00:00:16 ◼ ► Join us once again as we push the boundaries of how long a bit can go on for and still be considered funny.
00:00:26 ◼ ► I am but your humble Apple Park Prince James Thompson, and it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the Connected Quiz champion
00:00:38 ◼ ► Thank you for having me. I mean, you know, here we are again and I'm, you know, I've had a great year.
00:00:45 ◼ ► How could I not have had a great year being the Grand Admiral? But yeah, I'm the Pickerton.
00:00:51 ◼ ► And I'm also joined today by another wonderful co-host, Mr. Jason Snell, who is in fact the winner of the Vohieses and the Connected monthly contest winner.
00:01:18 ◼ ► It's very amazing. And really, I think my favorite thing that I won this year is the Vohieses of all of the many games we play,
00:01:24 ◼ ► because I correctly predicted everything you do this year, which is hard to do because you are a man of mystery.
00:01:33 ◼ ► Maybe you've been stalking me all year. I mean, have you been just like right around the corner?
00:01:43 ◼ ► But I, you know, I did it successfully and I just asked the two of you, don't do this to me next year, OK?
00:02:11 ◼ ► it also means we're going to do our triple J gift exchange that we'd like to do every year where we give each other presents
00:02:18 ◼ ► and have definitely not kept the receipts. And I believe this year the wheel of fun begins with James Thompson.
00:02:31 ◼ ► my present to you is a brand new Dungeon Master for running episodes of TPK over the incomparable.
00:02:43 ◼ ► Who is it? Who's it going to be? OK, so technically I got bought a copy of the 2024 Dungeon Masters guide for my Christmas,
00:02:52 ◼ ► but I will say on the record that one of my goals for the year is to start running at least a small game.
00:03:02 ◼ ► I think maybe somebody has somebody broken this to you that not all D&D games have to be podcasts that you could just do.
00:03:16 ◼ ► John, I know what you want and I got it for you. It's technically it's a Maker World gift certificate,
00:03:22 ◼ ► but basically I was thinking this 3D printed Mac Mini case that turns it into a Mac Pro optionally with wheels.
00:03:38 ◼ ► everything in your life basically needs a case that's shaped like a Mac Pro to put it in.
00:03:44 ◼ ► They also make a Mac Studio version, which is laughably large, but again, not as large as the Mac Pro.
00:04:16 ◼ ► I'm going to disassemble my my skateboard now and turn it into my put it on the wheels on the case.
00:04:22 ◼ ► You know, who doesn't want a case that makes something that's conveniently small into something that's bigger and less convenient.
00:04:39 ◼ ► because you're going to have to take care of these this gift and feed it and and, you know, give it a good home.
00:04:49 ◼ ► These are a little bit like monkey butlers that you can use to eat all those bananas that your app has is always dropping all over the place.
00:05:17 ◼ ► But the thing is with friendly monkeys, you don't have to worry about them destroying your home as much.
00:05:46 ◼ ► which unfortunately has to be kept bolted down to a desk at all time for security reasons.
00:05:59 ◼ ► No, it sounds like maybe Nintendo has learned a thing or two from Apple with developer kits.
00:06:29 ◼ ► It's a wonderful little retro handheld, but I want you to experience the other end of the spectrum.
00:06:53 ◼ ► It's described as a gaming handheld, which again, I would say, quote handheld handheld on the market that I've seen.
00:07:01 ◼ ► Your hands go on the controllers that are attached to the giant tablet that's in the middle.
00:07:09 ◼ ► I'm glad you just didn't get me like a PC with a CRT or something and said just, you know,
00:07:30 ◼ ► Actually, I used to buy Windows games on Steam and use Bootcamp, but I haven't done that for a long time.
00:08:20 ◼ ► The secret is I also got them for John because we, as Vision Pro experts, need these things.
00:08:32 ◼ ► And then very gradually over the course of the year, Apple via third parties and also third parties
00:08:41 ◼ ► because it was designed in a fantastical white room by people who didn't have any connection to reality.
00:08:50 ◼ ► And so we got that like the different head straps we've been experimenting with all year
00:09:04 ◼ ► and then it attaches to your face and then you can lay face down and do the Vision Pro like you're swimming.
