If the Meta Quest 3s is as affordable as we're expecting, it's going to be tough for Apple to compete. Even with a vastly cheaper Vision Pro, Meta's lead in the mixed reality market is a sizeable one.

A new leak indicates that a new Meta Quest virtual reality headset is about to release, and at a considerably lower price than the Meta Quest 3.
