iFixit teardown of Steam Frame finds magnetic lens stacks and a hard-to-reach fan

iFixit tore down the Steam Frame and found the headstrap, battery, speakers and foams detach as one unit, while the optical modules are held magnetically on a rail. The fan is called the headset's clearest missed opportunity, the battery is glued in without stretch-release tabs and the controller sticks are soldered. No repairability score was given because iFixit has no scorecard for VR headsets yet.

• Headstrap with battery, speakers and foams detaches as a single unit
• Optical modules sit on magnetic rails; access screws appear at the widest IPD
• Fan called the clearest missed opportunity, requiring deep disassembly to replace
• Battery is glued without stretch-release tabs and controller sticks are soldered