00:09:15 ◼ ► And this will work with the current Vision Pro, but I think this is also a good direction for Apple
00:09:27 ◼ ► because those are always the best, is giant googly eyes, self-adhesive, big wiggle eyes,
00:09:31 ◼ ► large sticky eyes for party decorations, refrigerator door, lawns, car, DIY craft projects, 50 millimeters.
00:09:43 ◼ ► I think these are good because A, on the existing unit, they just cover up the weird creepy CG.
00:09:59 ◼ ► I mean, you could ship them optionally in the box like they used to have the Apple stickers.
00:10:24 ◼ ► But I would say that the idea of replacing the Apple stickers in the box, which they got rid of, right?
00:10:46 ◼ ► If Apple is busy decontenting the Vision Pro in order to get it down in price, googly eyes on the front.
00:11:01 ◼ ► But I've been told legally that I must throw it to one of the suits at Relay now to tell you about our first sponsor.
00:11:19 ◼ ► That's why I'm pleased to let you know that Fitbod is an easy and affordable way to build a fitness plan that's just for you.
00:11:26 ◼ ► Everyone's fitness path is different, which is why Fitbod uses data to make sure they customize things exactly to suit you.

00:13:34 ◼ ► And you'll get 25% off your membership. Our thanks to Fitbod for their support of the show.
00:13:40 ◼ ► Okay, picky's time. This is our annual contest, where we do our picks for what will happen next year.
00:13:48 ◼ ► And get ready, here it comes. Please stand on one leg for the reading of the classic picky's charter, used when we made the picks for 2024.
00:14:15 ◼ ► There are two types of pickies, annual pickies and WWDC pickies. No other picky shall ever be introduced.
00:14:22 ◼ ► The winner of the annual pickies is named Grand Admiral Pickerton, and retains the title for a full year.
00:14:30 ◼ ► The WWDC pickies winner is named the Apple Park Prince, that's me, and retains the title until the next WWDC is held.
00:14:39 ◼ ► Order for the annual pickies and WWDC pickies is based on the winner of the previous year.
00:14:45 ◼ ► The winner goes second, the losers flip a coin to determine who goes first and who goes third.
00:14:57 ◼ ► James is the only person who is allowed to roll dice. I may use any other method of generating random numbers I want.
00:15:06 ◼ ► For a pick to earn any points, everything written down in the prediction document for that specific pick must come true.
00:15:13 ◼ ► Because James tried to introduce irrational numbers and crash the entire pickies, there are now no half points or fractional points awarded in any round except when grading in the event of a tie.
00:15:39 ◼ ► Your total percentage expressed as a fraction of wrong answers will be multiplied by five and deducted from your final score.
00:15:47 ◼ ► All calculations are performed using IEEE 754 floating point numbers, not integers. Nan is not considered the number.
00:15:54 ◼ ► The two... that's math stuff, I don't understand it. The two other hosts must agree that at least one of your picks is not obvious, one is pretty cool, and one is quite sneaky.
00:16:07 ◼ ► No picking things that the picker of the pick could make come true by themselves or by inducing others, including taking a job at Apple or learning how to hypnotize people by becoming a magician.
00:16:20 ◼ ► The chat room is saying the right leg is getting tired. Switch legs, switch legs, everybody can switch legs right now.
00:16:28 ◼ ► No picking things that are not provably true or false. Whether or not you can prove a negative is best left for the AIs, and maybe not even them.
00:16:35 ◼ ► No altering the prediction document after the show is over. We all remember what happened in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and even last week.
00:16:51 ◼ ► Each lightning round pick deemed incorrect will receive a coin flip. If the coin is tails, the incorrect pick will be regraded by the host who is not in a tie.
00:17:03 ◼ ► One, passion up to half a point. Two, precision up to a third of a point. Three, wild card up to a quarter of a point.
00:17:09 ◼ ► After all regrading of wrong answers is completed, the scores will be recalculated and the winner will be proclaimed.
00:17:23 ◼ ► The winner of a coin flip between the two current non-winners of the pickies will choose the numbers for all hosts,
00:17:29 ◼ ► and the host whose number is rolled on the three-sided die will be eliminated. The tiebreaker will then proceed.
