Summary

Our most speculative draft yet! Jason and Myke refuse to wait for Apple. Instead, they predict what will happen at Apple's next product launch--whenever it might happen. Will the M2 make its debut? Will there be an iPhone SE, and will it look any different? Are there other Mac and iPad offerings in the works? And most importantly, what fresh colors will be on offer for spring? We do our job--and now it's time for Apple to do its.

0:00.0	From Relay FM, this is Upgrade Episode 396 today's show is brought to you by
0:28.3	Text Expander, Oony Pizza Ovens, Zock-Dock, and Memberful. My name is Mike Hurley and I am joined by the one and only Jason Snow. Hi, Jason Snow.
0:36.3	Hi, Mike Hurley. Was that draft music I heard? That was indeed.
0:40.3	That was indeed.
0:42.3	That was indeed.
0:44.3	Jason, it can be. Here's the deal. All right. We're going rogue today. We are assuming there will be an Apple event next week.
0:55.3	So the assumption has been for a while, there will be one in March. The sheriff of room it down.
1:02.3	Mark Roman has been suggesting for multiple weeks that it is going to be March 8th. Here's the thing.
1:09.3	I am traveling late of this week, going to Memphis.
1:15.3	The concern we have right now, well, the concern I had, that if there is a event announced sometime in the next 24 hours,
1:23.3	which is what we would expect if it's going to be on March 8th, we would struggle to find a time to record a draft episode.
1:32.3	So we're going to draft today.
1:35.3	I've been pushing this for a little while with these weak warning events and us doing the double episodes with the draft as an emergency episode
1:44.3	to say if we feel pretty good that an event is going to happen, even if it's not exactly when we think.
1:53.3	I'm not sure I see the harm in doing the draft and if the draft has to remain in kind of hovering above us for an extra week or two,
2:03.3	that's okay. In fact, it might be good because it might mean that more stuff will leak out and it will be too bad for us because we will have already picked.
2:13.3	And I think the draft is better when there's more uncertainty. If we draft when we know everything, then it's what is it that we're even doing here.
2:23.3	So I've been thinking maybe we should try this and then events have led us to this point now.
2:31.3	So kind of here's where we are. We're going to make our draft today. And if there's an event next week, great.
2:37.3	If there isn't an event, as Jason said, if there's an event in two weeks, also fine.
2:42.3	If the event ends up being in April, we're going to kind of play it as it goes.
2:48.3	Like one thing that I had potentially thought that we could do is maybe like the week before we get to change one pick.
