Apple Vision Pro showdown — for and against Apple's newest device on the AppleInsider Podcast

Apple Vision Pro is the most exciting new Apple device and/or it's the least useful. Host Wes Hilliard and AppleInsider managing editor Mike Wuerthele have both had the Apple Vision Pro since the day it was released yet they have dramatically different perspectives.

See who you agree with, see who convinces the other, while we also touch on all the Apple News of the week. Listen to the latest episode.

Plus now that the Apple Vision Pro is finally here after so very many years of rumors, it's time to get back to looking out for an iPhone Fold. By all accounts, Apple has been researching foldable devices for some time, but a new report says it is now working on at least two prototypes.

And while Apple used to go to any length to avoid saying the term "AI," it's now joined the government's AI safety initiative.
