Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Quest 3: I Love Diminishing Returns 

Some folks have mentioned that the passthrough recording quality looks better than it actually is. I will say that both headsets are dependent on good lighting and both will get grainy in low light conditions. This is more noticeable on the Quest 3 due to the lower pixel density.

COMPLETELY MISSED the social aspect !!! In Apple Vision Pro you are ALONE but Quest 3 is very SOCIAL place for playing games, watching movies or just hanging out with friends !!!

If the Apple Vision Pro was around $1,500 I might of considered getting it for I do ❤ my Ipad Pro. But, for $3,500+ I would rather build a Powerful Gaming PC with a RTX4090. Which is also, overpriced. So, I will just be content with my Quest 3 and PSVR2. 😉👌

Great video showing pros and cons of both. Still not sold on a $3500 VR headset, I’m excited about where it’s going though!

This is by for the best review Ive seen comparing these two headsets! Youve addressed all the most important technical differences in a clear and concise manner 👌👌

This is actually Apples answer to the View-Master. 😂

Whats crazy is the apple 2yr warranty cost about same as a new Quest 3

very helpful review and comparison, thank you!

You make really good points. Great video.

Amazing comparison very comprehensive and informative

apple made a big mistake of not adding support for big screen app or creating an alternative apple app. they have apple tv and all the movies you can watch with others

I’m sorry but no, the APV does NOT feel like just a pair of ski goggles when it comes to pass though, it also does NOT look to the user as good as it looks on the recordings of it. Never tried a Quest 3, but do have the Vision Pro if you buy a AVP thinking pass though will look like it does on these videos you will absolutely be disappointed. It’s good, but not as good as the videos make it look

Thanks, subscribed!

This is the best AVP vs Q3 review I have seen.

How many times have you hit your face off a wall or object while using VR, now answer for when using passthrough?

Do you planning to return AVPro ? Or definitely keep ? Nice talking about, thank you.

Both the quest 3 and apple vision pro have 12 milliseconds passthrough latency. You can read a phone on quest 3 easily

I would imagine the ultimate goal is not really vr but ar. Something more like regular glasses that can give us a visual hud of the things that we use daily: calls, text, gps, notes, and other productivity and media uses.

About the passthrough in quest 3, for me some times it gets granny in low light places and sometimes it gets really clean and easy to read in my phone or my pc, i don't know, maybe is a software problem.

at 3:13 where you're looking at the laptop. I can't tell if this is for just the video or if your passthrough quality is actually good enough to read that text. On my two quest 3s I could not at all read that from there. The quality is far too low.

Oh you're using the Fifine am8 I'm boutta buy it do ypu recommend it?

4k per eye and support hdr10 and dolby vision in Vision Pro

Apple doesn’t want VR. They want AR, but they can’t build a device for that right now. So instead they built a VR headset and then threw out everything that makes VR compelling (experiencing other worlds through games).

Nice comparison. Good video. If suggest you wait for Meta to produce their quest pro 2 which will be a good competitor for apple

I use my passthrough to read texts and I can use my phone and computer typing with no issues, I have heard some quest 3 passthrough isn't the same on all units

I bought the AVP last weekend right after experiencing the demo, it’s over-engineered but I’m really digging what it’s capable of. I’m on the fence about returning it due to the price, living with it this past week has been amazing. It’s easy to wear but can sometimes be uncomfortable for long periods. I’ve watched the Super Bowl while using the moon surface as a background. I’ve downloaded the Disney app and there’s some really cool immersive backgrounds like The Avengers’ tower and other supporting environments. I haven’t worn it in public yet but have been hanging out in the backyard with it!

The latency for the AVP and Q3 is the same isn't it?

Honestly with all the hype if it was only $1k I would have bought it and it would have been my 1st apple product. All that hype made me do some research on VR and ended up getting quest3 and I'm so impressed. Easley best tech equipment I have bought in 15 years

🚮 but glad it’s on the market! Long Live VR! ❤

My meta quest 3 looks grainy with cameras, how can I fix it?

I wonder why no one is talking about FOV 🤔😅

I have the quest 3 , the quality image is really not sharp and the passtrough is crap

1st gen Apple Vision pro is public beta (cash to blow) (also gets people used to seeing this type device used by people in public) & a developer device to further the tech & software figuring out new use cases to prepare for future hardware generations that will get smaller lighter more user friendly & cheaper for mass market adoption, Apple in the game will help speed up the progression of this tech, waiting to see this tech combined with ai over next few years

Good review. Honestly Apple will not get developers too with that ecosystem and price. Meta quest 3 is much more reasonable choice. Only thing it is a bit worse is passthrough but it is not a deal breaker.

The pixels in the apple VR are the size of red blood cells. There are many things about the apple that is higher spec, even just the M2 chip is way stronger.

