January 22, 2024  14:20

Repairing the Apple Vision Pro MR headset will cost as much as the most expensive MacBook - M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 1TB memory. According to Wccftech, the most expensive component, the EyeSight curved display, will cost $2,399 to repair.

Replacing scratched or broken EyeSight glass costs $799. And if the display itself breaks, you will have to pay $2,399 to repair it. For that kind of money, as already noted, you can buy the most expensive laptop from Apple. And if you pay another $1000, you can buy the new Vision Pro.

For headset buyers, Wccftech also recommends purchasing the AppleCare+ extended warranty, which costs $499 and is valid for two years, during which Apple undertakes to provide various types of repairs for free or at a deep discount.

Let us remind you that pre-orders for Apple Vision Pro in the US started on January 19, 2024. The new product is expected to appear in retail on February 2.

What apps will come pre-installed on Apple Vision Pro?

Apple Vision Pro, according to MacRumors, will be sold with 25 pre-installed applications, which can be divided into two categories - optimized and non-optimized. The former are distinguished by the fact that they have unique functions for spatial interaction with the interface. Unoptimized applications are copies of iOS versions.

The list of optimized ones will include:

  • App Store,
  • Encounter Dinosaurs,
  • Files,
  • Freeform,
  • Keynote,
  • Mail,
  • Messages,
  • Mindfulness,
  • Music,
  • Notes,

  • Reminders,
  • Shortcuts,

  • Voice Memos.

It should be noted that the gadget does not seem to receive services such as iWork, Pages, Clock, Contacs, Weather and Health.

According to MacRumors, soon after the launch of Apple Vision Pro, an optimized version of the FaceTime application may also appear, as well as a Capture service for taking photos and recording video on the headset cameras.
