Apple enthusiasts are in for a treat as the ‘Scary Fast’ event is on the horizon, scheduled for October 30. While Apple remains tight-lipped about the specifics, recent leaks suggest that the tech giant is gearing up to unveil a range of new iMacs featuring the much-anticipated M3 chip, a revamped stand, and, perhaps, some fresh color options.
In recent weeks, the rumor mill has been abuzz with speculation about a possible iMac refresh. Some sources hinted that we might have to wait until 2024 for new Macs, while others were convinced that an M2 iMac was right around the corner. This ‘Scary Fast’ Apple event couldn’t have come at a better time to address these speculations.
Renowned industry analyst and Apple insider, Mark Gurman, shared his insights in his ‘Power On’ newsletter. According to Gurman, the M3-powered iMac has been in development for quite some time, with production reportedly underway for several months. While the external design may remain relatively unchanged, Gurman suggests that significant internal upgrades are in the cards, possibly accompanied by a new stand. As for the colors, Gurman anticipates them to be ‘similar’ to the existing M1 iMac lineup.
While some might be disappointed by the absence of entirely new color options, the prospect of M3 iMacs is indeed thrilling. Could we witness subtle variations in the existing color palette?
The 24-inch iMac has been long due for an update, and Apple has an opportunity to address some of the shortcomings highlighted in past reviews. The limitation of ports, a common concern in the latest model, is unlikely to change if Gurman’s predictions hold true. However, the M3 chip promises a substantial leap in performance, aligning with the ‘Scary Fast’ theme of Apple’s event.
Curiosity also surrounds the fate of the 27-inch iMac. It appears that this larger all-in-one computer has been somewhat forgotten by Apple in recent years, leaving fans yearning for substantial upgrades. The ‘Scary Fast’ event could be the stage for Apple to rekindle the 27-inch iMac and cater to the needs of its devoted user base.
With expectations running high, Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event promises to be a pivotal moment for iMac enthusiasts and tech aficionados alike. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this highly-anticipated event.
