EDIT:

I was wrong, a Facebook account is no longer needed to use the Quest headset.

I withdraw my complaint
- What are you talking about? A facebook account is not needed for Quest headsets
  
  Ah, thank you for telling me, I did some googling and you are absolutely right, I was referencing old information.
  
  I will edit my comment.
  
  Is a meta account required?
- That's wrong. Also, from the perspective of a former Apple employee, you're deluded. The stuff we'd see and use your data for; most of it was to use it against you in ways you wouldn't realise. No idea what other areas did with it, but my area wasn't even that evil.
  
  I just saw the other comment, and have edited my post.
  
  I am sure Apple uses my data in a lot of evil ways, I never said they didn't, I said that an Apple account is less terrible than a Facebook account.
  
  Did you ever meet Johny Ive?
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The nerd goggle review everyone has been waiting for is finally in: Mark Zuckerberg tried out Apple's Vision Pro and he has thoughts.

The Meta founder and CEO on Tuesday posted a video to Instagram that was effectively a takedown of Apple's recently launched mixed reality headset.

Having used the Vision Pro, which retails for $3,500 and competes directly with Meta's $500 Quest headset, Zuckerberg's ultimate takeaway was his company's product is not only more affordable, but just better.

In the video, he ticked off a list of features that were better on Quest: brighter screen, wider field of vision, more immersive content, no wires, no "blur," lighter weight.

He admitted it's "eye tracking is really nice," adding that a similar level had been included in earlier versions of Quest and will be put back in future models.

"I was surprised by how many trade offs they had to make in the quality of the device — in comfort and ergonomics and other aspects of the display and artifacts to get to that [higher resolution]," Zuckerberg said.
