While Meta attempts to license its headset OS to hardware manufacturers, and Apple tries to court enterprise uses cases for  Vision Pro, we discuss if there’s a future for the form factor at all.

We dissect MKBHD's Ai Pin review and backlash, reflect on our own tech review experiences, if Ai gadgets have a future, game emulators are now on iPhone, Jason is very sorry about his Threads takes, but also now has an Apple Vision Pro!
