Meta may discontinue its high-end virtual reality (VR) headset, and some experts say the move calls into question the success of Apple's Vision Pro.

A new report claims that Meta has told suppliers that it will not be ordering new components for the Quest Pro. Meta has denied that it has any plans to discontinue the Quest Pro, but the rumors highlight the headwinds facing companies trying to sell expensive VR headsets.
"This isn't the only factor telling us that Apple could struggle to sell expensive headsets," Emma Ridderstad, co-founder of VR company Warpin Reality, told Lifewire in an email interview. "From the collective groan from the audience at the WWDC announcement to the news that the number of Vision Pro headsets being produced has dropped dramatically, there are signs that Apple could struggle."
The Quest Pro launched last year as a professional headset for mixed reality, merging a real-world environment with a computer-generated one. Meta praised its improved design, controllers, and improved lenses.
