Where they gave us the ports back and put in more battery life and did a little bit of, you know, function over form by saying, let's just make it rectangular because that leaves more room for battery. The test comes when it's time to make the new revision. Do they go back to their old ways?

Do they say, you know, we can make it really skinny if we got rid of that HDMI port or we got rid of the SD card or whatever, right? I keep thinking back to like the MacBook Air, like the 2011 generation of MacBook Air. The MacBook Air used to have an SD card slot, folks.

right macbook air it wasn't like a pro only feature somehow on the thinnest lightest laptop they made they found room for an sd card slot whereas now it's like i don't know 16 inch macbook pro i'm not sure we can put an sd card slot in there so you know that's again that's not this year that's rumors are maybe next year or the year after so watch for that that will be a good uh test uh but yeah in the meantime like i agree this could be a press release uh thing despite the mac mini

being a big deal. You know what it would make for a Mac event that they would want to actually have an anniversary event would be if they announced perhaps the world's fastest personal computer or something impressive like that, but alas, that is not what they're announcing.

I would go. I mean, it would be a WWDC announcement. I'm going to WWDC if I get an invite next year.

I don't think they're going to do it in a separate. Again, the rumors are that both the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro are potentially announceable around June of next year. I mean, the Mac Pro probably wouldn't be ready, but that doesn't stop them. They'll announce it and ship it three months later. Who cares, right? But yeah, no, I'm there. I'm at WWDC. That's my event. Don't forget about me, Apple.

Six, five. 2019, right?

Price hasn't changed, but with inflation, it actually is cheaper now.

I feel like that is the test. That's what everyone's afraid of is like, oh, are they going to put like an A19 in the monitor and it's going to be flaky like the studio was? Until they get all the firmware updates. Like, should a little mini version of iOS be running on an iPhone chip inside your monitor? Or should it be more like the XDR, which was in the...

the days when Apple was willing to use whatever weird chips they have inside this thing to do, like, to the, you know, image processing and run the USB hub and whatever. It's like, Apple just decided, like, why are we paying for these chips from all these different manufacturers to do this stuff and dealing with this weird firmware?

Why don't we just put an A-series chip in there and put our own OS on it? And the answer was, because you're not very good at that. And, yeah, the Mac Studio was a little bit flaky. But, you know, my wife's got a Mac Studio that's right behind me, and whatever flakiness there was in the beginning... She has had no complaints on it, and it has never done anything weird.
