in this video we will be comparing the Meta Quest PRO and the Meta Quest 3 to the brand new apple AR & VR Headset the Apple Vision Pro. Apple has announced an augmented reality headset called Apple Vision Pro that “seamlessly” blends the real and digital world. “It’s the first Apple product you look through, and not at,” CEO Tim Cook said of the device, which looks like a pair of ski goggles. As rumored, it features a separate battery pack and is controlled with eyes, hands, and voice. It will start at $3,499 and launch early next year, starting in the US market with more countries coming later in the year. Vision Pro is positioned as primarily an AR device, but it can switch between augmented and full virtual reality using a dial. Apple Vision Pro first look: the mixed reality future is (almost) here Everything we know about Apple’s Vision Pro headset The device is controller-free, and you browse rows of app icons in an operating system called visionOS by looking at them. You can tap to select and flick to scroll, you can also give voice commands, and Apple says “hundreds of thousands of familiar iPhone and iPad apps” will automatically work that way. On top of that, the headset supports Bluetooth accessories, including Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, and lets you connect your Mac to use inside the headset. Downward-facing cameras can capture your hands even if they’re resting low on your body.
Apple just unveiled its long-awaited Vision Pro headset, but how does it stack up with Meta’s recently announced Quest 3?
It’s a day that felt like it might never come but here we are – the Apple headset is a reality and it’s called the Apple Vision Pro and it looks absolutely next level. If you’ve seen Apple’s WWDC presentation then you’ll know that the company clearly spent a lot of time putting the Vision Pro together because it is like no other VR or AR headset that we’ve ever seen before.
Speaking for most of the folks in the Trusted Reviews office, we’re a bit gobsmacked. Of course, this comes hot off the heels of Meta announcing its follow up to the successful Quest 2 VR headset: the Meta Quest 3. Given that these two headsets have been unveiled around the same time, it’s only fair to wonder how exactly they compare, so let’s run through the key bits to know.
Apple Vision Pro is a lot more expensive
Usually we wouldn’t start with the price on a product comparison but in this instance, it feels quite pertinent. I say this because the Apple Vision Pro has a price tag of $3499. Yes, you read that right, you’ll be expected to pay well over three-grand for the pleasure of donning your very own Apple Vision Pro.
By comparison, the Meta Quest 3 is far more affordable at $499. UK pricing hasn’t been announced for either headset, but it’s fairly clear which one will be more popular with those on a budget.
Even though there was a brief mention that some games in Apple Arcade will work on the Vision Pro, Apple didn’t spend any time at all detailing the gaming experience here. In fact, the company isn’t really calling the Vision Pro a headset, instead using the term ‘spatial computer’. Instead, it’s clear that Apple is priming the Vision Pro as something to be used for work, with multiple tabs visible in front of the user.
While previous Meta Quest headsets have included the ability to have VR workstations via various third party apps, they haven’t pushed the concept as a key selling point, so it’s clear that Apple wants to shimmy into this gap in the market and establish the Vision Pro as the go-to headset here.
Meta Quest 3 has its sights set on gaming
Of course, while Apple has its sights set on the productivity crowd, the Meta Quest 3 is sat firmly on the other side of the VR aisle with gaming as its main focus. This shouldn’t come as any surprise as the Meta Quest 2 is currently one of the most popular VR headsets on the market for gaming, with titles like Resident Evil 4 VR and Beat Saber being highly playable on the device.
This isn’t to say that the Apple Vision Pro is incapable of running games, but given that the control input is done via hand gestures and not a dedicated controller, the experience will likely be limited and so from the outside at least, the Meta Quest 3 will probably be a safer bet for VR gamers.
