We are 30 minutes away from the Scary Fast Apple event.
I came across an Apple event bingo card from the Basic Apple Guy blog.
Are there any items on the list you don’t expect to happen or 100% sure will happen? Is there anything missing? Let’s get the conversation started.

And the event has ended, which apparently was all shot on an iPhone and edited on a Mac.
It was a 30-minute presentation, straight and to the point. However, I don’t know if this really needed to be a special event on a Monday night before Halloween.Yeah, I actually liked that they kept this fairly brief. The “shot on iPhone” reveal was cute.
Lemmy needs a live thread option
So I think the “chat” sort is supposed to be that I think. Maybe not all apps support it. And I suspect it’s got some bug too.
You can really spend $1700 for an iMac or $1800 for a MacBook Pro that come with only 8GB RAM in their base configurations. C’mon.
It’s interesting that they keep harping on “when upgrading from an Intel-based Mac”. I guess their data shows that a lot of users are still on Intel chips. Or maybe it just makes a better comparison?
I’m guessing it’s a little bit of both…
Apple is the king of better number bigger graph.
It’s definitely a bit of both. But nobody with an M1 Mac should really consider upgrading to an M3 unless they really want some specific new features.
I’m so on an old Intel MacBook Pro. Getting 16 GB RAM (which back then was more of an unusual investment) really has helped the machine stay quite workable.
The only problematic part of the laptops age is that Apple no longer supports it with OS upgrades 🤷.
Take a look at open core legacy patcher
The iMac is being upgraded with the M3 chip. I was hoping for a better screen and different colors.
Does the iMac really need an updated screen? Genuine question because I don’t know what it’s capable of at the moment.
27 inch would be better!
M3 Pro/Max already?? Daaamn
They said 3nm, right?
Yup
RIP Touchbar design. At long last.
Good riddance.
Three new chips: M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max on 3nm with “Dynamic Caching.”
OK, the new Macbook Pros are FAST!!! And in a new color. Oh, it’s Space Black.
I really was hoping they would have picked a bold color.
A MBP with 128GB of unified memory really outclasses most personal computers. They’re not wrong about that.
Until something fails. And then you have to replace or throw out the whole thing because the ram, SSD, video card, and just about everything else is integrated and not socketed/replaceable/upgradable.
Their repairability does suck but they can still be repaired. It’s definitely not a trash it as soon as something fails situation.
The Apple store is officially down.
Too late here. See you tomorrow guys, night night
You have to wonder why they are holding the event outside of North American business hours.
I wish they would have given some details behind how dynamic caching works. Without any context it kinda sounds like nonsense to me.
“apple highlights gaming performance” and “a minimum of 5 graphs are presented” seem guaranteed to me. That’s the standard when they have a chip update to present lol.
