M7 chip coming sooner than expected, visionOS 27 features, Ask9to5Mac

Benjamin and Chance react to the news from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman that Apple is accelerating the roadmap for the M7 series of Apple Silicon chips, somewhat at the expense of the as-yet-unreleased M6 line. Also, we break down what’s new in visionOS 27 and do some summer Ask9to5Mac questions.
