The MacVoices Live! panel of Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Ben Roethig, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Guy Serle, and Jim Rea finish off a session discussing reports of cracks in the Apple Vision Pro, the click-bait articles about the costs of parts for the device. They also touch on the iPhone taking 7 of 10 top spots in global iPhone sales, and the updated internet judgements on the FineWoven cases.
