    PC users are switching to the Mac and even high-end Android owners are turning to the iPhone, and it's not just because of Apple's peculiar gift of Clash of Clans gems.

    Apple Vision Pro showdown -- for and against Apple's newest device on the AppleInsider Podcast

    Apple Vision Pro is the most exciting new Apple device and/or it's the least useful. Host Wes Hilliard and guest Mike Wuerthele have both had the Apple Vision Pro since the day it was released yet they have dramatically different perspectives. See who you agree with, see who convinces the other, while we also touch on all the Apple News of the week.

I like the show, but I’m not loving the audio quality. I’m not sure if it’s the mic’s or the mixing, but sometimes the audio quality forces me to turn it off.

Some other Dad took "Dad" ,

William is great. Wes cut the political commentary.

Can’t continue to subscribe with Wes as host. Wes stick to writing where you can be free to comment on politics but I listen to learn about Apple and not listen to your bloody dribble.

Apple Fanboys only need apply

This was one of the better podcasts on all things Apple with Robles but since he’s departed, it’s gone downhill quite a bit. I always enjoyed the shows w/Robles and Gallagher and much less the ones w/Hilliard and Robles. Now that it always Hilliard and Gallagher its more irritating than entertaining to listen to.

The biggest problem being Hilliard’s ability to project the 800LB gorilla that Apple is as the 90lb weakling on the beach that’s always getting sand kicked in his face. Hilliard is, unfortunately, that host that just can’t seem to grasp the reality of the situation that Apple really is the monopolistic bully that always and forever does what’s best for Apple at the expense of everyone else and will only do the right thing in many cases when forced to by legislation. Hilliard just can’t see that and so almost always come across as a defender and apologist for Apple. That gets tiresome and is why I’ll be moving on from Apple Insider
