| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Mac Power Users. I'm David Sparks and joined as always by your friend of mine, Mr. Stephen |
| 0:07.7 | Hackett. Hello, Stephen. Hey, David. How are you? I am doing great. Thanks for asking. And it is time |
| 0:13.9 | for a feedback episode of the old Mac Power Users. It's always fun to do these episodes. Got a lot of great |
| 0:20.8 | feedback. Thank you, |
| 0:21.6 | everybody, for sending in questions. We're going to be talking about lots of Mac and tech stuff. |
| 0:26.7 | I'm going to be checking in on my Rivian, and we got a full load here, buddy. |
| 0:32.3 | You know, September is so busy, and by the time this is out on Sunday, October may already be busy. Apple's got some |
| 0:39.7 | stuff in the hopper. It seems like for October, it's a busy time of year. So we've got lots |
| 0:45.0 | stuff to talk about. And today on more power users, which is the longer and ad-free version of |
| 0:51.7 | the show that we do each and every week, we're going to talk about Apple's potential pivot with the Vision Pro. You know, are they going to drop the Vision Pro? They're going to go to glasses. What are they doing there? So we're going to get caught up on the news and rumors and do a little bit of a Vision Pro check-in for members. If you want to learn more about more power users, there is a link in the show notes. |
| 1:12.5 | We'd love for you to go check it out. |
| 1:14.8 | Yeah, you can find that at relay.fm slash MPU. |
| 1:18.5 | So let's get started with the hardware and software check-in. |
| 1:22.3 | When last we saw our daring heroes, you had two iPhones on your desk. You had the 17 Pro and the iPhone error. |
| 1:32.7 | What happened? Yeah. So both phones are really good. And I spent about 10, well, not 10 days, about a week or so with my ESIM in the pro and about a week with the ESM in the air. |
| 1:51.6 | And man, that process, I will say, I didn't include it in the outline, but we did get to email for somebody about like, hey, what's to deal with ESIM? |
| 1:59.3 | It works really well. |
| 2:00.8 | Like, I'm on AT&T, but I've |
| 2:02.6 | got friends on Verizon and T-Mobile, and it's really straightforward to move your ESM to a new |
| 2:09.0 | phone or in between phones. Like iOS just makes it so simple. So I was like bouncing my |
| 2:14.9 | ESM all over the place and no problems whatsoever. |
| 2:21.8 | But I did settle on the 17 Pro. |
