As with previous events, “Scary Fast” will be prerecorded. Apple has decided to maintain its commitment to virtual presentations, making them accessible to a global audience without the constraints of a physical gathering.
24-INCH IMAC
Over the past few months, rumors surrounding Apple’s Mac lineup have been ramping up. For starters, it’s quite probable that the 24-inch iMac will be refreshed, as it’s still powered by the M1 Apple silicon chip.
The updated 24-inch iMac will likely maintain its colorful, slim design and screen size, with minimal external changes expected. However, internal refinements and a new manufacturing process for the stand are in the works.
The display, boasting a 4.5K Retina with features like True Tone, may not see significant upgrades. The camera might also get upgraded to a 12MP Ultra Wide lens with Center Stage. The slim design could limit port expansion, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support expected.
IMAC - DESIGN
Note that Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has previously said that larger iMac models, potentially reaching 32 inches, are not expected until late 2024.
MACBOOK AIR & MACBOOK PRO
Mark Gurman has said that Apple will not be announcing a new MacBook Air in the second half of 2023. This is because the latest 15-inch M2 MacBook Air was announced this year, in June.
As for the MacBook Pro models, the tech giant might refresh the 13-inch MacBook Pro, 14inch MacBook Pro, and the high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro. Based on previous reports, a design overhaul for these devices is unlikely but internal improvements are expected. So, users interested in a redesign will have to wait until 2024.
