Meta Connect 2023 LIVE: Meta to launch Quest 3, Ray-Ban smart glasses, and more
Meta Connect 2023: Meet Quest 3's main competitor, the Apple Vision Pro
The race to offer the best mixed-reality headset is heating up, especially now that Apple has decided to enter the market. Apple announced its Vision Pro headset at the WWDC 2023, just after Meta unveiled its Quest 3. Apple calls it a spatial computing device that allows users to operate multiple virtual windows. It enables users to run macOS as well as iOS applications through various movements of the eye, hand, and finger. While developers can use it to build AR/VR applications, it can also be used for leisure activities, such as watching movies.
With all this advanced tech, how much does the Vision Pro cost? Apple Vision Pro starts at $3499 and will be available for purchase starting early next year in the US, followed by a rollout in other countries at a later date.

Meta's Quest 3 is expected to be one of the highlights of the Connect 2023. It was first unveiled in June, just before Apple's WWDC 2023 took place. The announcement of the Meta Quest 3 did not reveal details about the specifications, but it was said that the headset will feature “a next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon chip”, but did not specify the name. Further, the base variant of the headset will get 128GB storage, and there will be “an additional storage option for those who want more space”. Finally, the company has also said that the Meta Quest 3's Touch Plus controllers will be more ergonomic and get TruTouch haptics.
The Meta Quest 3 will start at $499, which is $100 more than the Meta Quest 2 and its price tag of $399. In fact, Quest 2 launched at the price of $299 but Meta has hiked the price since then.
