![]() For most it will be a simple cable switch for charging, one of which is included in the box. How much of a difference that makes will depend on the number of Lightning accessories you have. The second big new feature for the iPhone in 2023 is the switch from the Lightning port to USB-C for charging and accessories. “Lidar and a camera provide data for a 3d map of the locality to be created on which displayed content can be overlaid.View image in fullscreen A full charge with a 30W or greater USB-C power adaptor takes 2 hours, 14 minutes, hitting 50% in 29 minutes and 90% in 1 hour, 25 minutes before slowly charging to full. “On the subject of image processing, Apple said it has an M2 chip running visionOS, vision algorithms, and delivering graphics, and a chip called R1 processing input from the cameras, sensors and microphones, and streaming images to the displays.” Our own Engineer In Wonderland added a few thoughts about the device, when it was first announced back in June 2023: You can see a video of the teadown of the Apple Vision Pro below: The final score for the device? iFixit says it is awarding the Vision Pro a provisional repairability score of 4/10 – “could be worse, but repair won’t be easy”. Did they finally hit the drop dead date and miss their targeted performance? Could it be a late-stage manufacturing error? Regardless, we’re sure bringing it to market was a difficult decision.” “It’s dim, it’s low-resolution, and it adds a lot of bulk, weight, complexity, and expense to the most weight-sensitive part of the headset. “So why, when this thing clearly took years and years to create-and is Apple’s latest bet on the future of computing-did Apple fail to live up to their own standards with the EyeSight screen? While appreciating a lot of the tech involved, the iFixit team focuses on the EyeSight display. “Instead of terminating with a USB-C plug, it connects to the battery pack with what looks like a proprietary oversized Lightning connector, which you release using a paperclip or SIM-removal tool.” EyeSight display One downside is that is the proprietary battery cable connection used (it magnetically snaps into place and then twists to lock) and the plug at the other end of the cable is “unforgivable”. ![]() To get inside, we had to soften some perimeter adhesive and release a set of single-use metal clips-then twist open Torx screws galore.” The cells themselves are 184 g apiece, surprisingly only about half the weight of the full battery pack. ![]() “The battery pack alone weighs 353 grams and is made of three iPhone-sized batteries, delivering a grand total of 35.9 Wh, more than double an iPhone 15 Pro’s 17.3 Wh. The device’s weight (with the battery the Vision Pro weighs over a kilogram), and its balance and spread, is a topic of (generally positive) discussion. You can read a full description of the “insane disassembly process” here, which also includes a lot of information about the technology and principles behind the EyeSight display and its lenticular lenses (displaying different images when viewed from different angles). Launched last week, in the United States only, the Cupertino kit is priced at $3,499.
