Okay, so there's been a lot of rumors recently about the iPhone SE 4, and we wanted to talk about a few of them, but we also wanted to mention, or John wanted to mention something with regard to our iPhone product mix that we discussed in the overtime from episode 609. So, John, what's up?

All right. So what are the rumors for the iPhone SE4? First of all, and this is from 9to5Mac, the SE4 is expected to be based on the iPhone 14 design, but with a single rear camera, 48 megapixels, same sensor as the iPhone 15, a 6.1-inch OLED display with an iPhone 14-sized notch, and USB-C. It is not expected to have a camera control. It is unlikely to have an action button.

And people are saying it might even have that long-rumored Apple 5G modem. You never know. It could happen. This would mean no millimeter wave, which would make me very sad. Not that I'm buying an SE, but that's neither here nor there. It would have 5G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth on the single chip, and it is expected to launch in the spring.

Indeed. And speaking of things that are forthcoming, do we want to briefly talk about the theoretical Apple October event and maybe some new Macs coming?

I am so very ready to excise what small amount of lightning exists in my life out of my life. And so even though, honestly, it is not at all burdensome to have a keyboard and mouse that charge via lightning. Well, I should say trackpad. It is burdensome to harpoon the turtle, as you said. For the trackpad and the keyboard, it is not burdensome to have lightning.

I just have a lightning cable draped off the back of my beloved Calgigit TS4, and occasionally I plug them in when they need to be charged. But that being said, it's one of those things that's just like, ugh, crazy. Gross. Lightning just gives me the ick now. I just want to be done with it.

And so I would very, very much like if it would be possible to get these peripherals, even if they're not really refreshed, like you were saying, just these exact peripherals, but with USB-C, please and thank you.

Yeah, I don't need a new Mac Mini in my life. I have one. I have an M1 Mac Mini that I had gotten refurbished, if I remember correctly, and that's what runs Plex and Channels and not too much else, to be completely honest with you. I have zero need to replace that Mac Mini, but if there's like a little puck-looking thing... Oh, man, that's going to be tempting. It's really going to be tempting.

Well, you should have kept it inside.

John, let me tell you right now, if for some reason we got an invite to go and because you refused to leave your house for any reason whatsoever, you didn't go, and then they released the Mac Pro, you are fired from the show, sir.
