Apple has a touchpoint with millions of people each year, and that will be key to its VR strategy.

Meta Platforms (META 0.43%) may have a big head start on Apple (AAPL -0.35%) in virtual reality, but there's a big difference in how their products will get into consumers' hands. Apple will be able to control the user experience from Day 1, which Meta can't compete with. Travis Hoium discusses this more in this video.