00:17:35 ◼ ► After scoring is complete, each host must place the official pickies' refrigerator magnets in the proper configuration on their refrigerator for the next year.
00:17:41 ◼ ► Winner at the center of the door, second place in the lower left corner, third place in the lower right corner,
00:17:46 ◼ ► fail to provide evidence of a properly secured magnet will result in immediate disqualification.
00:17:55 ◼ ► The winner of each competition will be given access to the Relay.fm CMS and will have to post the show until the winner is revealed.
00:18:29 ◼ ► Mine was that Apple allows a third-party app store on the iPhone somewhere in the world.
00:18:43 ◼ ► Yep, yep. And I said the Vision Pro will be released in the first calendar quarter of 2024, which was also correct.
00:18:54 ◼ ► And I said Apple Watch Ultra 2 will be on sale in the US on March 1st, 2024, which is a really weird pick,
00:19:14 ◼ ► We made picks that were built into the first half of the year, so we weren't really shooting for those six points.
00:19:34 ◼ ► And I was correct. I got two points and I missed getting four points by, I think, 10 days as it came out on the 12th of July in the UK.
00:19:42 ◼ ► Oh, wow. So I predicted that 2024 will see the return of a March Apple event, which it did not.
00:19:52 ◼ ► Unfortunately, I think the March event may be a thing of the past thanks to doing stuff online.
00:20:06 ◼ ► Now, when I originally scored this, I thought I forgot that that actually is what the name is called.
00:20:11 ◼ ► I couldn't believe that I correctly predicted that it would be Apple Pencil Pro because I thought, I don't know, I thought that was a dumb name, but it was correct.
00:20:19 ◼ ► But Jason, is a new Apple Pencil Pro, is that really a revision of the Apple Pencil Pro?
00:20:26 ◼ ► You didn't, you in fact predicted that there would be an Apple Pencil Pro and then another new one. Isn't that what you're…?
00:20:37 ◼ ► After round two, I have 10, James has eight, John has six, but it's all to play for because we're now in the lightning round.
00:20:46 ◼ ► Yeah, so round one, I said a Mac would be introduced with a brand new form factor and thankfully the Mac Mini was indeed a brand new form factor. One point for me.
00:20:57 ◼ ► I predicted that personal automations would come to the Mac on Mac OS and I was incorrect.
00:21:04 ◼ ► Not, you know, it's not like they need those things for Apple intelligence or anything. They'll, you know, they'll get around to it eventually.
00:21:11 ◼ ► I predicted that the M3 MacBook Air would be introduced, the M2 MacBook Air would be discontinued and the M1 MacBook Air would remain.
00:21:21 ◼ ► Well, almost got it, but the M2 MacBook Air is also around. They are selling and the M1 Air is at Walmart.
00:21:30 ◼ ► We could have argued about whether that counts, but it doesn't matter because they kept the M2 Air around. So I am also wrong.
00:21:37 ◼ ► For round two, I said an original Apple TV+ show or movie is released in 3D. And I could argue this one, you know, since we had that little submarine movie in 3D and things, but you know, that's not the spirit of my pick.
00:21:51 ◼ ► And it was on the Apple TV app, but was not really Apple TV+, so I'm going to say incorrect.
00:21:56 ◼ ► Yeah, and you were, I think we were thinking it would be just a 3D like show, not an immersive necessarily, but just like a 3D version of Shrinking or something because you want to see.
00:22:14 ◼ ► Oh, well. I also had a TV pick, which was that tvOS's Quadbox would expand to work with more kinds of content. And it did not.
00:22:29 ◼ ► It is, I was just the other day, I was watching, there was a, there was a, a game on a streaming service. I don't think it was the Netflix Christmas. I think it was like something that was on Paramount+ or something.
00:22:40 ◼ ► And I had that moment, and I do this with soccer too, where they've got games on Peacock and then they've got some game that's on like USA Network.
00:22:48 ◼ ► And I had that same thought, which is like, all these things are happening at once. I want to put them in a multi-view, but they're in different apps and tvOS just won't do it. It's very frustrating.
00:22:59 ◼ ► Ah, well, you know what they say, it's like age old wisdom, never bank on a tvOS update adding anything.
