Thanks, John. Yeah. All right, we have a handful of rumors from Mark Gurman, of course, and they all kind of interrelate a little bit, but we'll start with Apple's new chip for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Mark writes, codenamed Proxima, will replace some components currently supplied by Broadcom Inc.

This wireless chip will launch in some products next year, including, I guess that means 2025, including a new Apple TV HomePod Mini and the iPhone 17. The component will then come to other products during 2026. Um, and this is interesting. This is not surprising, but this is not the cellular modem chip that they've been fighting against for years now, right? This is something different.

Yeah, I think that's really the key is if it ends up in the iPhone, then I'm confident. Anywhere else, ugh.

Well, so Mark Gurman writes that Apple's Magic Mouse, which was introduced more than 15 years ago, 1-5, 15 years ago. Well, they've made some tweaks to it, but only minor ones. It moved from AA batteries to a rechargeable system, swapped in a lighter case with a smoother glide, and just a month or two ago, switched from a lightning connector to a USB-C port.

The good news is there's a new Magic Mouse in the works. Hooray! I'm told that Apple's design team has been prototyping versions of the accessory in recent months, aiming to devise something that better fits the modern era. Apple's looking to create something that's more relevant while also fixing longstanding complaints. Yes, including the charging port issue.

As for when the mouse will arrive, I wouldn't expect anything in the next... 12 to 18 months. Are you kidding me? What are you doing?

I was going to make the same point about how the laptops have gotten a lot better. You can make an argument since Johnny left. Maybe that's related. Maybe it's not. But I don't know. You're convincing me with it, not with being symmetrical, being bad, even if it's taller, like that argument you made a moment ago really has convinced me maybe this isn't. Maybe this isn't so great after all.

I don't know. I was really looking forward to it just in principle because, you know, again, the Magic Mouse is not well-liked from an ergonomic standpoint, from a general standpoint because people aren't using mice anymore, but now you really got me worried about the whole... them not being willing to make it ugly enough to be useful. So I don't know.

It's the best change I've made, was making the action button, the flashlight button. I told you, it's great. It's so good. I still use it for the Whole Foods app. Oh, gosh, John.
