Without naming Apple, Zuckerberg told The Verge, “It’s certainly plausible that they see this competition in the future and want to hinder us.”
He was alluding to a VR set that Apple aims to launch.
Zuckerberg added, “I think one thing that’s been pretty clear is that their motives in doing the things that they’re doing are not as altruistic as they claim them to be.”
