Thoughts on Apple Vision Pro and WWDC 2023!
Episode Description
It's WWDC time! In this episode we break down everything Apple announced at its annual developer conference, from iOS to MacOS to.. VisionOS? Unfortunately, in order to fit everything we had to skip on doing trivia in this episode, but don't worry! If wacky tech trivia is what you live for (like us), we did a trivia collab with the Vergecast where we went head-to-head so make sure to check that out! We also hopped on at the end of their emergency WWDC podcast for a fun lightning round at the end. There's a ton to get into with everything that Apple announced. This is a long one, but we hope you enjoy!
