Indeed, Meta has the low-to-mid-end of the market pretty well-covered. Undoubtedly, Meta currently sports the more affordable option with its baseline Quest headset, with the latest (Quest 3) iteration going for $500. Meta Platforms Has Its Bases Well-Covered as the Metaverse Race Kicks Off Nevertheless, let’s use TipRanks’ Comparison Tool to have a closer look at Apple and Meta as they duke it out over the coming years. Though it’s far too early to tell if the spatial computer is worth the price of admission, given that only a limited number of people have actually tried the headset, I do think it’s hard not to give Apple the edge when it comes to the headset battle with Meta. Indeed, many people were shocked when the sticker price was announced. As you’d imagine, the inclusion of the absolute best hardware comes at the cost of a hefty price tag - $3,500.
As it always does, Apple’s going the “premium” route with mind-blowing, top-of-the-line technologies. It’s unclear how spatial computing will take off at this juncture. However, just because Meta and its Quest headset are off to a slow start does not mean Meta won’t eventually be able to make a significant mark on the field of spatial computing. Indeed, it could take years before Meta’s metaverse makes a meaningful impact on overall earnings, which are dominated by ads from the social media family of apps. Still, the company has yet to convince most of us to purchase a headset and stay plugged in long enough for Meta to monetize meaningfully. Indeed, Meta has been investing billions into the Metaverse for over a year now. Apple’s headset (or spatial computer) is poised to go toe to toe with that of Meta Platforms’ ( NASDAQ:META). Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has been rising steadily - more than a month after its Vision Pro reveal.
