After learning more about the Apple Vision Pro, it turns out we were wrong about many things. In this episode, we discuss those topics and the response to the headset from people who got hands-on time with it. We also talk about whether or not you should own a small everyday carry camera like the Canon R50 over just your phone for photos and videos.
