We really didn’t expect this. And we are not referring to seeing Mark Zuckerberg defend to the death one of his products, but rather to see the CEO of Meta announce a review of the new Apple Vision Pro. That is what he has published on his Instagram account, where he shares with his followers his impressions after testing the Apple viewer.
Quest 3 does it too
The many demos that have been seen on the Internet of the Apple Vision Pro have attracted attention because of how surprising the effect of mixed reality, where you can place floating windows and applications throughout your living room and the rooms of your house. It is something extremely striking and works quite well, and with which the majority of the public has begun to identify Apple.
The problem with this is that the public believes the function is exclusive to Apple, and precisely we can also see it in the Meta Quest 3. And that is where Mark Zuckerberg emphasizes his opinion, ensuring that, although the Vision Pro’s tracking system is very good, with the Meta Quest 3 You can also enjoy a very functional high-resolution mixed reality.
YouTube and Xbox
It is especially striking that in his statements he emphasizes that applications such as Youtube and Xbox They are available in the Quest ecosystem, something that obviously seeks to highlight the absence of essential applications in the Apple viewer. In any case, it is well known that the applications will appear in the App Store, and everything is more due to a question of launch times, but it is clear that Zuckerberg did not want to miss the opportunity to give a blow in that regard.
In defense of the open ecosystem
Another point to highlight is that it compares the situation of the two viewers with the PC market, where Apple maintains a closed system and Windows allows many more options. That is where he boasts that Meta offers many more options, something that benefits the user, emphasizing that the open model vision of Windows is the winner. Curious that Zuckerberg now comes with the open system thing, really.
Best for most needs
Zuckerberg’s general opinion is based on the fact that The Meta Quest 3 offers practically everything that most users need, does it in a very complete way with a very high level of operation, and with a price difference of 3,000 dollars less. Obviously it doesn’t go so far as to say that the Vision Pro are technically better, but you can sense it.
The point here is that no one would have imagined seeing the CEO of the company “do a review” of the competition in this way, and we don’t know if this means that Meta is watching the wolf’s ears. And the Apple viewer may be practically unattainable for most users, but it will be a matter of time before an affordable version hits stores.
