Meta, formerly Facebook, is embracing the competition with Apple in the headset market, with both companies aiming to dominate the mixed reality space. While Meta sees Apple's Vision Pro as a potential collaborator, others draw parallels to the historic rivalry between Blackberry and Apple in the smartphone market. The debate revolves around whether a $3500 Apple headset can outperform a $350 Meta headset in the long run, with some speculating on Meta's potential fate as the Android or the BlackBerry of spatial computing.
