The iMore Show Podcast — Episode 868: Remember the Action button?
Takes on Spatial Video in iOS 17.2, Magic Mouse, and more.
On this week's episode of the iMore Show, Features Editor Daryl Baxter and Contributor Karen Freeman break down the reviews of the M3 Macs, the state of the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button, and more.
Karen wonders if Spatial Video is something she will use in iOS 17.2 and if these will be viewable on Apple Vision Pro headsets when they arrive at Apple Stores worldwide. Karen and Daryl also wonder if the Action button shipped with a fatal flaw, and much more.
Plus, they chat about some early Black Friday deals that have been spotted, before the event begins on November 24.

Daryl also published a now best-selling book available in shops and online, called 'The Making of Tomb Raider', which tells the story of the beginnings of Lara Croft and the series' early development. He's constantly being asked if a second book is being made. Who knows...

In his spare time, Daryl's usually found in a coffee shop, playing many retro games, such as Metroid Prime Remastered on the Switch. Alongside this, he's also constantly replaying Metal Gear Solid 3 to beat his time with The End, and quoting The Simpsons to whoever may be nearby.
