This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: A new round of Apple Vision Pro reviews gives us greater insight into what to expect from the high-priced headset. Is it utterly mind-blowing? Clunky and weird? So addictive that we’re doomed to a flat life in the boring 2D world when we take it off?
Sounds like all of the above!
Also on The CultCast:
- A rundown of new features coming soon to iOS 17.
- A respected analyst says iPhone can’t compete without these two key features … but at least one of them is nowhere in sight!
- Is that an unreleased iPad in a Vision Pro cover story?
- We’re giving away two rugged and waterproof Apple Watch bands from Lululook for all you sporty types.