Can you use apple as PC VR?

The simple fact that the quest 3 doesn't have a battery that u have to carry around is enough to declare it a winner.

You mentioned the quest having games and link to pc but didn’t cover much on the few apps the Vision Pro has. Are they in different markets the quest being in the gaming market even tho you can use it like the Vision Pro and the Vision Pro being in a different market with it mainly focused on watching and tasking

This was great, going to go with the Meta Quest. Even if the Vision Pro came with a teleportation machine it doesn't justify the price. Shame as I have an entire Apple ecosystem

The weight on the front has been noted by various reviewers, but the majority have noted that the weight is due to it not being fitted correctly. Where the front face interface can be the incorrect size and you may be more suited to using the dual loop band.

Wait for gen 2

I am sure that Quest Pro 2 will be a fierce competitor to Apple

AVP is the VR version of macbook and it is the best in its category, because has no competition.. No company is making VR PCs yet.. Quest3 is one of the best VR gaming headset/consoles on the market right now.. It's like comparing macbook to PS5.. The idea of comparing this two products is wrong..

So why i need this thing?

Apple released this halfbaked idea so that they can recoup some of the losses of r & d

Apple wants apple glasses there gonna win in augmented reality but meta will win in virtual reality

apple vision is more akin to an innovation than a genuine utility tool for the public when it will be democratised, or that the other company copy the concept more, is when it will be interesting see it like apple vision being a 2.0 beta, while metaquest 3 being a 1.9 i hope eye tracking become the norm

Really you don't notice the blurring on the pass though on AVP, it means if you move your head everything smears, making reading phones or monitors next to impossible unless one holds very very still. IMO pass through on both headsets is pretty unusable for anything beyond basic navigating around the house. IMO you are over selling the quest 3 pass through as the videos don't capture the in optics noise - which is terrible even in 200+ lux environments.

Apple vision Pro X meta quest 3 amazing 🤩

I think adjusted the headset on the Vision Pro was easier but I think the quest three is more comfortable. I find the front of my face around my nose starts to hurt after 20 or 30 minutes on the Vision Pro and I don’t get the same with the quest, three or the quest two or the quest pro. I also can’t find much to do on the Vision Pro. I basically downloaded everything and bought all the apps like Disney+. Hopefully it grows as time goes. I just hope the second version doesn’t come out too quick and then the first version becomes useless. And mark my words Version two will come with controllers and they will get rid of the glass in the front. That’s basically useless anyway and probably cost the consumer a grand. I’m trying to find things to do with the Vision Pro. A few games from Apple Arcade are really crappy considering the quest three has Resident Evil 4 red matter two and so many others and yes, I know I’m gonna get 1000 people say it’s not meant for gaming, but take away gaming from VR and VR collapses, the five or 10% if even that who would use it for work and not sustain any VR glass, never mind Vision Pro at the price they charge it needs to be versatile like the quest. And I also only find Vision Pro a little bit clearer than quest three not much. I’m going to see him in a little bit. If there’s anything else I could do or I’m sure I’ll watch the same few videos again like I did a few times I used it lol. and yes, type in with your fingers is not easy if somebody’s gonna say they’re gonna use it for work I called BS without a keyboard or controller. hoping to get a review out sooner than later myself not as put together as yours but I’m trying lol

I got the strong feeling that you are a casual Apple fanboy.

dude all know that the image quality is better for the extra 3000 what would you expect lol that means the quest 3 still better in every way for what they do

WRONG! Front on Apple Vision Pro is not glas but easily scratchable plastic. Go watch Jerry Rigs Everythings video 😊

Like you said in your video, there’s not much to do with it. I’m hoping something comes out because I didn’t buy this to watch movies. I bought it because I like new tech but I have to say I’m a little disappointed in what’s available at the moment, hopefully something great comes out before these become useless, and version two comes out. Like I said before I believe version two will come with controllers, and they will get rid of the glass screen in the front where you could barely see your eyes anyway, that almost seem to be something for them to show off on their first set, but I believe they’ll get rid of that lower the price And come with controllers and hopefully games, Resident Evil 4, and games of that caliber come to the vision, pro and a lot more videos. Specially the immersive ones not that I would buy Vision Pro just for immersive videos but it’s a nice bonus. I’ve only found a few so far not including at four minute dinosaur video that’s very cool but it’s only four minutes long, it was like a tease. They should have a lot more than that four minute video but who knows I like technology so I bought them but I think the average person may be a little disappointed. I would definitely say go with the quest three not the quest two it’s worth the extra few bucks Definitely get the quest 3. Just my friendly opinion.

