The sundry - reality headset will this time face competition from a young entrant into the place – Apple and its Vision Pro headset due out in the US early next year .
Although the Vision Pro cost seven - times as much as Meta ’s £ 479 Quest 3 , there are reportedly those within camp Zuckerberg who ’re more than a little concerned about Apple ’s ledger entry into the sphere .
Gurman likens the berth to Apple ’s launching into the mobile phone arena in 2007 , and every unmarried mortal reading this knows how that worked out .
The newssheet points out that Meta has backed forth from its Brobdingnagian metaverse vision of us all living as absurd - seem avatars in the virtual world , in favor of an approach more akin to productiveness and gaming . That ’s on the dot where Apple find theVision Proexcelling too .
So how can Meta stay to compete with the Apple car and its software and hardware ecosystem ? Well , Gurman reckons the program is to be “ even more aggressive on Mary Leontyne Price ” while offering young product at lower grade and selling the headsets minus the Touch controllers .
