Extremely sharp images are something those who have been wearing and experiencing the Apple Vison Pro can feel very clearly. According to iFixit’s removal results, it’s probably because of the ultra-high pixel density display that Apple has for this glass.
In the Apple Vison Pro teardown video, part two, iFixit showed us how much more we can see than the inside of the glass. Accordingly, the specific type of background used inside the Apple Vison Pro is the micro OLED, which can also be called OLED on silicon. According to iFixit, “TSMC supplied the silicon substrate for Sony to develop the micro OLED structure on it.”
According to iFixit, “Apple Vision Pro has a PPI of around 3,380. However, another important parameter of this glass is PPD – pixels per degree, which means the number of pixels visible on each degree of the field of view. Specifically, the calculations show that the Apple Vision Pro has an average PPD of about 34 pixels in a 100-degree field of view. Compared to Quest 3, the Vision Pro’s field of view may be a little narrower, but the image quality is much higher.”
Another aspect is that iFixit is also interested in Apple’s claim that there are 23 million pixels on the two displays of the Apple Vision Pro. The original, iFixit says, “You may have heard them explain that each wallpaper has more pixels than a 4K TV. This is a smart way of marketing because they still use 4K but don’t even say that their wallpaper has a 4K resolution.”
When looking at the background under the microscope, iFixit assumes that “every pixel on the Vision Pro screen is about 7.5 microns in size. [For easy visualization] You can insert these 50 pixels of Vision Pro into one pixel on your iPhone screen. The total screen size is approximately 27.5 mm x 24 mm. Dividing this size by the size of the pixel, we’ll determine the brightness of somewhere above 3660 x 3200 pixels, which is equivalent to 12.1 million pixels shining. These figures do not satisfy the current commercial definition of 4K and, of course, not all 4K TVs are ‘compliant’ with this.”
However, iFixit affirms that the pixel density on the Apple Vision Pro screen is very high and this is what enabled the screen to display extremely sharp content.
In addition, iFixit also tested the Apple Vision Pro battery. The battery consists of three 15.36Wh batteries stacked together, totaling 46.08Wh, higher than the previously described 35.9Wh.
