'Quest 3 is better than Apple Vision Pro'

In the VR headset market, Meta is still the leading manufacturer. Quest 3 was considered the "flagship" (the top devices in the same line, in the highest segment) until Apple launched the Vision Pro model. The appearance of a "new player" in the market was expected to create competition, but in reality, Quest 3 and Vision Pro are 2 devices aimed at completely different user groups.

However, it is difficult to avoid certain comparisons between the two products. While Apple CEO Tim Cook has not yet publicly discussed Quest 3, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has "had the opportunity to experience Vision Pro" and shared his thoughts on the new device from the "apple house".

Meta CEO ( right ) believes there are many reasons to conclude that Quest 3 glasses are better than Vision Pro.

In a new video , Mark said that before testing Apple's Vision Pro, he expected Quest to be a better value proposition because he actually found the device better, not to mention the price being about 7 times cheaper. "But after using Vision Pro, I don't think Quest is just more valuable, I have to say Quest is a better product. That's all."

After the above statement, Meta's CEO cited some features of the "homegrown" product compared to the new device produced by Apple that made him give his opinion, such as having high quality, more suitable for gaming and social networking needs, having access to a larger content library, having an ergonomic design, being lighter...

Those are certainly undeniable "advantages", but from the perspective of someone with a neutral point of view: neither hating nor loving either side, Vision Pro still has its own advantages. Apple's headset has a higher resolution screen, has never been considered a product specifically for gaming (even in terms of design), does not need to care about Meta's VR application library because it is not in the group of devices prioritized for entertainment... At the same time, although Quest 3 is lighter and has an ergonomic design, there have been many complaints from users that wearing this device is not comfortable.

More importantly, the two devices have different uses and target audiences, making Mark's comparison "unfair." Meta CEO emphasized that Quest 3 is "better" in gaming and entertainment - areas that most VR devices are currently aimed at. On the contrary, Apple seems to want to change that perspective with the Vision Pro itself.

From the Vision Pro announcement and through its promotional videos, Apple has focused more on using the device to improve daily activities, mostly work. Entertainment like gaming and watching movies are just a part of that, not entirely what Apple is aiming for.

The price difference is debatable, as Apple devices have always been priced at a premium compared to the average. The success of the product is still up in the air, but that is not answered by "how well it meets the needs of the target audience", but "how well it addresses the needs of the target audience". Obviously, the Quest 3 is the current top choice for gamers, but the Vision Pro is going in a different direction.
