Apple’s Vision Pro headset more expensive than it should be: Mark Zuckerberg
Apple on Monday unveiled its much-anticipated augmented reality (AR) headset Vision Pro at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023. Even though Vision Pro has been released, many kinds of reactions are coming now.
Meanwhile, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also given his response.
According to a report by The Verge, Zuckerberg has discussed Vision Pro with his staff. He says that it is seven times more expensive than Meta’s Quest.
Zuckerberg said, ‘This could be a good tool for the future of computing. But it is not a tool as expected.’
According to Zuckerberg, MetaQuest serves as a means to build virtual communities and increase engagement, while Apple’s Vision Pro is built for single use.
Unlike Meta Quest and Meta Quest Pro, Apple’s Vision Pro uses eye movements and hand gestures for control. This eliminates the need for controllers.
Additionally, it has a transparent display and a lightweight design. The Vision Pro starts at $3,500, while the Meta Quest Pro, Meta’s most expensive headset, starts at $1,000. This is why Zuckerberg said that Apple’s products are more expensive than they should be.
Zuckerberg responded to Apple’s Vision Pro device pricing, saying that Meta’s upcoming Quest 3 headset will be priced at just $499, compared to the Vision Pro’s $3499, which will be much cheaper.
Due to Quest 3’s low price, a large number of users will be able to use this device. Notably, Apple’s announcement seems to add challenges for Meta in the AR VR market.
