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.

I'm just saying if it comes with lightning already, you can just harpoon your little turtle with the lightning connector that comes with your iMac and you're all set. But I guess most people probably use their keyboards in Bluetooth mode. So I don't know. But anyway, they should definitely upgrade to USB-C. And it would be nice if they did that in this event. But it's interesting that here we are.

By the time you're listening to this, these could have already been announced. And we still don't know if they're going to get rid of lightning on the peripherals or if they're just going to keep them the same and swap out the CPU.

And the other things that are rumored, obviously we've talked about the smaller Mac Mini in past episodes. That's the rumor. It'll be redesigned for the first time in, I think, 14 years or something. The case will be much smaller than it was.

Yeah, and it's supposed to have a lot of ports on it.

Yeah, and it's supposed to have a lot of ports on it.

Hopefully the pricing won't be too ridiculous. But yeah, I think a lot of people will be tempted by the shrink on these because they're going to be good machines. And I think the rumor is M4 and possibly M4 Pro. That's the other thing about this announcement. We know what the M4 is. It's already in a bunch of Macs.

M4 Pro and M4 Max haven't really been super solid rumors about what exactly they contain. We think we know, like, oh, the Pro will be better than the M4. The Max will be better still. Like, there's been lots of Pro and Maxes on all the previous M series. But in the M3s, Apple changed it up a little bit, and the Pro is different than it was in the M1 Pro and the M2 Pro, right?

And so we really don't know what they're going to do with the M4 Pro and the M4 Max at this point. Except to say that, yeah, in the MacBook Pros, presumably, there'll be M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max-based MacBook Pros as well. And so we'll find out how much GPU, how many cores, What are the clock speeds like? What is the cooling like? You know, these are all N3E processors, presumably.

And so this should be exciting. We've waited a while. Like, the M4 debuted in the iPad, of all things, and then came to a bunch of the Macs. Now it's going to be coming to even more Macs. But we're finally getting to, like, the... I'm not going to say the good chips, because the M4 is a good chip. But, like, the more powerful chips, the beefier chips.

Nothing big and fancy like anything ultra-sized or Mac Pro. All those rumors are pushed way out into next year. The Mac Studio, in fact, the latest rumors of the Mac Studio, which might have been scheduled for spring next year, is now looking more like it might be pushed more towards June. And at that point, they might as well just save it for WWDC. And the Mac Pro, same thing.

If you're lucky, it gets announced at WWDC and ships much later in the year. So, no, don't have any expectations that you're going to see anything beyond an M4 Max chip, but... You know, because these things tend not to leak, for all we know, they've decided to stop naming them Pro and Max. Maybe there's only one of them and that has a different suffix. Who knows?
