Ineligible Picks

 26th August 2022 at 9:36am

Each host is currently forbidden from reusing the specified picks in any upcoming Keynote Games. They also cannot use the Annual picks in the next Annual Games. Each list is specific to each host, so while Stephen may not reuse from his own list, Federico could reuse a pick from Stephen's list.

Stephen's Forbidden Picks

Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Stephen Regular "The Apple Watch 10 brings an updated design inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra in some way"
  • Ungraded: "Action Button, flat glass or crown guard, for example"
Stephen Regular "There will be no second-generation Vision Pro announced in 2024"
Stephen Risky "Apple's CEO succession plan leaks"
Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Stephen Regular "There is no new hardware announced or released" 1
  • Was just "announced" but Stephen actually made it riskier to better fit his intent with the pick.
  • An announcement about Vision Pro in more countries doesn't make this wrong.
Stephen Regular "Apple mentions that it has created its own LLM" 1
  • Must be the term "large language model" or "LLM" in particular, but this could be in a session or the State of the Union keynote, not just the main event.
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".

Myke's Forbidden Picks

Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Myke Regular "The first OLED iPad is introduced"
Myke Regular "There is a new, larger, non-Pro iPad"
Myke Risky "A game made by a studio owned by Meta is released on Vision Pro"
Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Myke Regular "More flexibility for app icon placement on the iPhone home screen" 1
Myke Regular "Notification summaries are provided by a new AI system" 1
Myke Risky "visionOS 2 has keyboard passthrough when in an environment and it works with any keyboard, not just the ones Apple makes" -1

Federico's Forbidden Picks

Type2024 Annual RickiesScore
Federico Regular "The keyboard for iPad Pro is substantially redesigned for the first time since its introduction in 2020"
  • Federico's cohosts generously helped workshop some of the possible nitpicks out of the pick.
  • Ungraded: "function row, backlight, material change, multiple USB ports, different viewing angles"
Federico Regular "iOS 18 will bring new AI features based on LLMs with some generative capabilities"
Federico Risky "A new iPad Pro will feature..."
  • "... 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.
Type2024 WWDC RickiesScore
Federico Regular "There are some design and navigation updates to the Settings app across multiple platforms" 1
Federico Regular "There is a new system for changing the colors of icons on the home screen" 1
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
  • Non-graded: this is also why the next iPhone will have a physical camera button
