Then iFixit’s first teardown of the headset may be fairly enlightening for you.
Evidently, the Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional appears to be like like an extremely sophisticated headset. The video itself has been shortened to a cushty 6 minutes, however it undoubtedly would not appear to be a straightforward job. Because of this any Imaginative and prescient Professional repairs required shall be tedious for the technician assigned to the duty.
Do you perceive what I imply? Whereas eradicating the strap and different exterior parts appears pretty easy, the Imaginative and prescient Professional headset itself is sophisticated. Particularly not as a result of the totally different shows include a number of totally different parts.
Oddly sufficient, nevertheless, you possibly can nonetheless take away the preliminary layers of outer glass with out affecting the efficiency of the headset itself – though EyeSight appears to be like even scarier than common.
To my untrained eye, the within of the headset appears to be like like a jumble of cables, screws, and parts that I’d undoubtedly break if I a lot as checked out them the incorrect means.
