Apple’s holding a “Scary Fast” hardware event on October 30 at 8PM ET. The company hasn’t announced what will be revealed, but rumors indicate refreshes to the iMac and MacBook Pro.
Yes, that’s in the dead of night during the spookiest of seasons. The company’s calling it a “Scary Fast” event, which certainly either means Apple is getting into horror shorts, or it's going to announce some improved hardware — our bet's on the latter. You can watch Apple's October eventso that leaves the company’s desktop and laptop computers. Given the event’s name, it’s highly likely Apple will drop the long-awaited M3 chip.
Chips are only as good as the gadgets they power, so there should be a couple of hardware announcements to go along with that “scary fast” M3 chipset. Apple analysts Ming-Chi Kuo andMark Gurman both suggest that an M3-powered MacBook Pro will take center stage at the event.Gurman has reported that the event will likely see the introduction of a new 24-inch iMac, also powered by the rumored M3 chip.
There could also be some iPad announcements at the event. If the whole stream revolves around M3-powered products, it’s more likely we’ll get a new iPad Pro than a standard entry-level tablet. However, it’s only been a year since the most recent iPad Pro debuted, though 2022’s releaseOf course, other iPad models could get some love, setting them up to launch just in time for the holidays.
There could be some surprises, but we just got new iPhones and watches, and we know the Vision Pro isn’t due until next year, so that doesn’t leave a whole lot of options. At the very least, Apple presenters will likely be forced to wear Halloween costumes, which should be fun. Maybe we’ll see Tim Cook dressed as that blue smurf cat that blew up on TikTok earlier this month.