00:23:06 ◼ ► I, speaking of disappointment, I predicted a live sporting event would be transmitted immersively to Vision Pro users and it didn't happen. I don't know why it didn't happen.
00:23:16 ◼ ► I wish they would experiment with that, but it didn't happen. So no points in that round.
00:23:20 ◼ ► Yeah, we picked these things that seem so obvious, you know, these must happen. But no.
00:23:25 ◼ ► Round three. So I said that an iPad would be introduced with a bigger screen than we've seen before. And I was entirely incorrect.
00:23:36 ◼ ► Yeah, for sure. I predicted that the Vision Pro is reintroduced with an event that includes an appearance with EdiQ who will not dance.
00:23:47 ◼ ► I was thinking that there would be some sort of event in January where they would kind of recap everything that was coming with the Vision Pro, but that did not happen. We got some press releases and that was about it.
00:23:57 ◼ ► Yeah, yeah. Who knows what they're doing over there. I don't know. I think, although I would prefer an event where EdiQ does dance.
00:24:06 ◼ ► Hi. You know, I hold out hope. I just go back to that GIF all the time, you know. I mean, it's my favorite.
00:24:12 ◼ ► You know, I got to, I actually had my first meeting with EdiQ this year in February for the Apple Sports app of all things.
00:24:23 ◼ ► Yeah, yeah. And he just flew in from the Super Bowl and boy were his arms tired. I predicted new Magic Keyboard for iPad with Function Key Row and it happened. Guys, it happened.
00:24:41 ◼ ► In the first half of the year, so plus two for me, they did it. They did it. Just again, they did it. Dreams rarely come true, but the dreams came true right there.
00:24:51 ◼ ► For Ranfur, I predicted that Apple would ship some form of generative AI, e.g. text or image generation, and they did ship some form of generative AI. That is true. One point.
00:25:03 ◼ ► I continued my trend of incorrect predictions with the prediction that the iPad Pro would get a second USB-C compatible port and it did not.
00:25:14 ◼ ► And I predicted that a new Apple AI assistant was unveiled, but it would just still be called Siri, which we debated this before the show. It's kind of right.
00:25:26 ◼ ► Like, right, they unveiled this whole promise of doing new things with an AI enhanced version of Siri. They haven't shipped it. I think we decided that "unveiled" was the key word here because they unveiled it, all right? They sure did that.
00:25:41 ◼ ► They promised it much in the same way that many things have been promised, but yeah, we have yet to actually experience it. For round five, I said that Apple would-- I always go like on the round five, I pick something completely wild.
00:25:57 ◼ ► Apple introduces some form of new display technology, folding mini-LED holographic beaming directly into your brain. No, they did not.
00:26:07 ◼ ► A little early on that one, James. A little bit early. So my prediction revolves around the fact that Apple likes to pick a new best friend in the gaming world every couple of years.
00:26:22 ◼ ► And I predicted that in 2024, that would be Death Stranding and that Death Stranding or Hideo Kojima would appear in more than one Apple event in 2024, which did not happen.
00:26:36 ◼ ► In fact, the game came out at the end of January and was never mentioned again in another event, I don't think.
00:26:44 ◼ ► It was a bold pick, John. It was a bold pick. I picked Apple would make another sports rights related deal. Also did not happen. Apple not going beyond their MLS deal.
00:26:55 ◼ ► Now, our friend of the show, ZM Nox, says, "Does tandem OLED count as a new display technology?" What do you think?
00:27:03 ◼ ► I mean, we've never seen the likes of it before. Two sandwiched OLED screens. I mean, I don't know that it's actually going to make any difference in the score.
00:27:22 ◼ ► Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, you should take it. Take it and take your two points or one point, right?
00:27:30 ◼ ► Second half of the year. All right, good for you. Good for you. I'm so benevolent, because I'm going to win, in giving you extra points.
00:27:38 ◼ ► All right, so after the lightning round, the scores are 14 for me, 11 for James, six for John. John, rough year for you.
00:27:48 ◼ ► Picking from the middle position is rough. Well, as people know, though, this is not how the pickies are scored.
