Apple Vision Pro Is ‘Technically’ Up To Three Years Ahead Of The Meta Quest 3, Claims Analyst, Despite Launching In Early 2024
29.10.2023 - 12:53 / wccftech.com / Ming-Chi Kuo / Pro
The Meta Quest 3 launched on October 10, putting it several months ahead of the Apple Vision Pro, which is slated to arrive early next year but will only be available through an appointment system. Regardless of how it arrives for consumers and how difficult it will be to procure the ludicrously expensive AR headset, one analyst believes that Apple’s premium offering is up three years compared to what Meta has produced.
At $499 for the Meta Quest 3 and $3,499 for the Apple Vision Pro, there is a clear pricing disparity between the two mixed-reality headsets. Then again, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo implies in his Medium blog post that Apple has produced the superior headset, with the device technically said to be between two to three years ahead of the Meta Quest 3, even though it is slated to arrive in early 2024.
However, the ambiguous launch timeline from Apple suggests that the head-mounted wearable will not be available in January next year but sometime after that. Kuo has also stated that the Apple Vision Pro targets a different audience thanks to its large price tag, but what it brings to the table can make this headset garner more interest.
“Apple’s Vision Pro is technically at least 2–3 years ahead of Meta’s Quest. Thus, when the Vision Pro launches early next year, even though it targets a different consumer base than the Quest due to its significantly higher price, its clear experiential advantage will influence consumers’ purchase intentions for the Quest.”
Of course, selling an Apple Vision Pro successor at the same price is not a strategy that the technology giant wishes to adopt for the foreseeable future, especially if it desires to capture the lion’s share of the market at a rapid pace. The company has intentions to introduce a low-cost version of the AR headset, one that will reportedly feature an iPhone chipset instead of a Mac one, along with a display downgrade and other watered-down features to decrease its price.
Unfortunately, the AR headset market is not doing so well at this time, with Kuo stating that the Meta has cut its fourth-quarter shipments forecast of the Quest 3 by up to 10 percent, meaning that shipments for the first quarter of 2024 can decline by up to 80 percent quarter-over-quarter. Even though the device’s $499 asking price can be entertained by many, a lot more maturity is required in this segment before it starts to pick up steam.

Zelda fans have spent years animating their own vision for a movie
Nintendo’s announcement of a live-action movie inspired by The Legend of Zelda felt both inevitable and yet almost unbelievable. I say the former, because how could Nintendo resist attempting to replicate the $1 billion success of the The Super Mario Bros. Movie? However, a Zelda movie or series never felt like a given. Prior to this, reports talked of a Zelda show at Netflix and developers signaled support for a movie, but an actual project never materialized. And while Nintendo did release one animated series in 1989, its bizarre portrayal of Link didn’t stick.

Meta lawsuit claims Mark Zuckerberg ignored internal requests for child safety features
At the end of the last month, more than 30 US States, including California, Massachusetts, Tennesse, and others, filed lawsuits against Meta Platforms over the allegations of using features on its social media platforms to lure children and teens and allegedly get them hooked on harmful content, while not doing enough to ensure their safety. The Massachusetts lawsuit was earlier updated and the submissions were made unredacted, meaning the general public can go through its content. The claims and allegations in the documents paint a grim picture of how Facebook and Instagram were run, and how Mark Zuckerberg reportedly handled situations relating to teens.

IPhone 15 Pro Max Costs Apple Less Than $40 Extra To Make Than The iPhone 14 Pro Max; A17 Pro, Camera, Titanium Shell, Add To That Total
A new ‘Bill of Materials’ analysis reveals that Apple’s top-end flagship, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, for this year costs just $37.7 extra to make compared to the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but there are multiple reasons for that. With memory and displays getting cheaper this year, the discounts eased Apple’s materials costs, but the new 3nm A17 Pro, titanium chassis, and camera system that includes a tetraprism telephoto lens increased the overall bill.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 finally went official a couple of hours ago, and it was one of the first mobile SoCs to feature only performance cores, meaning that there were no efficiency cores on the chipset. In addition to that, the chipset also featured a race-to-idle concept, meaning that it would work at full speed to handle smaller tasks rather than working at a lower speed and taking a longer time.
