“Apple’s final event of the year to be streamed on October 30 at 8PM ET.”
Apple is gearing up to surprise its customers with another event, appropriately named “Scary Fast,” scheduled for the night of October 30. The event, which will start at 8PM ET, is expected to showcase Apple’s latest hardware innovations. While the new iPhones and Apple Watches have already hit the market, speculations suggest that Apple may focus on Macs and new chipsets during the event.
With an annual cadence for chipset releases, it is likely that Apple will introduce the M3 series, following the M2 series that debuted 17 months ago. Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, has hinted that the event will feature the “M3 series MacBook Pro.” Additionally, there are rumors of a new 24-inch iMac making its debut at the event, as the current model is in short supply, indicating an imminent upgrade.
The event may also include announcements regarding a refreshed MacBook Pro lineup, as the existing models are experiencing extended shipping times on Apple’s web store. However, limited supply may impact the availability of M3-powered laptops, potentially causing supply constraints until early 2024. Despite this, Apple hopes that the introduction of M3-powered models will boost MacBook sales, which have declined this year due to limited M2 upgrades.
The event may also witness the introduction of new iPad models, particularly the Pro variant, powered by the M3 chip. While the next-generation iPad Pro may not be ready for release, Apple could provide a temporary spec bump to sustain consumer interest. Apple’s event will be covered extensively by Engadget, providing all the details for customers eager to learn about the latest products.
