repair flex cables by soldering wires to it. Its not easy but its doable. 9:14 And with the knowledge you provided and better tools I believe its possible to open it while causing minimal to no external damage.
You cannot as easily with flat flex antennas. The antennas are calculated to radiate and receive energy at a specific frequency which is a function of the surface area and shape of the antenna. If you look closely at those things you'll often see a complex geometry of different widths and sizes of lines and rectangles. It's not as simple as soldering the flat flex back together with jumper wires and for certain applications antenna performance will be deeply compromised. Unfortunately I've definitely experienced this first hand.
@@stefanbehrendsen330 Reparability will depend on the size of the flex cable and its isolating material. If its just cheap plastic yes it will melt away and be extremely hard to repair. As for the geometry I believe it still better to have a "compromised" antena than no antena at all.
I waited days for this video, and you did not disappoint. I can’t believe the Apple pro is that much technology in a nutshell. I have my likes and dislikes about Apple but this one product cuts the cake.
It only seems that way because you don't keep track of what other companies do, VR has been out for a very long time now and other companies like rift, now meta, htc, Sony, valve have all made VR headsets that blow this thing out of the water in terms of performance. Since all that technology has been released and there is a market for it, Apple slipped its way in almost a decade later copying what all the other companies have done and then slapping a massive price on it because it's Apple. Innovative? Seems more like they waited for the best of what others could provide and then just copied the design.
That’s a lot of technology in such a small area. I think the price is justified. I wouldn’t buy one but I appreciate everything that went into making this AND to provide a warranty too.
Wait till you see what happens when you remove the cable attached to the external battery of this thing. Apple gone be selling lightnight pro and pro max , this was just a little teaser to showcase 💀💀
this is how I got into electronics as a kid. I had an uncle that noticed that I liked to take things apart. So he started to give me old TV's and radios. 😂
@@BusterDarcybecause repairable phones are also the size of books? Oh wait, they are slimmer and smaller than IPhones because making tech repairable is about planning, not space.
974 people didn't like you destroying that thing... I'm fine with it, without a comprehensive guide, this must have been hell. Thank you for this amazing video !

Uh, "demonstrating it's repairability"? Did we watch the same video? I've been fixing electronics since 2001 and this thing is an utter nightmare. I'd refuse to repair this if someone brought one in to me -- not because I couldn't do it, but because it's literally made to be difficult to repair. But I guess that's par for the course for an apple product. I have never, nor will I own an apple product while they remain against right to repair.
Wow. The way it's put together is actually quite remarkable. Show this to someone even just 30 years ago and you would be held captive forever, because it's no doubt alien technology...yet. here we are today, mass-producing these things, like it's nothing.
So the two flexible pads are 100% the wifi antennas. These are really similar parts to iPad antennas.

This teardown is awesome by the way - you did far better than a lot of people, myself included, would have.
I wish you would weigh some of the key components on your tear down. Just curious on how much the glass weighs ? but great job. Thanks for the tear down.
do you have any plans to repair laptops too? I'm looking forward for it. I saw you few times in shorts but I couldn't find you but at last my algorithm showed your youtube videos to me! Thanks for making these videos I love it!
the first layer of glass is actually a built in screen protector, if you break it you can peel it off. The same clip where you showed the broken glass shows it.

tbf they provided how it went together. their video was helpful for anyone else looking to do a teardown as well
they tore it apart to look at every layer, it wasnt a repair tutorial

It’s really cool to see this teardown, it sucks the vision pro isn’t very repairable. But the tech is still really cool.
The way everything is layered in so tightly if they did make it repairable it’d swell to the size of a motorcycle helmet
