Their wordsI had also been guessing a $499 price point, but given that it will be running on the two-generations-old A18 chip – the new Apple TV will have a newer chip? – which may again suggest that this product has been ready to roll for a while now, just waiting on Siri to get smart – it would seem to indicate a lower-price point.

Their wordsApple's would-be 'HomePod Hub' device starts to make a lot more sense if it launches alongside a bunch of other technology products for the home – and the best way to do that, fast, is with a deep partnership with a current player.

Their wordsI really think a lot of iPhone owners are about to learn how a minor crease is not a big deal, and the "Apple will never ship a phone with a noticeable crease" folks will realize that a minor crease isn't a huge deal (even if it would be nice to totally eliminate one day).

Their wordsThe Meta VR Glasses, which effectively shrink the Apple Vision Pro into a device that is one-sixth the weight and roughly one-third the price, appear to be a landmark development in the history of virtual reality.

Their wordsAside from out-Googling Google with their AI personal assistant Muse, it's arguably more impressive that Meta appears to have out-Apple'd Apple by turning the just-okay Quest into what sure sounds like a better version of the Vision Pro.

Their wordsIf you see Apple add GPU cores in a processor generation, it's most likely doing so because the actual GPU cores aren't particularly improved, so to make the chip faster, it piles in more.

Better yet, I wanna mutate my computer, and this is where the agentic age needs a new operating system. When you can vibe code whatever app comes to your mind, you should be able to vibe code your operating system.

Their wordsthis is something I think Apple just does better than anyone else. And I think it's partially because of sort of this like one-year release cycle thing.

And you can go back to the beginning and it's like people kind of almost expect that disruption as part of the process.
