Mark Zuckerberg responded to Apple's recent unveiling of the Vision Pro, dismissing the notion that it offers any revolutionary solutions that Meta hasn't already considered.
During a companywide meeting, he emphasised that Apple's device is considerably more expensive than Meta's recently announced Quest 3 headset.
Zuckerberg stated that Vision Pro "really showcases the difference in the values and the vision that our companies bring to this," highlighting Meta's commitment to providing accessible and affordable products for everyone.
"We innovate to make sure that our products are as accessible and affordable to everyone as possible, and that is a core part of what we do. And we have sold tens of millions of Quests," he is quoted in The Verge.
The Vision Pro will be priced at $3,499, while the Quest 3 will cost $499, and the Quest Pro will be priced at $999.
He further expressed that Meta's vision for the metaverse is inherently social, in contrast to what he perceives as the isolating nature of the Vision Pro. He acknowledged that Apple's approach may indeed represent a potential future for computing, but emphasised that it is not the direction he envisions for Meta.
