Apple Vision Pro DURABILITY Test! Worth $3500?
Ғылым және технология
The Apple Vision Pro headset is made of heavy materials like aluminum and glass...so how does this affect bumps and drops while wearing the device? Here's an in-depth durability and drop test to see how it holds up! Thanks to my friend Noah for helping me film this: / nrubin29

It’s all a scam. I’ve had Apple replace or fix my stuff without the care package. You have automatic warranties and I think for Apple it’s up to a year after purchase. I once needed my beats fixed and it was over a year and I kept pushing them until they said they can do a one time courtesy. I take very good care of my electronics and my main problems have been some faulty wiring or something.

I think part of the reason why it didn’t break because the walls seems to be made of gypsum and the floor isn’t ceramic , still impressive though!

That front piece of "glass" was probably designed for nothing more than fall and impact protection. Like a tear away for motocross, it was meant to be an expendable part of the product long term. The speaker thing is definitely concerning. If someone is picking them up by the straps or carrying them that way long term, how long before that speaker area becomes damaged.

The cost of replacing that glass is 799, or 299(apple care)+499. lol. Or so it seems from a quick google.
This is an insane video and yet it's exactly what we needed to see - thank u so much man for going all the way
Apple is just loving all the content creators who have bought one and are making content about Vision Pro. It really is a huge success already. I can't scroll KZread without seeing a video about Vision Pro.
The durability of this thing is crazy. Also I have seen pictures of the little speaker pods being removed from the main unit so I think they might be replaceable? If so then if a regular person broke their speaker pods and had apple care they could probably just go and have it replaced at the apple store.

We all watched that last Genius Bar episode and were not surprised by this video. Sam is an absolute mad lad. 😂
This is really great video! I’m so glad to watch this.
hey dude, how much does it weigh without the glass and is it more comfort on the face?
It’s good to see this, so Apple can improve it. That first glass layer can be replaced by plastic instead or just remove it.

Nah, the glass is more resilient to scratches and the thin plastic layer adds some strength, and prevents it from breaking into small pieces. Its main purpose is to protect the sensors, the eye screen is just a gold coating to justify the high price of basically VR headset. Nothing crucial.
I cannot believe you did a drop test on a $3500 device and no one else thought of this! This was f*cking amazing! Great job Apple on the durability!

as much I like you and your Apple videos this was not cool you lost a viewer on this video not the channel; but this video
I'm impressed how the Vision Pro parts break-away to distribute the impact forces when the drops happen. After watching this, I think Apple did an amazing job protecting the most expensive part of the system by having the attached parts break away like that. Probably why they choose magnetic attachments instead of a more secure attaching method. Great vid...
I had a demo today, but the light seal was messed up, so everything was blurry. But some of the stuff they showed was still very impressive. It is 100% heavy, though, although that could have also been amplified by the incorrect fit I had

On one hand, this is super impressive engineering, but on another more upsetting hand, this video reveals just how clever Apple’s marketing is. We’ve been elevating the perceived value of the product in part because of this “hard to fabricate,” “sculpted” glass and it’s effectively a curved screen protector with shiny plastic underneath. 😅

Jerry Rig Everything screws up expensive things all the time and no one criticizes him. So that's fine with me.

I never thought I would live to see the time period where the success of tech is determined by a single drop test. Truly smashing.
THANKS FOR THIS!! ❤
I don't think this will survive against European walls tho, but tbh it is really impressive
I think this video makes sense. Someone has to try what happens if you hit the product while using daily.
Thanks for making this! It’s tech gore but we needed someone to do it.

In the official bill of materials released, the display alone costs more than a Quest 3 Pro headset. Then it’s the double-CPU’s, then the 17 sensors. The glass in the front of VisionPro is the third cheapest component in that whole product.

Impressed with it!!! Love that you technically don't have to replace the glass if you do break it! The speaker situation does kinda suck tho. It reminds me of how the old non-braided lighting cables would constantly break. Perhaps some braided material sides on the next iteration lol

Great unique content!
Wow!Good video bro 🤙🏻😎
Ok important question: what happens if you expose the lenses to sunlight? On Quest and other devices, the LCD will get fried in seconds. Wondering what happens with Vision Pro
How much weight is removed when taking that front glass off? Maybe it becomes a mod to reduce weight
Is the Headset a lot lighter without this screen ?
I knew it 🤣🤣🤣 proud of you bro! 👊🏼🔥
Removing the front glass will likely reduce passthrough and tracking quality because the cameras were calibrated with the glass in front of them.
With every hard hit , I feel like my heart drops
This is such a funny video 😅 i found it hilarious, more please
Sam! Please test if you can use Vision Pro without the light seal and what the experience is like? I wonder if without the light seal it will be more like glasses?
What is the weight of the front glass alone?
I am shocked you didn't stress more how worrying it is the weakest part is the left and right strap connectors with integrated speakers. That was an issue with other HMDs like Quest 2. It is one of the most likely places for users to pull and move when putting it on and off. On the bright side, yeah the glass durability was crazy impressive actually.
How many views is the break-even point for the cost of the Apple vision Pro?
