Mark Zuckerberg tried Apple’s Vision Pro headset and his verdict is that the Meta Quest 3 is a better product. Shocking, right?
In a video posted to his Instagram account, recorded with the Quest 3 passthrough, the Meta CEO said before trying the headset that he thought Quest 3 would offer better value to people because it is seven times cheaper than Apple’s $3,500 headset. But after his tryst with the Vision Pro, he thinks his company’s product is superior.
“I don’t just think Quest is the best value, I think Quest is the best product, period,” he said. “Ddifferent companies made different design decisions for helmets, they have different strengths. But overall, Quest is better at the vast majority of things people use mixed reality for.
