The words of Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of the giant company, which has used the name Facebook for years, and now continues to serve as Meta, in a meeting with his employees, were revealed. The meeting, apparently held at the beginning of July, focused on the rivalry between Apple and Meta rather than Meta. Mark Zuckerberg thinks that Meta and Apple will be a very tight competitor.
As you may know, Apple has been working on augmented reality glasses for a long time. Similarly; Meta also continues to work on augmented and virtual reality products. This situation has made Apple and Meta rivals. Mark Zuckerberg explained the extent of this rivalry as follows: We compete with Apple to determine which direction the internet will take. What was meant here was metaverse technology.
“This is a competition of ideas and ideology”
According to Mark Zuckerberg, the products that Meta will launch will be much cheaper than the products that Apple will launch. Also, Meta has an open structure. In other words, it does not have a closed operating system like Apple and the products it will launch do not focus only on its own brand. Mark Zuckerbeg states that this difference between the two giants consists of a competition of ideas and ideology.
By the way; Mark Zuckerberg isn’t sure whether open systems or closed source systems are better for metaverse technologies. “It’s not really clear whether an open or closed ecosystem would be better.” Zuckerberg said, despite everything, he is proud of the investment they have made in this sector. Apple spokespersons did not say anything about the Meta founder’s statements.
