This week on Cult of Mac’s podcast: With the M5 chip, Apple silicon blows our minds once again with its insane combination of performance and efficiency. How does Apple keep pulling this off?
We discuss all the lustworthy new hardware that the M5 powers: MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro.
Also on The CultCast:
- What’s the new Vision Pro headset’s biggest upgrade? Hint: It’s not the chip.
- If you’re picking up a new iPad Pro, you really should go big on storage.
- How did the upcoming Steve Jobs commemorative $1 coin go so hilariously wrong?
