They should sell it to Apple. I wouldn't buy this from Meta, but I would buy it from Apple.

I'd guess Apple are already hard at work making something similar and better than this.

They probably are, but this is what vision Pro should have been. It seems that Apple are behind. By months? By years?

In any case, that transaction is not going to happen because Zuck thinks he can actually make it work. It's just what I think they should do.

You would pay three times as much for the same product?

Presumably Apple could do it cheaper than Meta, since they could assume higher volume and are more valued by suppliers.

I'm not going to buy it from Meta, but what I'm saying is that at the same price I would buy it from Apple. I'm far from the only one.

They theoretically could, but they would never do it, as we see with the Vision Pro, which is, apart from being far heavier, also far more expensive.

Depends on why you think the Vision Pro is so expensive. Maybe they just wanted extremely thick margins and to not sell many, but I'm guessing that they were actually trying. They could have called it a dev kit, but the indications are that they are trying to sell to consumers.
