• Apple chose a Chinese firm to assemble its Vision Pro thanks to its openness to “crazy ideas.”
• Shenzhen’s Luxshare is the sole assembler of the mixed reality headset, per the Financial Times.
• Apple is betting big on the device as it hopes to take virtual and augmented reality mainstream.

A Chinese firm responsible for assembling Apple’s Vision Pro had a vote of confidence from the tech giant thanks to its willingness to test “crazy” ideas, a new report says.

Luxshare, a contract manufacturer, has built close ties with Apple as the latter prepares to launch its mixed-reality headset. The Shenzhen-based firm has won “favor and increasing business” from the iPhone maker as it assembles the new hardware, the Financial Times reported.
