I have not been more excited for an Apple event in recent memory than next weeks.

0:07.0

I don't know about you, but I am excited because I feel like there's a lot we don't know.

0:14.0

Yeah, I think so. And it's kind of funny because I think part of the excitement comes from where it's going to be.

0:23.0

Part of the excitement comes from what's going to be announced and what we don't know about what's going to be announced.

0:31.0

I mean, we have a lot of details. We have a lot of speculation and rumor on the new iPhone.

0:40.0

Right. But there's a lot of questions to be answered.

0:44.0

It is not a complete black box. But I would say it is as close to as little as we could know as possible.

0:54.0

Like just given the nature of what leaks out of the Asian supply chain and is outside Apple's control, it would be very...

1:03.0

I mean, the only thing I can think of is there's a few things we gleaned from that botched release of the HomePod OS.

1:11.0

Right. And when they, you know, month or so ago, when they publicly released that version of iOS and then, you know, the Stephen Troutensmith and his cohorts, you know, went through and found a bunch of resources.

1:25.0

So there's a few things that were gleaned from that that were within Apple's control. But otherwise, we don't know much.

1:32.0

I really don't. And like you said, even the venue is sort of a mystery. I mean, what's it like? I mean, there's Blueprints...

1:38.0

There were Blueprints published of what the theater looked like. But I mean, that doesn't really...

1:42.0

And some leaked photos during construction. But... Right. I don't know. The first event ever held there. It's kind of cool.

1:50.0

I'm looking forward to it. You know, even that part of it to get to... I mean, I assume we'll be walking past the ring to get to...

2:03.0

That's the funny part. Is that it's... I don't even know where we're going to park. Right? I know. I know. I have no idea.

2:10.0

I don't know about you, but I didn't even... I mean, I got email with the invitation and I've gotten a few emails setting up times for post-event briefings.

2:20.0

But even there, it was like, you know, we'll give you more information on the details of how to get there later.

2:29.0

Yeah, and it's Friday. Yeah. Very... I know. I know. I know. And I really am... I'm looking forward to that whole aspect of it.

2:40.0

Yeah. I'm going to be great. Among the things that leaked... There was a... Who was it? The Wall Street Journal's had a bunch of things recently.

2:48.0

But I think it was the Wall Street Journal, who like two weeks ago, is before I did the last episode with Jason Stell,
