Apple has announced the prices for repairing their new Vision Pro headset, and they are not cheap. Without AppleCare Plus insurance, repairing the cracked cover glass will cost $799, while other types of damage will run you a hefty $2,399. These prices do not include shipping or taxes. However, Apple will not fix the cover glass if the damage was done accidentally. Uninsured owners will only receive repairs for manufacturing defects.For those with AppleCare Plus, the costs are considerably lower. Glass repair will cost $300, and other damages will also be reduced to $300. Battery service is covered, although the cost is not specified. AppleCare Plus also expands hardware coverage, allowing unlimited repairs for accidental damage, at a cost of $300 per repair. The experts available through AppleCare Plus can help with software issues and provide assistance with visionOS and other first-party apps.
AppleCare Plus for the Vision Pro is available as a monthly plan for $24.99 or a fixed term plan for $499 for two years. It can be purchased at checkout or within 60 days of purchasing the headset online. The Vision Pro itself is already an expensive investment, with additional accessories such as extra batteries, travel cases, and lens inserts adding to the cost.
