AR vs VR, spatial vs social, etc are just marketing gimmicks. Both Meta and Apple are putting out the same basic products, but they are available at different price points and different levels of quality. Why are they the same? It's a screen mounted inside a goggle that you put in front of your eyes. It shows you 3D things, they have cameras that allow you view a video stream from the outside and overlay things on top of that. Extra screen? More precise eye tracking? Higher res? Way better on Apple's headset, but also way more expensive what else would you expect? Over time Apple will put out cheaper less featureful products, and Meta will make their hand and eye tracking better etc. Meta will include better integration with Windows/Mac for work, Apple will get beat saber, etc. In the very early days of iOS v Android, the two OSs were very distinct and choosing one or the other was a significant choice. By about version 5, the OSs were at feature parity, all phone makers had different phones at different price points, etc. The excitement was gone and we had mature capable phones all around. The VR headsets will play out the same way.
