Dear mark you are mad as the apple head sets are something far better than you thought of .
In a companywide meeting with employees today, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded to Apple's announcement of the Vision Pro, according to The Verge's Alex Heath. Zuckerberg said the Vision Pro has no "magical solutions" that Meta has not thought of, and "costs seven times more" than its recently-announced Quest 3 headset.
Zuckerberg added that Apple's announcement "really showcases the difference in the values and the vision that our companies bring to this," noting that Meta's goal is to offer products that are "accessible and affordable to everyone." Vision Pro will be priced at $3,499, while the Quest 3 will be priced at $499 and the Quest Pro costs $999.
Meta's goal with the metaverse is "fundamentally social," whereas the Vision Pro appears to be more isolating, according to Zuckerberg. He admitted that Apple's approach "could be the vision of the future of computing," but is "not the one that I want."
Zuckerberg's full comments, as reported by The Verge:Just days before WWDC, Meta previewed the Quest 3, its next-generation mixed reality headset. Launching later this year, the headset features a 40% slimmer and more comfortable design, a higher-resolution display, and up to twice the graphics performance as the Quest 2. The headset will start at $499 with 128GB of storage, and the company plans to share more details about it at an event on September 27.
Apple said the Vision Pro will be available in the U.S. in early 2024.

"Mining my data", so what. It's not like taking a Picture of me and stealing my soul.

Apple earns more from gaming than Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Activision combined | AppleInsider
Apple's profits from gaming outweighed those of major game companies, according to a report, with Apple earning more from App Store games in its 2019 fiscal year than Nintendo, Microsoft, Activision Blizzard, and Sony combined.appleinsider.com
I know, right? I just sold my old 2005 Camry with 200+ thousand miles for over 10k. I have no idea what used car you could actually buy for 3.5k.
Works both ways. Quests will help people realize how lacking its technology compare to Vision Pro. People do save money to buy better products.
Right? I suspect that after it's actually for sale, this won't be a concern. The 6+ month lead time for 3rd party devs cannot have been accidental. Apple demo'd a hardware + software platform, not (in any meaningful sense) applications; they'll come later and they will be outside of the existing paradigm.
You make a lot of senses. My grandma always said, the value of something is not on its price when you bought it, but rather how much it gives during its entire lifetime.
Of course there isn't yet. Developers are yet to get their hands on it. And the difference between the two companies is that with Apple, you're sure developers will - the way the systems interoperate and code ports over, it's very easy and even pleasant for them to get creative with a specific platform, or choose not to and not have to move a finger because Apple made it easy for them.
What were you expecting? Please tell us an example of "the killer app" that will make this product successful in your mind. Thanks.
I see so many uses for the technology that have not been (as far as I can tell) exploited or necessarily even touched upon.
I totally thought the same thing when I saw the headline
Here's the next tier of comparisons:
Taken at face value, Zuckerberg isn't wrong. But once you understand who we're talking about, Apple has the track record of innovation and iteration while Facebook's main successes have all been copying the moves of others or buying them. I'm betting on Apple to do VR/AR/Metaverse better than Facebook.

Anyone who's ever run a business knows the following is true: computing equipment, in the grand scheme, is generally very cheap, on a relative basis. Even if you run an all-Apple office, with top-of-the-line specs, it's relatively cheap.
