Apple to hold a Mac launch event soon; M3-powered iMac, new MacBook Pro on the cards

tech.hindustantimes.com:

After some anticipation, a report has claimed that new Mac devices will be launched before the end of the year. The information comes from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has revealed that Apple will likely host its Mac event between October 30 and October 31, bringing upgraded MacBook Pro models and a new iMac for consumers. The launch may witness several configurations of 24-inch iMac, alongside new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. The event will be held just a week away but the fact that it is yet to be announced officially might make it one of the shortest announcement-to-launch event cycles for the tech giant.

Gurman highlights in his report that currently, Apple's iMacs and MacBook Pros are in “extremely short supply online and at retail stores”, and are facing shipping delays that run into mid-November. This delay could be a big indication that new products might be introduced by Apple, according to historical trends.

But this is not the only clue we have regarding the possible Mac launch event at the end of the current month. Gurman also pointed out that Apple's next earnings call with its investors is scheduled for November 12. Interestingly, the last time Apple held an earnings call in November to post its quarterly revenue targets was in 2018. Interestingly, that year Apple held a launch event to introduce new iPads and Macs on October 30.

These two reasons combined make the likelihood of a Mac launch event at the end of the month quite likely. To make matters more exciting, Gurman also revealed some details about the products that could be launched.

A new 24-inch iMac is expected to be the highlight of this event, as the company has not refreshed the current iMac for more
