Zuckerberg Says Apple's Culture is Not Like Meta's

Meta and Apple have increasingly been rivals, and Mark Zuckerberg only expects their competition to intensify in the coming years. From a report: 'I think in a lot of ways we're like the opposite of Apple,' Zuckerberg said. 'Clearly, their stuff has worked really well too. They take this approach that's like, 'We're going to take a long time, we're going to polish it, we're going to put it out,' and maybe for the stuff that they're doing that works, maybe that just fits with their culture.'

Zuckerberg went on to say Meta approaches product releases differently, saying, 'there are a lot of conversations that we have internally where you're almost at the line of being embarrassed at what you put out.' 'You want to really have a culture that values shipping and getting things out and getting feedback more than needing always to get great positive accolades from people when you put stuff out,' he continued.

He also took the opportunity to critique Apple's approach. 'If you want to wait until you get praised all the time, you're missing a bunch of the time when you could've learned a bunch of useful stuff and then incorporated that into the next version you're going to ship,' he said. Zuck said one of his goals for the next 10 or 15 years is 'to build the next generation of open platforms and have the open platforms win.'
