A new teardown by iFixit of the Apple Vision Pro teardown reveals, predictably, a slew of high-end components.
The Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that transforms how people work, collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment. Vision Pro seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world and unlocks powerful spatial experiences in visionOS, controlled by the most natural and intuitive inputs possible — a user’s eyes, hands, and voice. An all-new App Store provides users with access to more than 1 million compatible apps across iOS and iPadOS, as well as new experiences that take advantage of the unique capabilities of Vision Pro.

We knew it would be tough to get inside (it was). We hoped we wouldn’t break anything (we did). But we knew it would be worth it to see all the new technology Apple squeezed into this thing, from the EyeSight display to the sensor array, the external battery pack to the R1 chip. We brought in the heavy hitters for this teardown, including x-ray views of the frame and high-resolution microscope shots of the displays…
This modular design is similar to the AirPods Max, which we quite liked. Wearables are so easy to damage that it makes good sense to have easily swappable speaker modules. We tried to go further and pry the speaker out of the silicon frame, and instantly broke the molded cables inside. That’s all right, you’re not going to need to pry the speaker modules open.

The headset runs on an M2 Mac chip, in tandem with the new R1 chip—which is specifically responsible for processing the input from 12 cameras, the LiDAR sensor, and the TrueDepth camera, all with a minimum of latency. With AR, you need to project the camera view of the real world into the user’s eyes as fast as possible, otherwise their perceived motions won’t match up with what they see, which is a fast ticket to Vomitsville.
To keep up, the R1 uses a real-time operating system. That means that tasks are always executed in a fixed amount of time.
