The clashes between Apple and Facebook will most likely resemble a rough and tumble road battle

Apple and Google are, without a doubt, competitors. Consider all the wars they’ve waged on the battlefield over customers’ dead wallets and credit cards. There’s the iOS vs. Android debate, which has devolved into the Uncivil War because to consumer posts on tech forums.

There are competing apps such as Apple Maps, which is on the rise, and Google Maps, which is the current champion.

It’s not like Facebook and Apple haven’t had their share of verbal sparring before; we all recall Apple CEO Tim Cook telling the media that he would never make his customers the product as Facebook does (this came in the aftermath of the Cambridge Analytica scandal that saw 87 million Facebook subscribers have their personal data sold without their permission).

Apple’s App Tracking Transparency feature, according to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, is hurting small businesses. But it increasingly appears that the Facebook-Apple feud will be more than simply a verbal brawl.

We shared a photo of a smartwatch that Meta is rumoured to be releasing next year back in October. The next wearable will have an Apple-inspired design and a camera for video communications. According to Gurman, if Meta can successfully connect video chat with its timepiece, Apple will be forced to introduce a comparable function for the Apple Watch using its FaceTime platform.

The virtual reality headgear immerses the wearer, making him feel as though he is in a new area or even a different time period. An overlay is placed over a real-time image in augmented reality. Both businesses might include material for their mixed reality headsets that allows users to work out in a variety of locations using virtual reality. Apple may make its Fitness+ exercise app available for its mixed reality headset, as Gurman predicts.

Apple’s smart speakers, the HomePod, are available. Before Apple dropped the price, the full-sized variant was offered for an absurdly high price of $349. It released the HomePod tiny a year ago, and for $99, it has generated higher demand than the original model. Apple is about to get more involved in such devices, according to Gurman, who mentions two such products that Apple is reported to be working on.
