Meta CEO Zuckerberg, parent company of Facebook: Apple will become the main competitor of Meta Universe if it is closed.
Beijing, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) Facebook parent company Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) hinted on Tuesday that Apple is Meta's main competitor in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). This field is what Meta calls "meta-universe".
Zuckerberg and Cook Zuckerberg unveiled Meta's latest VR headset, Quest Pro, on Tuesday, priced at $1499. Apple has not released a VR headset, nor has it confirmed that it is developing such a device, but analysts and media reports say the company is preparing to release an VR device that will transmit video from an external camera to an internal high-definition screen in real time, the same function as the Quest Pro.
He says competitors are focused on establishing tight control over the VR platform and locking consumers to specific operating systems. Although he did not explicitly name Apple, the implication was clear. " In each generation of computing technology, there is an open ecosystem and a closed ecosystem, with Windows and Mac, then Android and iOS, "Zuckerberg said." closed ecosystems focus on strict control and integration to create unique experiences and locking. But over time, most of the value eventually goes to the platform. "
Mr Zuckerberg said Meta was focusing on building an "open ecosystem" to share the benefits of new meta-cosmic technologies with more developers and companies. "I think our role is not just to help build this open ecosystem, but to ensure that the open ecosystem wins out in the next generation of the Internet." Zuckerberg said. He also said Meta hopes to work with a wide range of companies.
In addition, he said in an interview that Apple's aggressive push for privacy policy is not as selfless as the company claims. Meta has had a dispute with Apple over recent iOS privacy changes, which have made it harder for Facebook to provide targeted ads. Zuckerberg had previously said it would cost the company 10 billion dollars.
