Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event: what to expect
The Apple logo on the next Apple event invite will change to the Mac logo, giving us a clear idea of what the key products will be unveiled on Tuesday. Apple is expected to unveil the first Mac computers with M3 chips – the company’s first processors for its computers built on a 3nm process, much like Apple’s new A17 Pro chip on the iPhone 15 Pro models. The new M3 chip is expected to be the most notable upgrade on Apple’s new Mac models.
At the upcoming launch event, Apple is tipped to announce a new iMac – the first upgrade from the company’s 2021 model that came equipped with an M1 chip. As a result, the next model is expected to offer quite a big jump in performance compared to its predecessor. However, according to reports, the design of the upcoming iMac model is unlikely to see any major changes.
Apple is also expected to unveil refreshed versions of its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Both laptops are expected to feature Apple’s more powerful M3 Pro (12-core CPU, 18-core GPU) and M3 Max (16-core CPU and 32-core GPU) chips – which should represent a jump in performance offer over the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro models unveiled earlier this year.
The company is unlikely to launch updated versions of the Mac mini, Mac Studio, 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with the next-generation M3 chip until next year, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. However, following Apple’s recent move to using a USB Type-C port on its iPhone lineup, we can also expect the company to announce new USB Type-C versions of its accessories for Mac computers, including the Magic Keyboard, the Magic Mouse and the Magic Trackpad.
