Thank you so very much to Aura Frames for sponsoring the show.

All right, so as we record this, it is Wednesday, the 25th of February, and in a week on March 4th, Apple is going to have an experience, an Apple experience.

And so Jess Weatherbed at The Verge, Apple is hosting a special Apple experience in New York City on Wednesday, March 4th at 9 a.m.

Eastern, instead of at the Apple Park location it typically uses for events.

It's also hosting press in the cities of London and Shanghai at the same time.

The invitation includes the words, you're invited, and an Apple logo depicted in segmented discs of yellow, green, and blue, the rumored colors of the new low-cost MacBook.

Otherwise, it provides no hints about the purpose of the so-called experience.

However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has previously said that he's expecting Apple to launch a low-cost A18 Pro chip-powered MacBook and new MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, and Mac displays over the course of the next several weeks, alongside the iPhone 17E, a new base model iPad, and an M4 iPad Air.

And maybe we'll even see a preview of Apple's new AI-infused Siri, which we'll find out later.

It's probably not so likely after all.

But, yeah, this is happening a week from today.

I know I was not invited.

As far as I know, neither of you two were, right?

Okay.

Unless – I didn't hear John, but maybe – I was not invited.

But with laptops... I mean, why would you, John?

You know, can you, can you imagine if the new low cost MacBook also offered a cellular chip?

I will say outright, I don't think that'll happen.

Agreed, agreed.
