Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has never hidden his opinions against some of Apple’s decisions, especially after the company introduced App Tracking Transparency. This time, Zuckerberg told Apple and its rumored mixed reality headset as he argued that the metaverse should be \u201copen.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Apple’s AR\/VR headset won’t be ready 2023, Meta on Tuesday unveiled its new virtual reality headset. The Meta Quest Pro comes with advanced sensors for facial tracking and some other impressive technologies. In an interview with The Verge<\/em>Zuckerberg said why he believes Meta’s VR ecosystem is better than what Apple has been working on.<\/p>\n For Zuckerberg, the main concern is not about having the best hardware, but having an open ecosystem. The Meta CEO said that the company is in a \u201cphilosophical competition\u201d with Apple as both companies work on the future of what he calls the metaverse.<\/p>\n The executive used the example of PC versus Mac and Android versus iOS to illustrate how Apple tries to lock users into its ecosystem while other platforms can together take advantage of the \u201cupside of what is created.\u201d He argued that the metaverse should be \u201cinteroperable\u201d and built by many different developers and companies.<\/p>\n According to Zuckerberg, Apple can hurt both competitors and consumers with its rumored mixed reality headset since the company already has full control over the iPhone, which is used by billions of people around the world. \u201cThe things that they’re doing are not as altruistic as they claim them to be,\u201d he said about Apple.<\/p>\n Meta has been working with partners such as Microsoft, Autodesk, and Accenture to build its metaverse platform. The new Meta Quest Pro is one of the company’s bets to make the metaverse a reality for more people.<\/p>\n
