In episode 223, Donna shares why she decided to take a chance on the iPhone Air. . . and why she regrets her choice! She also shares why she’s keeping the AirPods Pro 3 (with Live Translation, a heart rate sensor, and plus improved battery and noise cancellation). David and Donna also ponder Apple’s quiet product release in October—why is the new M5 MacBook Pro display only 14 inches? Does the Vision Pro’s upgraded chip and redesigned strap make it more comfortable to wear?
