Mark Zuckerberg reviewed Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset. In a video shared on his Instagram account, the billionaire said that Meta Quest 3 is “the better product, period” as he criticised the headset calling the “device worse in most ways.” In a post on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg said that the resolution of the Apple Vision Pro “is higher” but they paid for that with many other product tradeoffs.
“I don’t think we’re saying the devices are the same. We’re saying Quest is better. If our devices weigh as much as theirs in 3-5 years, or have the motion blur theirs has, or the lack of precision inputs, etc, then that means we’ll have regressed significantly,” he said, adding, “Yes, their resolution is higher, but they paid for that with many other product tradeoffs that make their device worse in most ways. That’s not what we aspire to.”
Mark Zuckerberg previously stated, “I don’t just think Quest is the better value, I think Quest is the better product, period,” adding that the passthrough camera on the Quest 3 was used to record the video. He also commended the range of vision, flexibility of the physical hand controllers and hand tracking featured in Quest 3, and its lower weight (120 grams less).
The Meta Quest 3 was dubbed “the best value” headset by Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, who also criticized the Apple device.
“As soon as I put the headset on, I can see what trade-offs they made and why they made them. And, perhaps definitionally, those aren’t the trade-offs I would have made,” he said adding that he found Vision Pro very uncomfortable to use as it has “way too much weight. And it’s distributed poorly.”
