Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, a prominent reviewer, deems Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset inferior to Meta Quest 3. In an Instagram video, he highlighted discrepancies, emphasizing Quest 3's superiority in weight, field of view, and controller flexibility. Zuckerberg's critique extends to Apple's trade-offs for higher resolution, dismissing it as a lesser product.
Zuckerberg Critiques Apple's Vision Pro, Affirming Meta Quest 3's Superiority Amid Resolution Debate
In a post on Threads, Instagram's X Platforms (formerly Twitter) rival Zuckerberg claimed that the resolution of the Apple Vision Pro "is higher, but they paid for that with many other product tradeoffs."
"I don't think we're saying the devices are the same. We're saying Quest is better. If our devices weigh as much as theirs in 3-5 years, or have the motion blur theirs has, or the lack of precision inputs, etc, then that means we'll have regressed significantly," he said in the post.
"Yes, their resolution is higher, but they paid for that with many other product tradeoffs that make their device worse in most ways. That's not what we aspire to," he added.
According to the Times of India, earlier this year, Zuckerberg directly compared his company's latest VR headset, Quest 3, and said, "I don't just think Quest is the better value, I think Quest is the better product, period."
Zuckerberg also stated that he shot the video with the Quest 3's passthrough camera, emphasizing critical differences between the two devices. He praised the Quest 3's weight (120 grams lighter), wider field of view, and flexibility with physical hand controllers and hand tracking.
Meta CTO Bosworth Joins Zuckerberg, Slamming Apple's Vision Pro for Uncomfortable Design
The CEO and Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth also criticized Apple's product, agreeing with Zuckerberg that the Meta Quest 3 was "the best value" headset.
"As soon as I put the headset on, I can see what tradeoffs they made and why they made them. And, perhaps definitionally, those aren't the tradeoffs I would have made," he said about Apple's 'spatial computing' device. Bosworth also stated that he found Vision Pro extremely uncomfortable to use because it has "way too much weight. And it's distributed poorly."
