Apple October 30 event officially confirmed, to launch ‘Scary Fast’ devices

Apple's October 30 event has finally been confirmed by the company after much speculation on the internet. Taking place just a day before the Halloween festival, Apple’s October 30 event is called ‘Scary Fast’. The Apple Scary Fast event will begin at 8pm EST which means in India, people will be able to stream the event on Apple’s website and YouTube at 5:30pm IST. If reports are to be believed, Apple is preparing to reveal updates for the Mac lineup at the event.

Apple may be planning to announce a refreshed 24-inch iMac at the event, along with a new MacBook Pro, according to reports. Previous rumours indicated the new computers could include Apple’s new M3 chip for even faster performance.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the tech giant may end “an over 900-day drought since the M1 iMac launched in the first half of 2021”. He was “told that Apple is planning a Mac-centered product launch around the end of this month”.

According to the report, several configurations of the iMac, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and other higher-end Pro models won’t ship until November. The tech giant organised its “Wonderlust” event in September, where it revealed the new iPhone 15 lineup, Apple Watch Series 9, and AirPods Pro with USB-C charging.

Meanwhile, Apple has brought more choice to iPad users with a new and affordable Apple Pencil that offers pixel-perfect accuracy, low latency and tilt sensitivity. The new Apple Pencil will be available for Rs 7,900 (Rs 6,900 for education) beginning in early November. (with inputs from IANS)
