I love Zuck’s passion, but this is delusional.

I am so biased to prefer the Meta Quest as a Meta Quest dev…

AVP has a magnetic pull. I want to use it more and more every day. I find excuses to use it.

I don’t have that experience with any Meta Quest product

Classic nerd not understanding how both developers and normal people perceive Apple products.

Apple wants you to be a user of their computing ecosystem. Meta wants you to be a character in their world.

This difference is felt in every interaction across both devices.

Appreciator/beneficiary is exactly it. It’s like “you’ve put all this effort into using our ecosystem, now look how delightful of an experience this enables for you.”

So well put, but “user” doesn’t capture the full depth of it for me with Apple. 

It’s like I can feel that they want me to be… an appreciator, a beneficiary, a sacred guest.

There is just *such* high attention to both the functionality and the sustainability of my aesthetic experience.
