have a little bit uh different perspective on this uh event this year for whatever reason i mean maybe i've been like this for years and i would have the the same stance no matter what happened but like let me uh give you some framing here um as people who listen to this uh show know i like uh desktop macs with big gpus in them um i like uh sedans with stick shifts

Neither one of those things are particularly popular or in fashion, and they haven't been for a long time. Mac desktops with big GPUs, that is, not regular personal computer desktops. And so why do I see an event like this? I can understand why some people won't be like, ho-hum, whatever, especially if you, you know, repetition of stuff that we already know because we write WWC and everything.

But the way I look at it is... Every single year, Apple comes out with a new phone and they try to make it better than the previous phone in a bunch of interesting ways. They try to learn from mistakes from past phones. They try out new ideas. And then if those ideas don't work, they try something else a few years later. They try to improve on it in every possible way.

Can we make it more water resistant? Can we make the battery life better? Can we make it lighter? Can we make it a little bit bigger? Maybe we should make a smaller one. Every year, they are working on that product. And this year is no different.

I think this is actually a fairly significant year for the hardware itself, just looking at it, that it has at least one very big different thing than it had before, and they changed all the other stuff.

And I would say as someone who is out there not being catered to by the people who are making new automobiles or new desktop Macs, that you should appreciate the fact that every single year, the product you want and that we all like to use is getting better. We're not out there going, gee, I wonder if they'll ever update the product that I care about. Right?

Will they ever make another one of those? If they do make another one of those, will they make it worse or will they make it better? Every single year, Apple, A, puts out an iPhone that's usually pretty good, and B, tries to make it better than the last one and usually succeeds in some small way.

And that may seem boring until you are a devoted customer of a product that isn't getting that kind of attention. Like, say, stick shift four-door sedans with enough headroom for me. Right? Right. And you would kill for them to every year just make a better version of that or try a different idea, right? And you look back and you don't appreciate it.

Remember every year they'd come up with a new Honda Accord and I would either like it or I would not like it. And maybe the styling would be to my taste or not taste. But I said, well, if I don't like this generation, wait till next year. There'll be another one. They get another crack at it or whatever. And then that stopped happening.

And suddenly all those years where it's like, oh, it's just another Accord. All they did is like the same as the previous Accord, but they changed it a little bit. Oh, it's got different headlights. Who cares, right? Yeah.

You will come to appreciate that if someday Apple moves on from the phone and is just too busy selling, I don't know, the successor to the Vision Pro or something like that, right? And I know it's kind of silly because it's like, well, it's the smartphone. It's the most popular consumer product in the history of the planet, right? It's not like it's going to go away or whatever.
