> when competitors are $300

Something tells me Apple doesn't consider Oculus quest much of a competitor. The Quest is 99.99% used for gaming. Essentially nothing else. I doubt gaming will even be much of a focus for the Apple headset.

It’s totally a competitor. The quest is now being marketed for work. The new Horizon Workrooms has great reviews for people holding virtual meetings.

Besides, what other stahndslone headset is being shipped in any real volume but the quest? Meta has hinted at future AR updates to the quest so that should compete even more with apples goals.

I'm sure Apple is looking at Meta's stuff in the same way that they looked at Blackberry's stuff while designing the iPhone, but the Quest isn't going to be Apple's "north star" for the project. Apple will have their own, unique first principles for this product category.
