Apple Announces "Scary Fast" Event Occurring on Oct 30

Apple, the technology giant, has revealed the date for its next hardware event, subtitled "Scary Fast," to be held on October 30 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. Apple's announcement did not provide any specific details about the products to be unveiled at the upcoming hardware event. In spite of this, speculations suggest that this event may primarily revolve around new updates to their Mac products.

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, through his Power On newsletter, Apple is reportedly planning to release a new 24-inch iMac. This model refresh is certainly considerable news, given that the last update to the iMac was in April 2021, where Apple introduced several color options, upgraded cameras, and importantly, transitioned from Intel CPUs to the M1 chip.

The event's captivating tagline, "Scary Fast," sets a scene for the potential announcement of a new iMac equipped with an M3 chip. As things stand, the iMac remains the only Mac computer utilizing the M1 chip, which was originally launched in 2020. In contrast, other Mac products, such as the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Pro, have all been upgraded to include variations of the M2 chip.

In addition, this event will not likely provide more information on the Apple Vision Pro, Apple's maiden mixed-reality headset, which is slated for release early next year. However, Apple enthusiasts and tech watchers eagerly await the event to discover what new products and updates the tech giant has in store.

The event will stream online on Apple's official website, giving viewers around the globe a chance to tune in and catch the unveiling live. Meanwhile, the industry anticipates the event with bated breath and theorizations about what the cryptic event title could imply continue to spin.
