"AirPower will come out the first week of December 2018" |

"Apple teases another Mac, that is not for sale right now, with Pro in the name, and says that it is coming next year" |
-1 |
| - It was originally "Mac product", but there was some controversy over whether that includes accessories and displays. Ultimately, Myke upped the difficulty and removed the word "product".

"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.

"A new base model Mac mini is introduced with the M2 chip..." |
-1 |
| - "... The new Mini is at least 30% smaller than the current one. It's thicker, but narrower, making it more similar to an Apple TV or Intel NUC."
- In other words, closer to a cubic shape, but not necessarily a cube. Although Federico loves cubes, so that would be great.
- The base model would get updated the next year, but it's the same shape.
