Episode notes
Apple's March Launch Is A Multiday Product Week
- Tim Cook teased a multi-day product week starting Monday, likely including multiple Mac and iPad updates rather than a single flagship reveal.
- William and Wesley expect ~five products across three days: iPhone, two MacBooks, and two iPads based on Gurman leaks and Cook's tweet.
Low Cost MacBook Will Use An A-Series Chip
- Apple is rumoured to ship a low-cost 13-inch MacBook using an A-series (A18/A19 Pro) chip to hit a lower price point than M-series Macs.
- William says it will look like a slightly smaller 14-inch MacBook, target education/college, and may come in colors.
Touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro Rumors Remain Tentative
- A touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro redesign with Dynamic Island and new M6 chips is repeatedly rumored for winter 2026/2027 but remains unconfirmed.
- Wesley cautions this could follow the same uncertain leak cycle as the iPhone Fold and might shift timing.
