The Apple Vision Pro is currently a hot topic. It has garnered a mixed response, with some people adoring it and others expressing doubts, but it’s undeniable that it has everyone’s attention. The hype is so palpable that even Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, felt compelled to try out the headsets.
It could be that Zuckerberg was feeling a bit overshadowed by all the attention Apple’s headsets were receiving. After all, the Vision Pro is a major rival to Meta’s Quest 3 VR headsets. Consequently, Zuckerberg released a video in which he tested the Apple Vision Pro headsets.
Despite acknowledging their high-end specifications, he concluded that the Meta Quest is faster, superior, more cost-effective, and overall, a better choice.
