The company announced today that it would be streaming a product event at 5 pm Pacific\/8 pm Eastern on October 30, unusually late in the day (and in the month) for an Apple event. The &#8220;Scary Fast&#8221; tagline doesn&#8217;t give away anything about what Apple plans to announce, but both history and well-sourced Apple reporters and analysts suggest that the company will focus mostly on the Mac.<\/p>\n<p>As Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2023\/10\/apple-will-reportedly-squeeze-in-a-new-imac-refresh-later-this-month\/\">pointed out yesterday<\/a>, the iMac and all three sizes of MacBook Pro have longer-than-usual shipping times listed on Apple&#8217;s website, which often indicates that a refresh is imminent. I&#8217;d guess that having an actual livestreamed product event\u2014rather than just <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2023\/10\/apple-introduces-a-new-pencil-for-the-ipad-its-cheapest-yet\/\">announcing the new products via press release<\/a>, as Apple did with the new Apple Pencil last week\u2014increases the likelihood that any new Macs will come with next-generation M3 chips. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2023\/10\/24\/kuo-m3-macbook-pro-october-30\/\">M3 MacBook Pros<\/a> at the event, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2023\/10\/20\/no-new-macs-or-ipads-expected-rest-of-2023\/\">as recently as two weeks ago<\/a> he didn&#8217;t think Apple had anything left to announce this year.<\/p>\n<p>These new MacBook Pros would be coming just 11 months after the M2 refresh for those Macs, which launched back in January. But it&#8217;s worth noting that these Macs were probably meant to be released in late 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/linked\/2023\/01\/17\/m2-pro-and-max-mbps-and-mac-minis\">based on the original URL of their announcement video<\/a>. It&#8217;s not that the M3 MacBooks Pro are a little early; it&#8217;s probably that the M2 versions were a little late.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978276#p3\">Read 2 remaining paragraphs<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978276&amp;comments=1\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Ars Technica &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/?p=1978276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cScary Fast\u201d: Apple will stream a new product event on October 30<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enlarge (credit: Apple) Apple is squeezing one more round of product announcements into October after all.