How many times have you hit your face off a wall?? Apple Vision Pro vs Meta Quest 3? 500Us vs 3,500Us

Do you ever walk down the street holding your iPad and have the thought, "man, I wish I could jump into this iPad!"? Good, me neither. No one has. No one ever will because VR is NOT a computer screen. Sorry, everyone, Apple will fail too because VR is a canvas for artists in the shape of a dream, nothing more. VR is a dream-shaped canvas.

3 vs psvr2

for me the only improvement that cares is the 2.5 times better screen, lets be real as vr user the screen is the only really meaningfull diference eye tracking, massive multitasking and ecosystem, vr gaming aside both can do everything else the same in a user pov avp has quality and expensive components, so it can do better the same things that shares with quest ofc, but at least for now it do less that the quest 3, mostly a media visor, and the ar-vr in avp is mostly "experiences" most of things are more visually than interactive, comparing to quest 3 i think that is a good resumen of it i realy want to see meta allowing themselves screens like that but that screens cost 1k each one and we know how is zuckerbeg with the production prices... sadly meta is not apple and if they bring up a 4.000 dollar visor nobody will buy it, like the quest pro so mark certanly have reasons to be like that, avp is mostly similar to the meta mirror lake prototype, if meta can allow that cost it can do something totally similar 1y ago *my choice:* for now, mostly for the game aproach, i took quest over the avp, that may change if ivry or virtual desktop brings pc-vr to the vision pro but that just if they solve the controller problem somehow i using mostly pc-vr to play with my pc hardware so the m2, r1 chipset is something that i dont really care if i will only use it standalone to watch youtube *vr/ar situation:* if u think u can use a vr/ar headset for work u will be vry dissapointed when u buy it, even for navigate on browser is worse that doing it on your pc/phone The only real new thing that vr/ar headset can bring to your life is a 3D media player or like giant screens and not only environments, but VR worlds where you can interact and move, do social things, exercises, games, etc. *the bad things* both shares the same desings so share the same problems: its heavy almost 1kg for wear for hours in your head, give eye pain, leave a mark in your face, make you looks ridiculous, you're too lazy to put them on, u sweat and make it gross, the glasses fog up all the time, If you have long hair you will had problems with it, the visor moves for anything and misadjusts all the time making it looks blurry bc the sweet point is in the middle of the lenses, most of times u will prefer your pc or phone to do what u wanted to do in the visor so think well if u need it or not *promote scopes:* i think apple promotes vision pro like an headset to wear 24/7 and replace all your media in your daily life, for me this aproach is truly dystopian, but it wont work like that bc we aren't in that quality/confort tech yet, u will never can use it for 8h daily to do stressing work, meta after zuckerberg resignation of being a work scope device and surrender to the gaming demand that he hate, i think it just promote quest like a vr console - ar device to enjoy minigames, social/fitness and things like that

Typing this comment with my quest 3

MXR mods cousin!

FYI the front of the Apple vision is plastic and not glass!

Looking for an Apple Vision Pro? Simply buy a Quest 3 😉

Im looking for cheap $250-500 better quest. I can't offer Apple 3500 too much expensive.

bro, enough of the hamburger vids, I'm HUNGRY!

AVP: BENTLEY Q3: TOYOTA

The front isn’t glass, it’s plastic 😂

The quest is a paperweight. I can enjoy the apple vision pro. My wife was banned from facebook because vietnamese hackers got her blocked for life. The quest is useless to her. Not having to worry about your headset becoming a paperweight because of Meta's poor policies and security, is incredibly valuable. At this point, a phone in a cardboard vr headset is better than a quest.

Quest is already better than Apple Vision, it offers games, computer and more. remember that Quest 3 will always be updated in the future Apple Vision is pre-fully updated and Quest is just new and doesn't compete with the update. Zuck is right smart

Be aware of yuor Vision with this device , this thing gone ruin that

You just compared $3499 and $499,....

Maybe $1300 max id consider apples. Nothing revolutionary here just another VR with a better screen.

One more thing: GAMES and SOFTWARE.. the Apple Vision is useless

Apple products have premium quality thats why they have the most overpriced products, but this vision pro is beyond overpriced, the quality of pass through and the pixel is 👌 but comfort and with its limited options of apps its like nah, why buy a 3500USD if I can buy meta quest 3 thats way more cheaper

500 is much better and most of the same stuff

3500 lol

Can you all reviewers STOP calling it the Apple Vision pro in your copy paste reviews? Do you call your iPhone "the Apple iPhone pro 15 max? So annoying

Quest 3 much better

Just food for sheep

Lets remember that the AVP, is fresh out and will get many software updates, which the quest has had 3 iterations to get right.. AVP is better that quest 3 after 3 hardware updates, just think were AVP will after 3 updates..The price is personal, is it to much or not only you and your finances can define that.

Apple vision pro is another apple's overpriced bullcrap

Meta Quest is discount store trash compared to the AVP. Get real.
