  1. There's plastic on top of the glass, so they might as well have made it fully plastic and prevent the cracks or fully glass and prevent if from scratching at a level 3 with deeper grooves at level 4, which is 3 whole levels below glass out of a total of 10 levels.

  2. Apple repeadedly fails at basic mechanical engineering challages.
    My first iPhone (6 plus) bent and died. (Mechanics, Bending beam: 2nd semester of mech. engineering)
    My first Macbook (2011) overheated and died (Thermal dynamics, heat exchange: 4th semester of mech engineering)

    Save to say i don't use apple products any more.

  3. Eh this line is soooo perfect… could it be two pieces of glass that are fused together and that bond breaks? This seems more likely to me.

    Also another thought I had was… to all the people asking to have their glass repaired, they’re just going to replace it with the same faulty glass. Wait a few months for an actual fix or design change, then get it fixed.

  4. I'd be surprised if this had anything to do with heat, first impressions is that this is because the glass is under tension when its on someones head, the straps pulling back at each side round your face will create tension across the surface of the glass and the indent for the nose will focus all the stress on that point. over time with the tension bein applied and releaved as it goes on and off someones head its really not surprising that it cracks.

  5. It’s got to be user applied mechanical force. I wonder if the frame support is distributing that force evenly. Like they built the flex in to allow for when people put it on their face, but they didn’t consider the inflexibility of the glass.

  6. If cool air is entering through the bottom, that's the point seeing the most "shock" – going from a high heat, quickly to a lower (closer to ambient) heat. Everything past that point is getting air warmed by the initial sink. The lower part of the glass is seeing the highest fluctuations of temperature. I'm sure that, plus the weight of the thing, and the stresses of the glass just existing in the shape that it does, very well could be the culprit. Curious to see what people – who actually know what they're talking about – think about the situation.

    I wonder if we'll see a second generation with less glass coverage – maybe a section of visible aluminum on the front for the first few centimeters or so, to delay "cold" air from making [fast/pressurized] contact with the glass.

  7. Amazing Amazing Amazing… It's amazing that we will make excuses for Apple 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Horrible product. $3500 yall. Get serious. If this was Samsung you all would be dissing them like crazy

  8. Aluminum expands faster than glass. So If the curved glas is directly glued to the Aluminum frame… then it can crack the screen with temperature fluctuations.
    Curved glas can crack faster on a different pressure angel.

  9. I paid €8 for my (android phone) case in 2001 and its still holding up great. It has a few marks and its boring black but its still looking good, doing its job and most definitely not gross. From a small distance you can hardly see that it isn't new.

    You only pay €50 or more for a case if you wan't a really fancy one that looks cool and then its a big problem if it does not hold up.

  10. Looks like it's probably not a single piece of glass, but two pieces fused together. Regular thermal expansion and compression might be stressing the joint where the pieces are fused, and causing it to fail, exposing where the two pieces were joined.

  11. Like I’ve been saying version 2 will get rid of the screen and glass in the front as it’s pointless and come with controllers.

  12. Well, Vision Pro is mostly for developers right now, all the developers who have missed the VR/AR/XR in the last decade with the Oculus & Meta will have to learn the skills and those developers are mostly Apple developers and Web Devs who are most of the devs out there. WE will have to learn the skills of VR development of the last decade and learn tricks from game devs, then make tools because Apple dev tools are always crap. So I foresee at least 3 years to have a less small but growing ecosystem. Also because coding for Apple requires to learn Swift.

  13. It never ceases to amaze me how little some professional tech youtubers/podcasters actually understand about like…the very barebones fundamentals of how things work. "Curves are weak! Because what about that one phone that had curved glass, and uhhh IT DUN BROKE!"

    Yes, this shocking insight into the inner workings of the world. I guess flat surfaces are stronk! That's why submarines and airplanes are box-shaped. After all, if round things were so strong, then why did this one product break? Can't possibly be any more depth to that question than that…

  14. maybe small headed users pulling the strap tightly, may put just the littlest more tension on the device – the glass – causing a crack right in the middle pinch point
