Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event: How to watch and what to expect

Last month, Apple introduced the 17th-generation iPhones, the iPhone 15, at the Apple Event in California. However, the launch is not the company’s final event for the year.

Apple will be holding ‘Scary Fast’ on Monday, Oct. 30, and this will be an online-only event with no in-person component. The announcement is important enough to merit a stand-alone event, but the time it will be held, which is later than the typical Apple keynotes, could be an indication that it is not one of the company’s biggest reveals of the year.

Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event: What to expect

The title of the launch contains an obvious allusion to Halloween, since it will be held on the eve of the holiday. And while there has been a lot of speculation about what to expect, the name of the event is providing clues as to what it will be all about.

Apple is expected to introduce its next-generation silicon chips, the (‘Scary Fast’) M3 and M3 Pro, which would be powering a new 24-inch iMac and MacBook Pro, respectively. The new chips are projected to help improve computer sales, which have been down in 2023.

Aside from more powerful Macs, the company may also announce updates to its iPad line, and the latest on the AirPods Max. The tech giant could also unveil new accessories as they transition to a USB-C universal charging system.
