Everything is you can do the same thing now that but instead of a screen it’s floating!

I think the “One More Thing” introduction should have been done live in front of an audience.

Why is the M1 Air staying in the lineup? What is the difference between the M1 and M2 Air? Production? Why not drop the M2 Air down to $999 and drop the M1 Air?
