Mark Zuckerberg recently tried out Apple's Vision Pro, the tech giant's new mixed reality headset. In a video posted on Instagram, Zuckerberg gave his review of the product, comparing it to Meta's Quest headset. Despite the higher price tag of $3,500 for the Vision Pro, Zuckerberg declared that the Quest is not only more affordable but also the better product overall.

Zuckerberg highlighted several features that he found superior on the Quest. He mentioned that the Quest has a brighter screen, a wider field of vision, and more immersive content. Additionally, the Quest is wireless and offers a more comfortable experience compared to the Vision Pro. These factors, according to Zuckerberg, make the Quest the better choice for most users.

While acknowledging the Vision Pro's "nice" eye tracking and higher resolution, Zuckerberg also pointed out the trade-offs that Apple had to make to achieve these features. He mentioned the discomfort and ergonomics of the Vision Pro, as well as display artifacts. Overall, Zuckerberg seemed pleased with the fact that Apple's headset couldn't excel in every aspect.

Zuckerberg took the opportunity to position Meta as the open model that will triumph over Apple's closed model. He drew parallels to the PC era, where Microsoft's open model prevailed. According to Zuckerberg, Meta is on track to win the mixed reality headset race, emphasizing the importance of an open model for the future of technology.
