In the ongoing battle for supremacy in the virtual reality realm, Meta Platforms and Apple find themselves embroiled in a heated exchange over the merits of their respective headsets, the Meta Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro..

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta Platforms, has once again taken to Threads to defend his company's product against the criticisms surrounding Apple's high-resolution Vision Pro..

Zuckerberg confidently asserted that the Meta Quest 3 not only offers better value but stands as the superior product overall..

In a video showcasing the Meta Quest 3's advanced video passthrough system, Zuckerberg drew attention to the headset's 120-gram weight advantage, making it more comfortable for prolonged use..

Despite the latter's remarkable features, including two OLED displays with a total of 23 million pixels, Apple's M2 chip, 12 cameras, five sensors, six microphones, and Siri integration, Zuckerberg argued that these enhancements come at a significant cost both monetarily, with the Vision Pro priced at $3,500, and in the compromises made in other aspects..
