There’s an enormous space between $500 and $3500 Meta could and should fill with a Quest Pro 2. This headset should pair the eye and face tracking capabilities of Quest Pro with the next-generation chipset and room-aware high quality mixed reality sensor suite of Quest 3, while using higher end components with fewer design compromises.

It does seem like such a no-brainer to even just take the tech they’re already putting into production for the Quest 3, slam it into the Pro and ship it. They don’t have to add a single new component they don’t already have in their supply chain and completely understood by their engineering team.
A fast iteration on that could have a Quest Pro 2 shipping almost contemporaneously with when the Vision Pro actually becomes broadly available - middle of next year, and would give them a tremendously better opportunity to share in the wave of “pro” development that is likely to occur. The alternative - leaving Quest Pro as their only competitor, is likely to cause devs to just not ship a Quest version at all of whatever apps they are developing for the Vision Pro.
The probably will ship Pro 2 after Q3. The key thing to improve for Pro is resolution…it really needs to be 2x times higher to make it comfortable to use for work where reading/writing/coding is required. It’s miles better then Q2 but just not quiet there. Will be interesting to see what they deliver, will probably upgrade from Q1 to Q2.
