Now, we have a definitive answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More new hardware is on the way for 2023 as Apple has announced plans to reveal these products next week during a virtual event that it&#8217;s calling &#8220;Scary Fast.&#8221; The event is slated for Monday, October 30 and at a very interesting time: 5 p.m. Pacific\/8 p.m. Eastern, making this the first product event Apple has hosted in primetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event will not be in-person. Instead it will be broadcast on Apple.com, Apple&#8217;s YouTube channel, and in the Apple TV app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invites sent to the press featured a black background with a ghostly Apple logo morphing into the Finder icon. Check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"984\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 986 \/ 984;\" width=\"986\" autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/scary-fast-animation.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-will-apple-announce-during-the-scary-fast-event\">What will Apple announce during the &#8220;Scary Fast&#8221; event?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on Finder&#8217;s inclusion in the above animation, it&#8217;s safe to assume we&#8217;ll see new Mac hardware next week. But which new Macs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An update to the iMac lineup has been expected for a while now and most of those who are connected to Apple assume that we&#8217;ll see new 24-inch iMacs debut at this event. And there&#8217;s already a bit of proof backing up this assertion that has been floating around since before the iPhone event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the weeks leading up to that event, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@sdw\/post\/Cyy1v_TSh2k\" target=\"_blank\">a photo of braided, color-matched USB-C cables<\/a> were leaked on social media. The assumption then was that those cables would be for the new iPhones. But, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@sdw\/post\/Cyy1v_TSh2k\" target=\"_blank\">as Sebastiaan de With points out on Threads<\/a>, now that we know the new iPhones shipped with white braided cables, it&#8217;s very likely that the cables are instead for these new iMacs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But another potential clue is in the name of the event itself: &#8220;Scary Fast&#8221;. Though some have predicted that we could see the first Macs with an M3 processor unveiled at this event, <a href=\"https:\/\/daringfireball.net\/2023\/10\/apple_scary_fast_event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">as John Gruber points out<\/a>, it would be odd for 1) that first Mac to be an iMac and 2) a Mac with an M3 processor to release before the upcoming Vision Pro headset, which is powered by an M2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those reasons, I lean toward Gruber&#8217;s prediction for what we&#8217;ll see at the event: we&#8217;ll get new, 24&#8243; M2 iMacs alongside &#8220;Scary Fast&#8221; iMac Pros equipped with an the M2 Pro and\/or M2 Max chips currently in the 14&#8243; and 16&#8243; MacBook Pros. Gruber also posits that these new iMac Pros might have 27&#8243; screens, another rumor that has been making the rounds as of late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there you have it. Be sure to check out the &#8220;Scary Fast&#8221; event next Monday evening and stay tuned here to Rocket Yard for coverage and reactions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple has announced a special event for new hardware next week.
