Meta has canceled work on a high-end mixed reality headset due to the high cost of micro OLED displays, conflicting with Apple’s Vision Pro using similar technology. Meta is instead focusing on the Quest 4, priced at $500, and emphasizing software over hardware. The Vision Pro struggled to gain consumer appeal shortly after launch, causing Apple to shift focus to a lower-cost model. In other news, Apple is expected to debut the iPhone 16, Apple Watch 10, and AirPods 4 in September, with various rumored camera improvements and upcoming M4 chip-equipped Mac models.
