Introduction:

First we are going to talk about the hardware difference between Apple’s Vision Pro, and the Meta Quest 3. Then we will move into what is inside the headsets. Lastly we will talk about which one is better and which one is worth to buy.

A little bit about each one:

Vision Pro is Apple's newest product. Apple has been working on this product for decades, and it shows. In terms of design,  in the front there is a singular piece of 3- dimensionally formed aluminum alloy frame that curves and covers your eye. It has a light seal that flexes to conform to your face, and it blocks out the stray light. The headband provides cushioning breathability and stretch. The battery that is shown on the outside can last for about 2.5 hours. Lastly the sound, the speakers are positioned close to your ears to deliver the best audio it can offer.

Meta Quest 3 is Meta’s news product which they are very proud of. The headset includes an adjustable pre-installed standard Facial interface, two plus Controllers with wrist straps and 2 AA Batteries, a charging cable & power adapter.

Content in the headset:

 The Meta Quest 3- looks more like the usual VR headset. It mostly displays video games and videos, but it does it so much better then the usual VR headsets. Firstly it runs way better and faster. Secondly, it looks beautiful and takes you to a completely different world with just a press of a button. The real question is, Does it come even close to what the Vision Pro has to offer. The short answer is no. Apple’s Vision Pro is a computer in every way. Apple takes its great “ecosystem” and uses it in the Vision Pro, everything you are doing on your computer and iPhone you can do in the Apple Vision Pro, and it does that perfectly. 

The payment and which one to buy:

As I have stated before the Apple Vision Pro starts at 3,500$ and can go up to 4,000$, on the other hand, the Meta Quest 3 starts at only 500$, which has a huge impact on which one to buy. In my opinion, if you are a teenager like me or even an adult who just wants to get out of the real world with just a press of a button, The Meta Quest 3 is the product for you, it is more affordable, have great graphics and speed for its price and overall it is the best choice for a VR headset for an ordinary person. On the other hand, if you want to view the future and are willing to pay a lot for it the Vision Pro is the one for you. it has all of what your phone and the computer have.the question for this one is “Do you need all of that” and the answer is no. It is shown people who have bought the headsets returned it for the simple reason which is that they are just don’t need all of that, a phone and a computer should have what they need, and paying 3,500 $ does not seem to worth it. I would personally pick the Meta Quest 3 because first of all as a teenager I can not afford the Vision Pro, and I do need the Vision Pro, I have a great phone and a computer and and do not need another product that will do the same. I would like a VR set that will run great games that I can play with my friends and one that would make me feel like I am on another planet, so I would pick Meta Quest 3.
