It was three days worth of press releases, yada, yada.

And I know like what they announced was not, there's no new product category.

They're not transitioning chip architecture.

It's like significance wise.

It's not like it's the, you know,

ipad or the vision pro or the apple watch or something but boy is it a lot of products in a short period of time and the only real like hitch to the schedules that the the uh m5 pro and max laptops essentially got delayed until spring when they normally would have been back then but still even not even not accounting for those this is a lot of products in a short period of time so that's why even though this is not a quote-unquote apple event even though there was an apple experience uh no follow-up and this is just a lot of stuff a lot of stuff to cover a lot of goodies all at one time

yep very much so so uh you have in here john ipad a18 dnf did not finish yeah of all the rumored items because obviously i have like the bullet points for all these items and based on the rumors that was the only one that didn't show up which is also rare normally like there's rumors of like four or five things but like we know that the top three are the ones that are definitely going to be there and then maybe a fourth or something and usually the fourth doesn't show up this time they all showed up except for the new uh presumably a18 powered plain old ipad but that's a boring product anyway so nobody cares

Yeah, it's just, you know, they stuck an M4 on the iPad Air.

It's always interesting to see how they save money on these when they put them in the lesser products.

So it's got an M4, but it's, you know, it's...

Binned, as they say, in a particular way.

So you can get it with an 8-core CPU, which is 3P cores and 5E cores.

And yes, we're going to talk about those later.

But a full M4 is 4P cores and 6E cores.

So it's down 1P and it's down 1E to save money.

The GPU is missing a core.

It's 9-core instead of 10.

And the RAM is 12 gigs, which is an increase over the iPad Air, which only had 8 gigs.

So that's nice.

You get the N1 and the C1X, which is really nice.
