We took apart the Vision Pro, and it is a phenomenal feat of engineering! There is just so much packed in this headset. Some highlights: The curved bubble shell is a real bear to get open. We're pretty good at this kind of thing, and still managed to (slightly) break the glass. I would love to see the manufacturing process for this complex shape!

We've just posted our look inside the iPhone 14, and it turns out that Apple has totally redesigned it to make it more repairable. ifixit.com/News/64865/iph… This might just look like iFixit opening yet another phone, but iPhones don't open that way! They open from the front!

Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems. John Deere has repeatedly told regulators that farmers can't be trusted to repair their own equipment. This foundational work will pave the path for farmers to retake control of the equipment that they own. #RightToRepair

Let me share my life’s story and why Apple's repair announcement is a big deal to me. Way back in 2003, I was trying to fix my clamshell iBook and googled for the service manual. All I found was sites that had been removed because of a DMCA takedown. /thread I muddled my way through and fixed the computer, but it was harder than it should have been. I broke tabs and latches. And out of that frustration, I started iFixit to make sure no one had to suffer like I had.

I have spent the last two months heads down working on a huge project with the assistance of 200 volunteer librarians. It has daunted, exhausted, intimidated, and inspired us.

I’m proud to launch iFixit’s Medical Device manual database:

I spent the last few days getting to know the materials Apple used in their MacBook keyboard. Because Apple doesn’t design these keyboards to be repaired, our analysis was destructive. A 2019 MacBook Pro died to bring you this information. /thread The butterfly mechanism is powered by a stainless steel spring. That spring is covered by a plastic membrane. This membrane is below the butterfly, and separate from the ingress-protection that they added in the last generation.
