Apple is preparing for another major product launch event on October 30, which will likely reveal updated Mac models.
The company began sending invitations for the online exhibition called “Scary Fast.”
Online event scheduled for October 30 at 5 pm Pacific Time
On Monday, Apple began notifying the press and public to tune in online on October 30 at 5 p.m. Pacific Time. The event will be streamed on Apple’s website and YouTube channel.
This coincides with rumors of an imminent Mac-focused showcase reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman after weeks of leaks hinting at imminent updates.
Animated Invitation Suggestions for Mac Announcements
Apple’s animated invitation features the company logo transforming into the Mac Finder icon. This strongly suggests that the event will focus on new Mac desktops and laptops.
The “Scary Fast” tagline also indicates potential performance improvements, likely driven by Apple’s next-generation M3 silicon that is expected to debut.
iMac and 24-inch MacBook Pro are said to be in the works
According to Gurman, Apple could introduce updated versions of the 24-inch iMac and 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with the rumored M3 chips.
Inventory depletion and delivery delays for current models suggest that updated variants are in the works. The fast new chip could enable considerable performance improvements.
M3 chip rumored to bring major speed improvements
While details remain scarce, the M3 chip is expected to take advantage of the performance jump from Apple’s recent M2 processor.
Typical annual improvements will likely enable notable increases in the speed of processing and graphics capabilities. This aligns with Apple’s “Scary Fast” motto.
Follows the launch of iPhone, Watch and AirPods in September
The Mac event follows Apple’s recent product showcase in September, which featured its latest iPhone 14 lineup, updated Apple Watches, and second-generation AirPods Pro.
This follows Apple’s pattern of hosting multiple launch events each fall to highlight its newest innovations ahead of the holiday season.
New iPads are not expected until 2023
Interestingly, rumors suggest that Apple could postpone iPad updates until early next year. The company typically reveals new iPad models in October.
But a leading analyst says supply chain issues have delayed the launch schedule. This opens the door for Macs to steal the spotlight.
Apple is making rapid progress on its internal silicon
Apple’s custom silicon allows it to update products at a faster pace than during the Intel era. The M2 chip was launched just a year after the M1.
Rapid annual iterations allow Apple to constantly increase Mac performance and efficiency. This maintains an advantage over rivals that still rely on third-party chips.
macOS Ventura and new Mac Mini are also possible
In addition to the new MacBook and iMac models, Apple’s latest macOS Ventura software update could also be released shortly after the event.
Rumors suggest that a long-awaited Mac mini update could finally emerge after more than two years. But the focus seems to be squarely on MacBooks and iMacs.
In short, Apple’s “Scary Fast” event on October 30 is shaping up to be a Mac showcase. The highlight will likely be the new high-performance models powered by the next evolution of Apple silicon that is expected to power it. Stay ahead of your competitors.
