iPad mini 7, Apple Vision Pro 2, and another executive leaving Apple on AppleInsider podcast

New iPad mini with A17 Pro

This week saw the surprise launch of the new iPad mini and the predictable criticism it received, as well as new rumors about the future of the Apple Vision Pro.

We enjoyed “Submerged” on the Apple Vision Pro — and AppleInsider profiled two former Navy SEALs who loved it. But then, after you took down the all-encompassing, all-encompassing Apple Vision Pro displays, Apple followed up with a slightly smaller release.

This week saw the surprise release of the new iPad mini 7. If you're an iPad mini fan, you were thrilled and excited.

But if you're not a fan, you weren't. The new iPad mini may only be the smallest update to the device, but in practice it's enough to make host Wesley Hilliard very happy.

Find out if he bought it — the answer won't be shocking — and join us in a game of “Where Will the Last Exited Apple Exec End Up?”

BONUS:Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear AppleInsider+, an extended episode that takes the usual step back from the news this time around and instead focuses on the bigger picture. Since last week we talked about the bad things Apple does — see the unions, see the suppliers — now it's time for the good. It's a much murkier, harder-to-define side, but there's a reason you and we use Apple hardware.
