Apple plans a scary fast event for Halloween Eve. It's official a second Apple product release event in
0:06
Autumn takes place the evening before Halloween if you just read the show notes air fun Monday, October 30 at 5 p.m
0:13
Pacific Time that's It's it's a really weird time for an Apple that they've never done an event that late
0:20
It's so bizarre because it's it's 5 p.m. California time 8 p.m. Eastern Time, which is the correct time zone
0:27
where I'm not used to like I'm gonna have to work late that day, you know an 8 p.m. Start time for us. That's so bizarre and
0:37
All of like I've seen so many people like who live in Europe complaining about this because it's it's basically taking your pick of like
0:43
Midnight or like 2 a.m. That the event is starting. It's this is weird. I don't really know
0:50
It's unprecedented. Why they've done that. It's they know they've never done that before
0:54
Well now I've heard a theory on why they're doing it this way. Mm-hmm I hope it has something to do with costumes, which we're gonna dive into
1:01
Expectations or predictions so we're gonna be talking about hardware and stuff all throughout the show
1:05
But at the very end we're gonna be doing this segment that we as is fast becoming tradition where we talk about our predictions
1:10
And we'll actually vote on what we think is gonna happen Then next show will revisit to see what what who got what right and I think one of them might have to do with costumes
1:19
And if not, and none of them are gonna be wearing costumes on this historic Halloween's Eve event
1:25
Terribly disappointed if none of them are that'll just be a waste of an opportunity
1:30
Yes, yeah, one of them has I have a sneaking suspicion I don't know why I think this is gonna happen, but I think it makes way too much sense visually to not work
1:40
I think Craig Federighi is gonna be dressed up as Dracula. Does he not just look like Dracula
1:46
Like all they see do is put a cape on that guy The only problem is that he's the software guy and I don't know if I have much software to talk about although he would make
1:54
For a good Dracula. I think I think Johnny Sruji is another good candidate
1:59
Yeah, as a Dracula, you know, he's in the chip lab. All the lights are off No, you see them like come on and he like
2:06
Emerges from a rack of Mac Pros or something. I like it. I love it. Sorry. I'm throwing us off already. Please continue
2:14
It's fine Apple has also dropped a big hint that this event will be Mac focused
2:21
It's not just you know outside the rumors like if the invitation is this glowing
2:26
Animated Apple logo and if you stay on the page long enough it morphs into the the happy finder face that is
2:35
There's no mystery here I feel like there's Doing that to set expectations that there will not be any iPads at this event. This is a Mac event
2:44
they do that occasionally like I Want to say it was the I mean, yeah, it was the iPhone 5 event
2:51
With that had like literally a giant number five on it. Yeah
2:57
Huh, I wonder what this is going to be about. Yeah well, let's take a moment to appreciate this because you know, usually they are trying to be quirky and
3:07
make some kind of like You know artistic example that you could imply to mean many different things
3:13
But I mean this is I mean if they got any closer It would just be a video of Tim Cook saying the Macs are coming y'all and that would be it, you know
3:20
but if you didn't see the invitation, we're showing it right now so you can see the animation, but
3:26
I'm happy to see them giving some love to the Mac I think that would also be a good time to mention that this is strictly an online event
3:34
From the the people who are typically invited to these things. All of them are saying yeah, I didn't get an invite. Nobody is
3:41
Being invited to Apple Park in person to like watch it at the Steve Jobs theater or have a
3:46
Hands-on event or anything like that. There might be like private press briefings like for a select few
3:52
People but like nothing that we've heard about so this is going to be a much smaller
3:57
