Meta is discontinuing the Quest Pro two years after launching it

- ramesh31 2y agoThe hardware is obsolete. It was only ever really meant to be an early dev kit for Quest 3.

- ycombinatrix 2y agoApple has never released a VR headset
- timeon 2y agoIs this reference to 1984?
- talldayo 2y agoNonsense. Now that Quest Pro has exited the market, everyone in the high-end consumer VR segment will come clamoring for a chance to buy Apple's headset. Because everyone knows; spending thousands of dollars on a VR headset with no content is a purchase nobody regrets, whether they buy Meta or Apple's hardware.
- stemlord 2y agoApple doesn't really build products for niche markets. Serving niche markets doesn't mean death to the sane buisness owner
- vid 2y agoI hope HTC can keep the torch burning. They're a small player against some real giants. Their newest headset has two USB-C ports, even though it already has eye tracking built in (unlike Quest). Making it more open ended is good for the ecosystem, users and could reduce obsolescence.

- underseacables 2y agoI gave my Quest away as soon as Facebook bought the company. The requirement to have a Facebook account was not a bridge that I wanted to cross. As far as I am concerned the product line is dead.
- nickthegreek 2y agoYou no longer need to a Facebook account.
- CodesInChaos 2y agoI believe you still need a meta account.
- Urgo 2y agoFor what its worth, I have a Quest Pro and am quite happy with it. I don't use VR a ton, but compared to the Quest 2 I preferred the Quest Pro hands down. I have not tried the Quest 3 to compare though. That said, I thought it was already discontinued already a year ago.
