We’re talking about the upcoming event and new developments in Apple AI hardware on this episode of the Macworld Podcast.\n\nThis is episode 971 with Michael Simon, Jason Cross, and Roman Loyola.\n\n## Watch episode 971 on YouTube\n\n## Listen to episode 971 on Apple Podcasts\n\n## Listen to episode 971 on Spotify\n\n## Get info\n\nClick on the links below for more information on what was discussed on the show.\n\n  * Apple smart glasses (and other AI hardware) are coming\n  * Apple invites press to global ‘experiences’ on March 4\n  * Low-cost MacBook in ‘fun colors’ leads flurry of upcoming Mac releases\n\n\n\n## This Week in Apple History\n\nOn February 20, 2004, Apple released the iPod mini. It had been announced the previous January.\n\n## Comment Corner\n\n> Am I the only one who finds the idea of an A18 or 19 MacBook completely ridiculous? It’s supposed to be an “affordable” MacBook, yet you can purchase an M3 iPad for less than $500 today. Apple should simply make MacOS available on the iPad. They could even charge for the license or allow customers to choose between MacOS and another operating system when purchasing the device.\n>\n> _Doug M. via email_\n\n## Subscribe to the Macworld Podcast\n\nYou can subscribe to the Macworld Podcast—or leave us a review!—right here in the Podcasts app. The Macworld Podcast is also available on Spotify and on the Macworld Podcast YouTube channel.
