Yesterday, Apple sent out invites for one more event this year, which will take place on October 30. Many are still scratching their heads about the timing, since it is taking place at 5PM PT on October 30. Apple has never done an event that late, it is almost always at 10AM PT. Though the tagline ‘Scary Fast’ makes sense, since it’s the day before Halloween.
Now, we’re starting to get a few more details about what to expect at this event. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is back with more details on what we’re seeing at this event. Which includes a new iMac based on the M3 chipset. If this does happen, this would be the first time that Apple has debuted a new chipset without a new MacBook Air.
As Gurman has said previously, Apple doesn’t like to announce the MacBook Air and iMac together, since their customers overlap. So if we get an iMac next week (which it is very outdated at this point), it’s unlikely we’d get a new MacBook Air too.
What’s new in iMac?
So what changes are we expecting with the new iMac powered by M3? According to Gurman, not much. The biggest change will be the processor, going from M1 to M3, which in itself will be a pretty major change for iMac users. Since the M1 came out back in 2020.
There’s no other changes expected, but the internal stand design has been tweaked slightly. And colors are also expected to remain the same this time around. Currently, the iMac is available in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue and silver. So this would also mean that we likely won’t be getting a larger size. There’s been some talk about Apple debuting a larger iMac, like a 32-inch model. But that doesn’t appear to be happening anytime soon.
There could also be other Mac’s announced at this event, possibly an updated MacBook Pro 13-inch, though many in the media believe that model should be killed off, since it is so similar to the MacBook Air, in a much older body.
