Several Vision Pro owners are reporting identical, unexplained cracks appearing on the front glass of their headsets. The issue, first noticed by MacRumors, has been reported by five users on the r/VisionPro subreddit, with Engadget's review unit also experiencing the same problem.

Intriguingly, all reported cracks appear as vertical hairline fractures in the same location above the nose bridge. Affected users claim they took no actions that could explain the damage, such as dropping the device or storing it improperly. One user, @dornbirn, describes polishing the glass, attaching the soft cover, and storing it in the case before discovering the crack the next morning. Other users also report storing their headsets in cases or with the soft cover on.

It looks like Apple is still working on the Apple Vision Pro, its first headset introduced at WWDC 2023. The company said it would ship in early 2024 but did not specify a date. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, the headset could be delayed until March 2024.

Gurman says that Apple is still finalizing the device testing and the distribution plans for the headset. The Apple Vision Pro will be very limited in availability, starting in the U.S. and expanding to other countries gradually.
