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.

But another way to look at it, another perspective. I'm not saying people's opinions on it are wrong or their feelings on it are wrong. But another perspective is, hey, if you're interested in phones at all, isn't it kind of nice that they keep making new ones that are a little bit better? Especially if, like me, you don't get a new one every single year.

so that you can just kind of wait and see it's like oh do you like this phone does it appeal to you do you not like the colors do you want to wait and see on that whole capture button thing or whatever wait till next year you know what next year there's gonna be another thing that is a smartphone that's called an iphone that caters to people who like iphones and they'll try something different with that one and then again and then again and then again and i just want to sit here and appreciate that because that isn't always the case uh and i happens that i do like phones and i do appreciate the fact that

They make a new one every year. And by the way, this is my year to get a new phone. So I was excited by the fact that they're going to make a new phone for me to buy. And I'm going to have a new shiny thing. And it will be an upgrade over my iPhone 14 because I've waited two years. So yeah, I didn't like...

that's that's why i come away from these events like i don't expect to be blown away i don't expect to be like the vision pro intro i just wanted to see and honestly like listen to past episodes we knew almost everything that was going to be in this thing it's like it's not even surprises but it's like but yeah but now you get to actually buy them now you actually get to see how apple presents them see all their their nice product photography on their website and hear all the stuff about it or whatever

The final thing I'll say is that I agree with the people who said this presentation was weird and that Apple decided to try something different this year and really, really, really shy away from talking about anything that has a number associated with it. Not entirely. They did talk about, oh, the CPU is X percent faster. We'll talk about it when we get to the individual products.

They normally are more spec heavy than they have been. And it's not because they had anything to hide or there's anything shameful. They were just like... I remember when the watch section was done and we were wondering, so are there two sizes or one? It's not a secret. They're not hiding it. And it's not like, oh, we don't want to be too techy. Don't tell them there are two sizes.

There was a distinct lack of... And I don't know if that's good or bad. It was just weird for us because we're making a show where we're going to tell you about all the technical details. So we have to look them up. And it's like, couldn't you just told us? Right. But it's an interesting strategy, as Marco said, as the event, the one event that most people in the world watch.

This is Apple's opportunity to talk to the whole world. And maybe they just thought they were boring people with a bunch of stuff that's interesting to us, but not relevant to them. even the fact that there are two Apple Watch Series 10 sizes. People don't care about that. They'll just go in the store. They'll see there's two of them. They'll pick the one they want.

It's not important enough to even include in the presentation. I thought that was weird. I don't like it personally, but maybe it turns out to be the best way to communicate to the rest of the world. We'll see.

The Apple Watch really makes the 911 look radical from generation to generation.
