    Super annoying. They release 2 iterations of these pros in 1 year, but we won’t have seen an updated 13” since 2022.

    I’d be all over a new iMac honestly if the new processor is worth upgrading. I have an i9 MacBook Pro from 2019 which has had some mixed results in terms of Final Cut performance. Hopefully the new iMac is powerful.

    Am hoping for new colours - unlikely but I dare to dream. Space grey was awesome in 2016 but it’s just so bland now

    I bought a MBP M2 in late-August.

    In other news, my area has needed rain. So, I’m planning to wash my car this weekend.

    My toddler decided it was time to end my old MPBs life so I had just ordered a refurbished M2 16 inch to replace it earlier this week before the event announcement. Arrives today!

    Will be interesting to see the difference in the performance/price to see if it’s worth returning my purchase and ordering new…

    “The division represents about 10% of annual sales, making it bigger than the iPad and around the same size as Apple’s wearables lineup.”

    And yet the most meaningful updates to macOS since Mojave have been macOS Tinsel (BigSur), macOS Confetti (Monterey), and macOS Glitz (Ventura) and the latest macOS Glam (Sonoma).

    Having M3 chips powering macOS is like having Formula 1 car with 1000 horse power that’s limited to 30mph, a fixed 45 degree turning angle, tied to a trailer, and control switches that no longer do what you expect.

    What a waste.

    Darn I was really hoping for updated MacBook Airs before the holiday. I dont necessarily need it right now as it’s just a want. I am debating on trading in my iMac for the M3 variant but again, it’s not a necessity it’s really just a want.

    Why do they think there won’t be m3 MacBook airs now? Hasn’t Apple refreshed the air line first in the past few years?

      MacBook Air 13 is Apple’s best-selling computer, and I imagine TSMC isn’t able to produce enough 3-nanometer M3s yet to meet Apple’s needs. They wouldn’t want MacBook Airs to be in short supply in holiday quarter.

    I owned the original iMac in tangerine color. Maybe I should get one of these 25yr anniversary ones in tangerine. My current Mac mini is getting old.

      With a base M3 I feel so slighted.

      Why is it that apple silicon doesn’t have desktop and mobile chips in separate classes?
