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.

The $1600 MacBook Pro only has 8GB of RAM. That is completely unacceptable.
Offering a pro model with 8GB of RAM is pretty silly. Anybody who buys that is not getting the proper experience.
I had a feeling it was going to be 8/256 when it when ‘business owners’ were described as one of the key user types. It’s the laptop the IT department can give to management that’s got a pro sticker on it, without having to give them something over powered. It’s a vanity thing. Actual pro’s will get something better, everyone else is probably better off with an Air.
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.
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.
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
RIP Touchbar design. At long last.
Good riddance.
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
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.
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.
I really was hoping they would have picked a bold color.
The Apple store is officially down.
Up to 128GB of unified memory for M3 max confirmed. That is seriously beefy.
The video feed is live now. As in previous events, Apple is streaming music, this time Spooky-inspired.
