Over the weekend we and others reported that the Meta Quest Pro 2 has been canned – or, more specifically, the in-development project that was ‘likely set to be the Meta Quest Pro 2 but not yet officially called that’ to use semantics Meta’s own CTO has deployed in the past (and again recently) – and while I’d still love to see a Meta Quest Pro 2 this is probably the right decision for now.
The reason for the cancellation? The Apple Vision Pro – but that's not, reportedly, because Meta is scared to face off against its rival tech titan’s VR headset. Rather, Meta has apparently struggled to offer high-end specs – chiefly micro-OLED displays to match what’s offered by the Vision Pro – at a relatively affordable price somewhere around or below the original Quest Pro’s $999.99 / £999.99 / AU$1,729.99 (via The Information – the article is behind a paywall).
