Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, has taken a subtle jab at Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro mixed reality headset, which is set to launch in early 2024. During an interview with Stratechery, Zuckerberg praised Meta’s Quest Pro headset, stating that it offers a more immersive experience compared to the Vision Pro. He emphasized that the Quest Pro’s outward-facing cameras allow users to see the real world, while the Vision Pro relies on pass-through video, which he believes is less natural. Zuckerberg also highlighted the Quest Pro’s lower price point of $1,000, compared to the Vision Pro’s expected cost of around $3,000. He suggested that the Quest Pro’s affordability could make it more accessible to a broader audience. While acknowledging Apple’s strengths in hardware and software integration, Zuckerberg expressed confidence in Meta’s ability to compete in the mixed reality space.
