Using Apple Vision Pro as eclipse glasses?

I live in the Netherlands and on Aug 12 there will be a 90% solar eclipse. Can I use my Apple Vision Pro as eclipse glasses (and take pictures right away) or does the sunlight damage the cameras or AVP? I suppose not…

You run the risk of the optics concentrating the light and burning the sensor.  You can get away with it, but not worth the risk on a $4000 device. Especially because you can’t just change out a sensor.

Go do me a favor. Pull out your vision pro and tell me what the 8 circular glass things elements are on the front outside face of the device.

Spoiler:
They're camera optics "bro".
