Comparison of Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3

Apple’s Vision Pro from iPhone We wouldn’t be saying anything wrong if we called it the next biggest revolution. For this device, which is quite impressive, aside from its price, most of you will say “There were already virtual / augmented reality glasses / headsets before, apple when you do Event was‘ you might be thinking.

But this title has unique features that distinguish it from what we know. Instead of counting these for you, we found it appropriate to inform you both technically and practically by comparing the title with a different title that has the potential to be its biggest competitor in the market. On one side of our comparison Apple Vision Pro while standing opposite Meta Quest 3 exists.

note: You may need to open the content in a browser to view some images. We will solve this situation as soon as possible in the mobile application.

Let’s start with the differences in design:

Apple Vision ProIt has glass on the front and aluminum material on the body. Although Apple has not given the net weight of the device, it is indisputable that it will be a bit heavier than the titles we are used to – mostly made of hard plastic. However, weight distribution will affect the comfort of the headgear.

Meta Quest 3 No exact weight has been given for either, but it is stated in the announcement video that it is much lighter than the previous Quest model. At this point, let’s say the Quest 2 is roughly 500 grams. So in terms of weight, Meta Quest 3 is good for long hours. more comfortable seems to be of use. It would not be right to say anything definite here because the weight distribution also affects this issue.

Another difference is directly evident in front of the titles.

This part is personal of course, but of Vision Prohas a dystopian stance on models. Quest 3, on the other hand, looks a little more robotic. Let’s take a look at what you see when you look at the headlines.

To Apple Vision Pro When you look at it, you may think that it is transparent and you can see the eyes of the other person, but this is not the case. Since there is a screen in front of the user’s eyes, this is not physically possible. Instead of an outward facing screen It also reflects the eye pattern produced by sensitive sensors.

So what’s behind the curtain?

Coming to the part that doesn’t get much attention, here’s the Vision Pro. 12 cameras And 5 sensors exists. In addition to multiple infrared sensors, LED reflectors and LIDAR sensors, different supports make Vision Pro functional. In addition, on the title 6 microphones is located.

of Quest 3 In front of him, 4 cameras are evenly distributed in areas that look like big pills. two of them Full Color while the other two come as standard. In the middle area, it contributes to the augmented reality experience. depth sensor is located.

After looking at the design of the headboards, let’s talk about the accessories next to it.

of Vision Pro The only thing that comes with it is the device battery looks like it will. Choosing an external battery is probably to lighten the already heavy device a bit. We will talk about this battery later on. Apart from that, Apple has shown that the game can be played through the title using a PlayStation 5 controller.

Quest 3 two new with controller is coming. Although we will see its functionality in actual use, these controllers TruTouch haptics Let’s say it comes with technology. It was also said that the device can track hands. This means that it can be functional in certain areas, even if you only have the title.

After removing the design issue, let’s come to the technical features we have.

Couple micro OLED The Vision Pro, which has a screen, transmits more pixels to each eye than a 4K resolution television, according to Apple’s claim. However, the exact pixel resolution of the device is not yet clear (rumored to be 3800×3000 for each eye). Still, it is claimed that the two screens will have 23 million pixels in total. On the processor side M2 Using the Vision Pro, it is also used for image processing. R1 processor it contains.

If we look at Quest 3, according to rumors on the processor side Snapdragon XR 2 Gen 2 is being used. Its memory is 128GB, but it is rumored that a 512GB model will also be released. for each eye 2064×2208 pixels The device, which offers resolution with an LCD panel, uses more advanced lenses called Pancake. These lenses also make the device thinner.

In terms of battery, it is said that both devices have a two-hour lifespan, with the Vision Pro being clear.

Of course, when used plugged in, this time limit disappears.

We will be updating the sections you have read so far as new information comes in. Now, let’s weigh them. First of all, what does Vision Pro promise that Quest 3 does not?

-According to the information we have- for 2D content 4K resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, special 96Hz screen refresh rate for 24fps content, SDR and HDR support, face and eye tracking, virtual / augmented reality glasses most advanced hand and eye tracking sensors and seamless communication with the Apple ecosystem sets this device apart from Meta Quest 3.

But the most distinctive part is the Vision Pro’s having a computer of its own we can say. In other words, it does not connect to a different device and pull content. You can take this device and mirror your Macbook screen in front of you, duplicate that screen and use your other Apple ecosystem applications without any problems, including the note application you use on iPhone, and other applications such as iMessage, Apple Maps.

When you buy Meta Quest 3, you will have pluses that are not -at least apparently- in Vision Pro.

Perhaps the most important of these 120Hz screen refresh rate. Apart from that, the library of content that has been invested for years will offer you something to take care of every time. Meta on this side, to content creators and developers invests quite a lot.

On the first install of Meta Quest 3, you probably have it on your phone, as in Quest 2. mobile app You will be prompted to download it and create one if you do not have a Facebook account. Don’t think of it as a bad thing, as a similar situation will undoubtedly occur with the Vision Pro.

Quest 3 is seen as a mid-segment entertainment device, while Vision Pro appeals to the professional sector.

Yes, of Vision Pro It was said that it would be useful for “everyone” in the promotion, but as you know, we heard this in the introduction of iPod, iPhone and Macbook devices. We guess that this statement is for the models that will appear in the future. Because Apple is working on a cheaper title strong rumors was out.

Currently, the price of the 128GB Quest 3 is announced as 500 dollars. The 512GB model will probably come out with a $600 tag as well. Why to compare 1000 dollars Quest Pro You may wonder what we didn’t include. This is because the new Quest 3 is ahead in terms of hardware.

On the other hand, Apple, for its new title $3,500 demands. At this point, it’s up to you to decide after we give the differences and pros/cons. Although Apple puts forward a professional device, you should consider your needs when you want to buy such a device. Because in this context, without the need for these two Even Quest 2 can see your work.

As your technology editor who prepared the article, I find both Meta’s $500 tag and Apple’s $3,500 tag consistent by looking at the audience addressed by the devices, and for this reason, I say you should choose a title that fits your needs. If you have questions, additions, suggestions and places you find wrong, you can share them in the comments.

Finally, most parts may be left in the air due to the lack of information in the middle. That’s why you will see this content again in a much more detailed and up-to-date way when both titles are completely fleshed out.