00:27:53 ◼ ► The pickies are scored by deducting your total percentage expressed as a fraction of wrong answers, multiplied by five and deducted from your final score.
00:28:19 ◼ ► I have three out of seven wrong, which is a deduction of 0.428571429 times five, so I deduct 2.142857145 for a total of 11.85714285 points.
00:28:38 ◼ ► So that's 0.857142857 times five, so we'll deduct 4.285714285 for a total of 1.71428715.
00:29:17 ◼ ► It is. Dice by Pcalc is not doing the math because it's a dice app. You've ruined your branding.
00:29:23 ◼ ► So we're going to deduct that. So you get 12 minus 1.42857143, which gives you a total of 10.57142857, which means that I win by the skin of my teeth,
00:29:39 ◼ ► because I have 11.85714285, and you have 10.57142857, which means I win by a total of...
00:29:59 ◼ ► You also got an additional reduction in your deduction, which is why we do the deductions. That's why right there.
00:30:30 ◼ ► Second place is James. He goes in the lower left corner. And for me, you could probably put me on the floor or underneath the fridge.
00:30:41 ◼ ► But technically, I'd appreciate it if you would place him in the lower right hand corner.
00:30:47 ◼ ► Just slightly lower than James in the lower left corner because it's the bronze medal spot.
00:30:51 ◼ ► If you're using the official Picky's app or the Clockwork Picky's trophy, you will see the magnets moving automatically in just a moment.
00:31:04 ◼ ► Yeah. Well, congratulations to Jason for his big comeback and congratulations to me for not being in last place again,

00:33:42 ◼ ► Please remain in the position of your choosing for the reading of the all-new revised Picky Charter Ultra,
00:33:59 ◼ ► Now, we've had some feedback over the many years that we've been doing this about the convoluted nature of our rules.
00:34:13 ◼ ► Instead of heaping even more complexity on top of a clearly failing system, we are actually going to take things away.
00:34:29 ◼ ► Every year we play two games and predict what will happen at WWDC and throughout the year.
00:34:52 ◼ ► In the case of a tie, there are multiple winners. We, here, do not let mere chance determine success.
00:35:01 ◼ ► And there shall be no disputes over scoring because we are all just inherently honorable people.
00:35:08 ◼ ► And that's it. Just the art of prediction in its purest form, no silly titles to award, no trophies needed.
00:35:14 ◼ ► And certainly no ridiculous sports paraphernalia to inflate our egos. What sort of people need that?
00:35:22 ◼ ► So, okay, please pause to remove your magnets from the refrigerator. Put them in the bin.
00:35:38 ◼ ► I'm going to predict for my first pick that a revision or new model of the Apple Watch will be introduced that supports a new sensor.
00:36:02 ◼ ► Your pick is actually kind of like, I mean, is Apple ever going to release anything that doesn't support Apple intelligence at this point?
00:36:09 ◼ ► All right. I predict Apple will introduce, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it, it's going to punch me in the face next year, a new home appliance with a screen.
00:36:21 ◼ ► I'm not saying what the appliance is. If Apple ships a refrigerator with a screen, I get the pick. Okay?
00:36:31 ◼ ► Did you see that LG just did a microwave oven with a 27-inch screen? It was just announced two days ago.
00:36:37 ◼ ► I love it. I love it. You know what? Somebody should make a microwave oven or a regular oven.
00:36:41 ◼ ► What they should do is they should put a screen on the door and a camera on the inside so that the door shows you what's going on inside. It would be great.
00:36:55 ◼ ► And I'm going to kind of play off of James a little bit here with my own iPhone SE prediction, which is that it will have a 48-megapixel camera sensor.
00:37:04 ◼ ► Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Mine is, and I would like to say that I wrote this in the document a few days ago, there will be a brand new redesigned mouse.
00:37:21 ◼ ► But, you know, I think we are finally going to get away from the, shall we say, very meme-able mouse.
00:37:38 ◼ ► I just feel like you always have to be prepared for disappointment when you're trying to predict new Apple input devices.
00:37:43 ◼ ► But I would say if they do completely redesign the mouse and it still has a port on the bottom, I still get the point.
