Apple has announced it’s another event of the year that will take place this October only! And, just with Halloween around the corner, Apple has named its event similar to the festival, which goes as a virtual ‘Scary Fast’. While there have been rumours going on about the release of new Macs and possible iPads, we’ll know for sure when the Apple October Event 2023 happens.
Apple October Event 2023 Date and Time
The Apple October event on October 30, 2023, will be at 1 a.m. UK time, and it’s going to be a very different event than you’d have watched before. They’ve invited everyone to watch it as it’s a virtual event that will take place on their website. If you have an Apple device like Apple TV, you can use the TV app to watch the event. If you don’t have time to watch it live, you can watch the recorded event later too.
Apple usually releases new stuff in October, but this year it’s extra interesting because they’re going to talk about how much money they made in November. Normally, they’d tell us this money info in October, but now they’re waiting until November, so it clearly seems that they have planned something cool to show the viewers and Apple lovers in October instead.
What to Expect from the Apple October Event 2023?
Since Apple already updated the iPhone and Apple Watch this year, it’s likely they’ll reveal a new iMac in October 2023, as the last one came out in 2021. This is quite a long time between updates. And, this Apple October Event 2023 has clearly been a surprise for many followers because no one thought that there would be any more new gadgets released this year because the newest iPhone 15 series just launched.
The rumours of the new MacBook Pros are also going as Apple released the latest MacBook Pros in January with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. But, we don’t know for sure if there will be any new updates for the 14-inch or 16-inch models.
What iMac Rumors Are Circling Around the October Event?
The upcoming iMac is set to become more powerful with the introduction of the M3 chip. This M3 chip could come in different flavours, starting with 8 CPU and 10 GPU cores. If you thought that this was it, there are more rumours about an M3 Max getting up to 16 CPU cores and 40 GPU cores, along with the M3 Ultra model getting 28 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores.
When we talk about the iMac’s design, there’s a possibility that customers may not find a difference as it is expected to get a similar design to that of the 2021 model. And, it might be launched with a 24-inch display. While there are people suggesting that a bigger 32-inch iMac display could be released in this event, it’s very unlikely to happen this year. So, if you’re an Apple fan waiting for the newest iMac to come out, the time is here.
What do we know about the Latest MacBook Pro Model?
The 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models were released at the start of 2023 only, so we are not expecting their upgrades this year. But, with Apple suddenly going all out by making an amazing video for the event, it couldn’t be just for the minor updates and upgrades. The company wants to gather people’s attention, so you can definitely expect something new and exciting from the Apple October Event 2023.
In this case, “Scary Fast” suggests that they’re going to show off the new M3 series of processors. This is different from before when Apple introduced the basic chip first and then later brought out updates for the high-end Pro and Max versions. If they’re updating the MacBook Pro, which seems likely because new models are hard to find in Apple Stores, they’re probably using the M3 Pro and Max chips. The 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is older, could get a refresh sooner, possibly in the spring, with this new M3 chip.
This is a fascinating time for Apple’s computer chips because Qualcomm recently introduced its new set of chips for PCs, which, like Apple’s M series, are designed using ARM technology.
Analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, predicts that the Apple October Event 2023 event will feature these new MacBook Pros with the M3 chip. And, if Kuo is right, you can definitely expect the MacBook Pro to be available in stores and on Apple’s website somewhere around November 10th.
What else is rumoured to be launched in the Apple October Event 2023?
Apple still has a few Mac computers left: iPads, the Mac mini, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro. The last two were already updated in June 2023, so they’re not expected to change now. But, what about the iPads and the Mac Minis?
The Mac mini, just like the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, got new chips in January 2023. So, it’s likely too soon for another big update. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is testing a new Mac mini with an M3 chip, and they’re thinking of releasing it in 2024, which sounds like a reasonable plan.
Earlier, there were rumours and discussions about updates to the iPad mini and iPad Air. It was expected that both an iPad mini 7 and iPad Air 6 would be launched in October. However, when the date passed and no new iPads were launched, people thought that Apple would possibly release these newer models next year.
That being said, if Apple does launch the newest iPads, you can find the most significant changes to the chips they will use in their devices. The iPad mini 7 is anticipated to feature an A16 chip, similar to what’s in the iPhone 14 Pro and the standard iPhone 15 models.
On the other hand, the iPad Air 6 could be powered by the M2 chip. These new chipsets would likely bring improved performance and capabilities to the respective iPad models. You don’t have too much longer to confirm all the Apple rumours as only a few days are left for the event to take place.
