The Meta is already at the top of the VR gaming niche, but we think the Apple Vision Pro is the better headset when it comes to productivity. I also don’t believe previous reports that suggested Meta plans to discontinue the Quest Pro lineup and instead focus on his more affordable VR products.
Earlier this month, Mark Zuckerberg claimed that the MetaQuest 3 is better than the more expensive Apple Vision Pro and is a “better product” when it comes to comfort, performance, and libraries. While that may be true in some ways, the Apple Vision Pro clearly has the edge when it comes to apps and screen resolution.