00:37:51 ◼ ► I am going to go out on a limb and say that Apple will finally announce a third-party LLM partner for Apple Intelligence that is not OpenAI.
00:38:10 ◼ ► So basically, get excited when they announce it probably at WWDC, and then you'll finally get your Google or Anthropic or whatever.
00:38:43 ◼ ► But because I don't think they're going to do meta, and do they really want to do X? I don't know.
00:38:55 ◼ ► I mean, Google is the obvious one, but then again, they also keep talking about Google.
00:39:07 ◼ ► Well, round three time, and I'm doing a negative pick, which is that Apple will not announce
00:39:51 ◼ ► I'm not saying that we're going to get airport expresses again, but I think we might get
00:40:24 ◼ ► And for this, I am predicting that a new Apple TV will be introduced, so new hardware that
00:40:43 ◼ ► You know, I mean, my thought is it'll be something where you can maybe use the Siri commands
00:41:10 ◼ ► Mine, there's a possibility here that Apple introduces an M-series chip in a configuration
00:41:44 ◼ ► I'm going to be very small and say the only new feature on the MacBook Air beyond an M4
00:42:10 ◼ ► Well, they built that new webcam that's in the MacBook Pro that is better, that is improved
00:42:28 ◼ ► One clarification though, would you consider it a feature if Apple bumps the base amount
00:42:38 ◼ ► I think they would have to move a port or change a port or add a port or something else
00:42:44 ◼ ► When we're writing our reviews of the MacBook Air that we would actually call out as a change
00:42:53 ◼ ► I wrote my Macworld predictions piece yesterday, so I was able to sync that up with this a
00:42:59 ◼ ► And one of the things that just struck me is I think it's actually going to be a really
00:43:01 ◼ ► boring year for Apple hardware because they've recently reset a whole bunch of stuff and
00:43:20 ◼ ► Well, it is time for our fifth and final round, and I am going to predict that the M5 will
00:43:27 ◼ ► separate the CPU and GPU from the GPU memory architecture, which will be explained in the
00:43:40 ◼ ► This has been, I guess, rumored, and apparently the current architecture does have some limitations
00:43:49 ◼ ► because of the way it's designed to share that memory that is not ideal for Apple intelligence.
00:43:56 ◼ ► So I'm going with they're separating the two and they're going to use it as an opportunity
00:44:16 ◼ ► will announce a partnership with a third party publisher, e.g. Sony, Steam, to help bring
00:44:39 ◼ ► I have been wondering with all the stories about the Sony controllers potentially being
00:44:52 ◼ ► Sony, either, because as we all know, because the good people at Mac stories who push everything
00:45:09 ◼ ► And I thought, so one thing could be, would Sony and Apple do something where they made
00:45:30 ◼ ► like it isn't because they're going to unbundle these controllers, I wonder, is there something
00:45:45 ◼ ► And I think that having some sort of, using basically the technology that allows you to
00:45:51 ◼ ► stream your screen from the Mac to the Vision Pro makes a lot of sense because that's already
00:46:02 ◼ ► not a good solution because the Vision Pro only has Wi-Fi 5 and that's not a good gaming
00:46:20 ◼ ► I think this is reading the tea leaves perfectly well, where it's, we have this report, but
00:46:38 ◼ ► So I'm doubling down on that and I've decided I've, I'm a wrecking my brains to think, what
00:46:45 ◼ ► And I've got a thing I think it will be called, but I'm going to make my pick a little bit
00:47:08 ◼ ► So it could take the place of the bigger HomePod that the bigger HomePod will either be renamed
00:47:17 ◼ ► It's possible that it will be called HomePod something, but I think HomePod is actually
00:47:23 ◼ ► So I'm just going to go in all in on that, whatever that home appliance with the screen
00:47:54 ◼ ► Not a prediction because they're not going to do it because they're too slow and they're
00:47:57 ◼ ► not going to do that product for like two years and it's too late and it's so frustrating.
00:48:15 ◼ ► This time we're going to be rating every single year of Apple's existence based on the famous
00:48:31 ◼ ► At the bottom you have worst I hate you, then awful, then awful plus, then just below average,
00:48:52 ◼ ► And yes, the triple threat of the triple J will return in 2025 when you most expect it.
