Apple Vision Pro It arrived on the market at the beginning of February and quickly managed to position itself at the center of the global technology scene. After the conflicting opinions of Elon Musk and Sam Altman, the one who raised his voice is now Marco Zuckerberg: Meta’s CEO said the Quest 3 is superior to Manzanita’s new “spatial computing” device.
In a video shared on his profile instagramZuckerberg said he’s been testing the Apple Vision Pro for a few days and believes it Meta Quest 3 is better in almost every way and this offers the Same features at a lower price. However, he admitted that he was impressed by the device’s hardware.
Meta’s CEO also stated that he is quite surprised that Meta Quest 3 is better in many ways for that price difference, about seven times cheaperHe said.

Among his categorical sentences against Apple’s big bet in the field of mixed reality, he added that the future is not written, it must be invented. And not only that, he shamelessly claimed that “fanboys” would be “annoyed” by his criticism of Apple’s product.
Zuckerberg also said his mixed reality headset it’s more comfortable compared to Apple Vision Pro because it is much lighter, has a wider field of vision and is wireless thanks to the integrated battery.
However, he acknowledged that the high resolution screen and the eye tracking sensors of the Vision Pro (which will arrive in future versions of the Quest) are very nice, although I think they were added to compensate for the ergonomics and comfort of the device.
Finally, he noted that the visionOS App Store is down the necessary applications are missing to take advantage of the device while having more than 600 applications adapted, which does not happen with the Quest 3, which has a large library of applications to take advantage of the device.
These opinions are not surprising, although it is surprising that an executive would share his impressions of a competing product on his social networks.
Indeed, Zuckerberg’s comments have drawn pushback from those who believe him Apple headphones truly represent the future.
Others They compared the video with the moment when Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, mocked the launch of the first generation iPhone in a note to CNBC. “We sell millions of phones a year and Apple sells 0 phones a year, we’ll see next year how the competition goes,” he said in 2007.
Meta Quest 3 vs. Apple Vision Pro: Which is better?
Regardless of Mark Zuckerberg’s opinion, those who have tested both mixed reality glasses have compared in three key aspects:video games, screens, optics and price-to determine which is better.
In the players section, for example, Meta Quest 3 has a vast library of virtual reality games and it is backwards compatible, meaning that once purchased it can run those created for previous versions of the device.
For his part, Apple Vision Pro has few native gaming options so far for virtual reality. However, you can play the most popular iPad games on large flat windows.
As for the quality of the screens and optics, Apple Vision Pro has clear advantages, according to initial findings. It features more than double the resolution of the Quest 3, making it ideal for viewing details and reading small text. However, some reviewers mentioned a smaller field of view area.
Meanwhile, Meta Quest 3 boasts a much wider horizontal field of view of 110 degrees, providing an immersive feeling in the virtual world.
But The biggest difference between the two is in their value., as Zuckerberg mentioned. The Meta product has a starting price of $499.99 and comes with 128GB of storage. This variable can be extended to 512GB, but for an additional $150.
The Vision Pro, however, continues with the premise of the rest of the products in the Apple ecosystem: there are three options whose price increases along with the storage space. The standard version has an exorbitant price $3,499 and 256GB, the 512GB variant costs $3,699 and the 1TB variant comes in at $3,899 respectively.
