Episode notes
Experience Events Focus On Demos Not Broadcast
- Apple will announce products via press releases and videos while hosting simultaneous hands-on “experience” events in New York, London, and Shanghai.
- Jason Snell expects demos and storytelling at the events rather than a single staged livestream presentation.
Colorful Aluminum MacBook Possibility
- Apple may release a colorful small aluminum laptop using a new aluminum process rather than plastic to hit a lower price point.
- Color testing suggests Apple is exploring non-monochrome finishes for a new MacBook-style product.
Plan For Hands-On Coverage At Experiences
- Expect Apple to publish announcement materials (press releases and videos) at product drop time and use the experiences for hands-on follow-ups.
- If you attend, plan to gather hands-on impressions rather than waiting for new news from the event floor.
