I need a deck of iPad mini cards. It comes with a braided USB cable. There's no charger in the EU. You can pre-order it right now and it'll deliver on the 23rd, which is a week from today, actually. That's a weird time. Usually it's Friday, but it's this coming Wednesday.

You know, I used to be such an iPad mini mega fan years and years and years and years ago, and I haven't had one, golly, since maybe the first or second Retina one. It's been a long, long time. And I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it. It is a very neat device, and I've understood the new ones in particular, like even before this one, to be really great. But I don't know.

I just don't have a place for that in my life, I don't think.

All right, so Marco, I know that you've definitely done your homework on this. There is a new, about 15, 17 minutes, something like that, a short film that Apple has released exclusively on the Vision Pro. What did you think of Submerged, Marco?

All right, I'm going to have to see you after class.

Yeah, so this is, shoot, I already forgot the director's name, but he did some recent Western movie, I think. Oh, this is already going on to a great start. But, hey, that's all right. Basically, this is a 15-ish minute film about a World War II submarine, which, you know, something bad happens. I don't know. Can I spoil it? Should I spoil this? I don't even know what's appropriate.

thank you, who I think had just won an Oscar or something like that for one of his films.

Yeah, there is, but I'm not looking at it right now. Nice plug, though. I appreciate that. Anyways, so this is... It is unlike... It is unlike pretty much anything I've ever seen. So a lot of the Vision Pro stuff so far has either been CGI dinosaurs or let's tell a three to seven minute story about something or maybe 10 minutes tops. And it was more documentary style than it was anything else.

So as an example, I don't think we've talked about it on the show, but they came out like a month ago with a four or five minute sizzle reel on the most recent Super Bowl for American football. It's incredible. As someone who enjoys American football... This was an absolutely phenomenal, like four or five minutes sizzle reel, but again, like a documentary.

And to my knowledge and my recollection, as I sit here now, slightly sick with a cold, uh, I don't recall any other like scripted thing that has happened on the vision pro and certainly not anything that they've described as a scripted short film, which is how they describe submerged. And this is a 17 minute short film that is obviously scripted.

It's acted and it is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly cool. And I think one of the things that I find most amusing about it is trying to understand the language of the film and how do they leverage this medium to still accomplish the same thing that any filmmaker generally needs to do. So, for example, how do they point your attention at something? And one of the ways they do this...
