Gurman: The Meta Quest 3 is 'far lighter and thinner' than Quest 2, stacks up against Apple AR/VR headset

Reliable leaker Mark Gurman recently wrote in his newsletter that he was able to try out a prototype version of the Meta Quest 3, and in turn, has given us a description of what arguably the most popular AR/VR headset in 2023 is like. And, how it may stack up against what it's shaping up to be its biggest competitor – the aforementioned Apple AR/VR headset, allegedly called Reality Pro.

As Quest 2 users may be familiar, adjusting the IPD on it can be clunky, as it requires the user to take off the headset and manually push or pull its two lenses, in order to switch between three predetermined IPD options. The Quest 2 has an IPD range of 58-68mm, so we can only hope that the Quest 3 will get a larger one, on top of it being simpler to adjust.As for the actual display clarity of the Quest 3, Gurman says it felt quite similar to the Quest 2's clarity to him, despite rumors that the new model will get a higher screen resolution.

According to Gurman,"it is a night-and-day improvement over the Quest 2", even if it may not be as great as he expects passthrough on the Apple AR/VR headset to be. Based on his experience with the device, Gurman says that the Quest 3 felt"much improved over the Quest 2" when it came to the"speed of navigating through the device’s interface, launching apps and playing games".
