Is Apple Vision Pro Set to Revolutionize the VR Headset Market?

Apple Vision Pro is quickly approaching its launch in the United States, scheduled for February 2nd. According to information from the Wall Street Journal, Meta, the company responsible for the development of virtual and augmented reality devices, is hopeful that Apple’s entry into the VR/AR headset market will have an impact and attract more consumer attention. Meta, which has invested billions of dollars into its metaverse and Meta Quest devices, is striving to maintain competitiveness in the market.

Based on the report, Meta employees see Meta Quest and its associated ecosystem as the primary alternative to Apple in this market, serving as Google’s Android does for smartphones. But what makes this opinion seem sensible? Well, the price of Apple Vision Pro is a whopping $3,500, while the recently released Meta Quest 3 costs only $649 in Canada.

This price difference makes users interested in the VR/AR world pay much more attention to the more affordable solution, which is Meta Quest 3. The report also states that Meta hopes Vision Pro will attract more application developers to this market.

Formerly known as Facebook, Meta changed its name in 2021 to better reflect its new area of focus, centered around VR/AR and the metaverse, not just social media.

Meta Quest 3 is already available in Canada. If you want to read our review of the device, click here.

The launch of Apple Vision Pro in the United States will take place on February 2nd, while it will be available in Canada a bit later. Nevertheless, there are a few ways for Canadians to get their hands on this device earlier.

Time will tell whether Meta is right and Apple will revitalize the VR headset market.
