[00:00:00] S0: You're you're watching TBPN. [00:00:02] S1: Today is Wednesday, 10/28/2026. We are live from the TBPN UltraDome, the temple of technology, the fortress of finance. [00:00:10] S0: The capital of capital. [00:00:12] S1: Let me tell you about ramp.com. Time is money. Save both. Easy use corporate cards, bill pay, accounting, and a whole lot more all in one place. How was your morning, Jordi? [00:00:23] S0: It was great, but this morning is all about you. [00:00:26] S1: Mine was even better because [00:00:27] S2: I got [00:00:28] S0: Well, I was getting a fantastic workout. Oh, yeah? You were at some computer event. [00:00:33] S1: I was. I I went to the Apple event this morning. Pro and tell, very exciting. Speculation was all over the place. John Ternus shared a video of a an... A cutout, a spotlight of the Apple logo shining on a wall brightly. You can see this video teaser. What do you think he's teasing? Christian Weber times in. Apple Car. Obviously, they're just gonna drop [00:00:58] S0: the Apple Car on you Not a nowhere.

[00:00:58] S0: the Apple Car on you Not a nowhere. [00:01:01] S1: On a Wednesday in a ten minute keynote. No. It was a touchscreen, touchscreen MacBook Pro, and, it was cool. It was... This was my first Apple event in person. Obviously, I've been watching keynotes since I was a young child. I remember watching, like, the Steve Jobs keynotes in college. It was amazing. And seeing, like, those clips, we've watched a bunch of these on the show. And we've seen the evolution, the COVID era, the highly produced big keynotes. This is a smaller event. You know, they're they're they're doing a number of launches. They launched the iPad. But, man, John Ternus, the star power is incredible. I'm not joking. Like, he is so good on stage. He's incredible. What [00:01:45] S0: what are you trying to try to hit the glass? No. I was hitting the the the chat button. [00:01:49] S1: Okay. I was like, why can't you hear it? No. He's really, really good. So, I mean, the whole script was very tight. Very quick recap on what they've launched so far. Like, fifteen seconds iPad mini, fifteen seconds on the MacBook Pro with the m six, and then straight into the touch screen, they play a little, example video, which had a hilarious theme to it, which was if you give a mouse a cookie. They took the story of if you give a mouse a cookie and apply it. We we we should actually play the the full ad because Tim Cook shared it on X. He said we brought touch to the Mac. We brought touch to Mac from the new iPad... From the all new iPad mini Kind of. To the MacBook Pro. Let's play this.

We brought touch to Mac from the new iPad... From the all new iPad mini Kind of. To the MacBook Pro. Let's play this. [00:02:33] S3: Like a pro OLED. Yeah. A ProLED XDR. So it'll have more vivid colors. Brighter brightness, blacker blacks, razor sharp contrast. Then you've got a totally portable reference monitor. So you'll need anti glare and reflection, burn in protection, and real time pixel correction. It'll look so real, you'll wanna reach out and touch it. [00:03:09] S1: Boom. Mic drop. Touch [00:03:12] S3: it. You can [00:03:13] S1: swipe and drag and pinch. No. They clearly listen to you. You were making fun. It's always just thinner, lighter, faster. Boom. You can't say that Apple is touchable. Touchscreen. That's not thinner. That's not lighter. That's not faster. That's a different vector of new features. You're not Okay. [00:03:30] S0: MacBook Pro yet.
00:03:30 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:03:30] S0: MacBook Pro yet. [00:03:31] S1: It is. No. I have no idea if this will be useful or I will want the touch screen version. I can't imagine a situation where I want that, and I would be very worried about fingerprints. I'm already, like, constantly battling smudges on my screen. And I don't really like using window... With Windex cleaner. I guess I should get the official Apple polishing cloth, which is like... [00:03:54] S0: Full employment for computer detailers, which we've pitched [00:03:57] S1: Yes. [00:03:58] S0: A bunch of [00:03:58] S1: time No. No. I agree. [00:04:00] S0: As a great business. Yeah. At least in San Francisco, you know, schedule different companies, go by the office, take the computer for ten minutes. [00:04:08] S1: Actually haven't solved that properly here. No. We should we should figure [00:04:12] S0: out You tried to clean your computer and your hands were burned by, like, it's very toxic. We got the Something off of Amazon. [00:04:18] S1: Really skimping on the on the cleaning supplies, and I got chemical burns all over my hands. No. We should we should [00:04:24] S0: figure So how so, yeah. My reaction to the launch is, why the heck not? You You should be able to touch the screen of your computer. [00:04:32] S1: Yeah. [00:04:32] S0: Why the heck not? Seems, you know, seems pretty cool. I don't I don't think I'll care one way or another when I when I upgrade my Mac next if it has a if it has a touchscreen or not.

[00:04:32] S0: Why the heck not? Seems, you know, seems pretty cool. I don't I don't think I'll care one way or another when I when I upgrade my Mac next if it has a if it has a touchscreen or not. [00:04:46] S1: Yeah. I don't even know if it's an option that you pick. The the actually bigger thing that's an update is the is the OLED display, which if you've if you've watched an OLED TV, like, is brighter. The blacks are darker. It's actually a nicer contrast ratio. And a lot of people have been upgrading to OLED TVs, and they're like, yeah. This is better. And so bringing that to, to the MacBook Pro makes a lot of sense. It's [00:05:11] S0: been... Yeah. It's interesting because it... You know, the Mac... The the Pro line [00:05:15] S1: Yeah. [00:05:16] S0: You know, historically was for professionals. [00:05:20] S1: Mhmm. [00:05:21] S0: Still is. But I don't think any of the, like, the most hardcore power users are like, yes. Like [00:05:26] S1: Touch screen. [00:05:27] S0: Thank you for delivering the thing that I cared about.
00:05:27 · Jordi Hays, John Coogan
[00:05:27] S0: Thank you for delivering the thing that I cared about. [00:05:29] S1: On the touch screen or on the OLED? I I I I do think video editors, anyone doing, important graphics or color correction, especially if they're delivering to an OLED TV. Like, if you're if you're editing Netflix, like, you know that a lot of people... So the idea of a portable reference monitor, most people that are doing professional work would normally have a separate monitor to see how it looks on an OLED, and now it's just on the main screen, which is great. And, like, you will be able to feel the difference in the screen quality. The touching thing, again, like, that's a very specific use case to be playing piano on your on your MacBook Pro. But, yeah, why not? Fun fun feature. They already have the technology super mature in the iPad, in the iPhone. Why not put it in the MacBook Pro? Yep. Yes. But I would be I would be surprised if apps are, like, scrambling to take the most advantage of the touchableness because who who who... Who's really going for it. [00:06:26] S0: What did you learn about the hinge? Are we gonna be experiencing this? [00:06:29] S1: Yeah. Yeah. No. No. I I think it is better. Is that an Air or a Pro? [00:06:33] S0: Pro. [00:06:34] S1: Okay. Because mine's kinda similar. When I moved it around, it it it seemed not to do the springiness thing. You see how, like, when I do this, it, like, springs back and forth? It seemed not to do that. So it seems like [00:06:45] S0: they improved [00:06:45] S1: the it seemed like they improved it.
