maybe possibly yeah we've talked about this 5g modem for ages it's kind of interesting that you were saying like oh they probably don't want to roll out their very first uh cellular modem on a really important product line so you put it on the se so if you really messed up damage is minimal and it also looks like uh the modem won't even have millimeter waves so it's not even suitable for the pro phones assuming apple wants to continue having millimeter wave and by the way the ifixit teardowns of the uh like the current 16 pro and stuff

show that Apple went to some length to find a new place on the phone to put the millimeter wave stuff, because the camera control is kind of where the millimeter wave antenna used to be, and now it's, like, threaded through to the top of the phone and everything. So it seems like Apple is still on board with millimeter wave, at least in the U.S.

But, yeah, Apple's first 5G modem not supporting a dollar isn't interesting. I don't actually know if... In our current phones, obviously they have Qualcomm cellular modems. I don't know if they have a separate Broadcom chip or something for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. And if so, Apple combining 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth all into a single chip would be an upgrade.

But if not, it's just Apple trying to get away from Qualcomm to stop paying them money because they don't like them and every bit of profit that Qualcomm gets. It's a bit of profit that Apple doesn't get, so they want to own and control the core technologies, blah, blah, blah. Ergo, buy Intel's cell modem business and get yourself your own 5G modem.

It's just taking a long time, and fingers crossed that they don't screw it up. Very true. The new SE looks good, though. Like, so this is... Everyone's saying, like, finally the SE will be modernized. Like, it's not... It doesn't have the dynamic island, but it's all screen. Like, it's all... It's the current modern design. It's easier to repair. A single camera on the back is actually kind of fun.

Like, one good camera... For the cheap phone, instead of having multiple ones, it saves space, presumably makes more room for a bigger battery. As long as it's a good camera. It makes the phone look interesting and cute just having one little camera on it, kind of like a throwback, although obviously the camera is way bigger than it used to be.

I think the iPhone SE 4, which will probably be the iPhone SE parentheses A16. I don't even know what they said the SoC is supposed to be on this, but... It looks like a good year for the SE, unless the thing you liked about the SE was it being smaller, because guess what? It's going to be the same size as the iPhone 14, apparently.

That's interesting, the iMac rumor. It is in the crop of Macs that are due to be updated with M4 chips. And there's kind of a separate rumor of like, There is a version two of Apple's current crop of magic peripherals, the keyboards, the mouse.

And the rumor is vague enough to say, okay, well, a new version of the keyboard and mouse, is that just like take the existing keyboard and mouse and get rid of lightning and put USB-C? Because that would be welcome. Everyone wants it, right? Or is it like... Have they actually revised these products where the keyboard and the mouse are different?

I find that hard to believe, but, you know, the rumors are so vague and so new that who knows. But the final rumor is new iMacs M4, they still with lightning peripherals, but there will also be a USB-C variants of the mouse and keyboard. They just don't come with the iMac, which would be the most awful thing ever. Unless maybe if they're new or something like that. I don't know.

But anyway, yeah, the... It would be nice if they updated this peripherals not to be USB-C, but I don't think anyone with iMac is dying to do it. Because like, honestly, look, if the... If you've plugged in your... I guess people don't plug in their keyboards on iMacs. They probably just use a Bluetooth.
