October event is reportedly set to unveil a new MacBook
Rumors suggest the upcoming October event will feature new Macs in the limelight. These are projected to be the 24-inch iMac, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, and perhaps even a fresh 13-inch MacBook Air. Additionally, the much-talked-about M3 chip is touted to make an appearance finally. This aligns with the 'Scary Fast' theme of the event.
For the upcoming October event, the invite flaunts a non-moving Apple logo, while the webpage features a GIF on a loop showing a switch from the tech giant's logo to the Finder app's dark design. As per tradition, the online October event will be prerecorded and solely virtual, with no live audience.
Some of the whispers suggest that a revamped iteration of the 24-inch iMac may surface since it still houses the M1 Silicon chip. Although MacBook Air updates are unlikely, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman speculates that a revamped 13-inch MacBook Pro, possibly accompanied by a fresh 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, may welcome new chips.
IMac and MacBook Pro models may adopt the 3-nanometer M3 chip lineup following an uncertain refresh focus.
