Fun and games on Apple Vision Pro plus Apple's next releases on the AppleInsider Podcast

First-day Apple Vision Pro buyers are at the point they have to decide whether or not to return the headset to an Apple Store

It's hard to believe that the Apple Vision Pro is still new, but we've only now reached the stage where first-day buyers have to consider whether to return their headset or not. All the signs are that Apple is seeing about the same level of returns as it does on any new device.

But Apple Vision Pro is certainly seeing more attention than any recent iPhone, it's seeing more attention than Apple's last new platform, the Apple Watch in 2015. Part of this is that there is so much to examine and this week's podcast sees some specific details examined.

Such as the audio quality on an Apple Vision Pro compared to HomePod mini. Such as the new spatial games that Apple has announced.

And such as the biggest question of them all — whether Apple Vision Pro is yet an everyday tool or is destined to be forgotten in a drawer next to all the previous VR headsets.

Plus, we're midway through February already and it's time to look ahead to what new Apple devices we can expect soon.
