Mark Zuckerberg reacts to the Apple Vision Pro and tackles it a bit

Mark Zuckerberg spoke about the Vision Pro, Apple’s first mixed reality headset announced at WWDC 2023. Meta is already in the VR field with its Quest headsets.

According to Mark Zuckerberg, the Apple Vision Pro is nice, but there is “no magic solutions” Meta didn’t think of. Meta boss adds that it costs seven times more than the Quest 3 headset announced a few days ago.

He really thinks that Apple’s announcement shows a significant difference in values ​​between the two companies. According to him, Meta seeks to offer accessible headsets, where Apple is targeting a niche with a price of $3,499.

Here is Mark Zuckerberg’s full statement to The Verge :

Apple has finally announced its headset, so I’d like to talk a bit about it. J‘was Really curious of see This that‘they were going deliver. Obviously I haven’t seen it yet, so I’ll learn more when we play around with it and see what happens and how people use it.

D‘After This that I‘have seen initially, I would say that there Good new East that‘he not‘there To not of solutions magical to constraints of the laws And of there physical that our teams not‘would have not Already explored And to which they not‘would have not think. They have opted For A screen To more high resolution, And between that And all there technology that‘they have bet in place For I‘feed, he cost seven time more Dear And need NOW such d‘energy that‘he have to a battery And A cable For I‘to use. They have do This compromise in matter of design And that can to have of sense For THE case that‘they aim.

But I think that their announcement put Really in evidence there difference of the values And of there vision that our companies bring In This domain, d‘a manner Who me seems very important. We innovate to make our products as accessible and affordable as possible for everyone, and it’s a core part of our business. And we’ve sold tens of millions of Quests.

More importantly, our view of metaverse and presence is fundamentally social. It’s about allowing people to interact in a new way and feel closer in a new way. Our device also makes it possible to be active and to do things. In revenge, all THE demonstrations presented show a person seated only on A couch. I want say that that could be there vision of I‘coming of I‘computer science, but This not‘East not that that I want. He there To a true difference philosophical In there way of which We let’s approach there question. In seeing This that‘they propose And how they are going compete, I am Again more enthusiastic And, To GOOD of the respects, optimistic as to To I‘importance And To there success of This that We do. But This will be A journey amusing.
