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.

That said, I still fear the possible flakiness of an A-series powered XDR replacement, because this XDR has just worked like a dumb peripheral, which is exactly what you want it to do. I don't even want to know there's anything computery inside it, especially since this thing does not have a power button, which Apple is still obsessed with, right?

So if there was something wrong with it, power cycling would be a pain, but thankfully I've pretty much never had to do that. So I think my, you know, I'm happy with Macs. They are the way it is. Talk about if you're waiting for a mouse keyboard, like I said, or monitors to be revised, don't hold your breath.

There's been rumors of new monitors for Macs for years and years, but it seems like maybe those projects are started internally and then scrubbed and started again and then scrubbed and started again and then scrubbed and just go around and around until one of them actually escapes the company and lets you buy it. And that hasn't happened for a while.
