“From what I've seen, the good news is that they don't have any magical solutions to bypass the limitations of the laws of physics that our experts have not already studied and thought through. They used higher resolution displays […] but the glasses are seven times more expensive [than the Quest 3],” CEO Meta said.
He also criticized the high power consumption of the Apple Vision Pro, due to which the use of the device requires a battery to be connected on a wire.
“Their announcement demonstrates the difference in values and vision between our companies, which I think is really important. We innovate to make our products as accessible as possible to everyone […] and we have sold tens of millions of Quest,” added Zuckerberg.
According to him, Meta creates devices for socialization and activities, and the Apple presentation shows the use of Vision Pro on the couch alone.
At the end of the speech, Zuckerberg said that the announcement of a competitor inspired him and charged him with optimism. On June 1,
Meta announced Quest 3 starting at $500. The device will go on sale in autumn 2023.
