ย 7th January 2025 at 5:08pm

The Rules

In the regular pick round, a host may make an extra regular pick if one of their picks from the previous 3 corresponding games was incorrect at the time but has since come true, as per The Bill of Rickies.

This page shows each host's incorrect picks from that game type. This publication tracks picks that were ahead of their time, but this is an unofficial ruling, so it is merely presented for convenience.

  • Ungraded: probably a new Mac mini
Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Stephen Risky "Apple previews a new visionOS feature that puts overlays over the camera passthrough with information about objects in view" -1
  • Was originally "app" instead of "feature".
Type2024 September RickiesScore
Stephen Regular "The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro are larger than their predecessors" 0

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Myke's incorrect picks from the last 3 Keynote Games

Type2024 May RickiesScore
Myke Risky "The iPad Pro gets MagSafe charging, but it's not what you thinkโ€ฆ" -1
  • "Not the MagSafe an iPhone has."

Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Myke Risky "visionOS 2 has keyboard passthrough when in an environment and it works with any keyboard, not just the ones Apple makes" -1

Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Federico Risky "Apple shows a 'Siri Camera' (not official name) feature that lets you point the iPhone at something and use AI to understand what you're looking at" -1

Annual Games

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Stephen's incorrect picks from the last 3 Annual Games

Type2022 Annual RickiesScore
Stephen Regular "The 11" iPad Pro gets a mini LED display" 0
  • This was originally "WWDC 2022 will be virtual", but that was very close to last year's pick, which was within the 365 day limit. It was a borderline judgement, but ultimately they decided they didn't like the precedent.
Stephen Regular "The iPad's external display support goes unchanged" 0
  • Was originally "By December 31, 2022, no Intel Macs will remain on sale as new machines", but this was also too close for comfort, although arguably the previous pick was more permissive than this would have been.
  • Stage Manager in fact brought major changes.
Stephen Risky "Apple (of its own choice, not in direct response to a legal case) will allow developers to use payment methods outside the App Store" -1
Type2023 Annual RickiesScore
Stephen Risky "Apple releases an iPad Pro with a screen between 15.0 and 15.9999 inches which replaces the 11-inch model" -1
  • Was originally just "15 inch" but a specific range was requested after Federico's pick was read.
Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Stephen Regular "The Apple Watch 10 brings an updated design inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra in some way" 0
  • Ungraded: "Action Button, flat glass or crown guard, for example"
Stephen Risky "Apple's CEO succession plan leaks" -1
  • Midway through the year... an interesting development, but the grading debate hasn't been had yet.
  • Ultimately, Jason Snell adjudicates and gives the thumbs down.

Type2022 Annual RickiesScore
Myke Risky "The new Mac Pro will be..." -1
  • "... smaller, not a cube shape, feature no support for the current MPX modules and/or will allow for some form of expandability outside of Thunderbolt. It will be only be available in one color."
  • Another "and/or" added to a pick, which happened a few times this episode. It applies to just the MPX modules and expandability clause.
Type2023 Annual RickiesScore
Myke Risky "Apple shows off their headset in March, they announce developer tools at WWDC, then show it off again at an event in September. It ships to customers in October" -1
Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Myke Risky "A game made by a studio owned by Meta is released on Vision Pro" -1

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Federico's incorrect picks from the last 3 Annual Games

Type2022 Annual RickiesScore
Federico Regular "At least one AirPods model will support lossless music playback" 0
Federico Risky "iOS 16 brings major changes for systemwide design customization" -1
  • Also, "Apple will let users choose their own app icons, and they'll introduce new App Store categories for wallpaper and/or icon apps"
  • A reuse and double down of last year's Flexie.
Type2023 Annual RickiesScore
Federico Risky "Apple will release its biggest iPad ever with a display of at least 16 inches..." -1
  • "... It won't be OLED, it'll have the front-facing camera on the landscape side, and two USB-C ports at least. It'll be called iPad Studio."
Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Federico Risky "A new iPad Pro will feature..." -1
  • "... a front-facing camera on the landscape side, higher than 27W fast charging, and eventually support more than 4 windows in the same Stage Manager workspace."
  • Before the episode, this pick also included the detail of some models coming with more than 16 GB of RAM, but in keeping with the new, less outlandish tone of risky picks, Myke asked that it be toned down a bit.
  • In the new rules, this would've earned some points, but with some parts wrong, it's wrong.
