They have abandoned so many of their great products.
Their accessory division needs to fire whomever is in charge...ditching leather, discontinuing mag safe duo, releasing stupid updates to the Apple Pencil, no iPhone docks, Magic Keyboard/mouse not being updated in years....
Apple Car?
Apple today announced its second fall event of 2023, with the online event set to be held on Monday, October 30 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Apple's October event will be about the Mac, and the company is expected to refresh several Macs in the lineup. Apple's Events website features an Apple logo on a black background that morphs into the Mac Finder icon, confirming the event's Mac focus.
As with prior events, this October event will be prerecorded, and it will be held online only with no in-person component.
Mac rumors have been confusing in recent months, but there are several possibilities. We could see a refreshed version of the 24-inch iMac, as that machine is still using an M1 Apple silicon chip. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said not to expect a MacBook Air refresh, but the 13-inch MacBook Pro, 14-inch MacBook Pro, and 16-inch MacBook Pro could potentially get new chips.
It is not clear if the refresh will focus on new M3-series chips, but depending on what's being overhauled, we could see the iMac and the MacBook Pro models adopting the 3-nanometer M3 chip lineup.

Given the confusion surrounding the Mac lineup right now, this is one of the more mysterious events we've had, though we are likely to hear more as October 30 approaches.
Apple plans to stream the event live on its website, on YouTube, and through the Apple TV app. For those unable to watch, MacRumors will be providing full event coverage on MacRumors.com and the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.

It would be so funny if Apple didn't introduce a Mac, just an expansion card for the Mac Pro.
Maybe it’s your ad block? Or something that stops videos from autoplaying?
I already gave the crowdfunding campaign for Season 14 of MST3K all my money.
Tim will just have to wait.
The confusion is about the rumors of updated Macs. Every "source" seems to contradict the others.
There will be no new hardware.
Apple is going to announce that macOS is now allowed to run virtualized on M1 and M2 iPads.
Apple is going to announce that macOS is now allowed to run virtualized on M1 and M2 iPads.
It is not remotely inferior because it is designed to address an unmet need and price point.
Unless Apple announces M3s in all the Macs it would be weird for the iPads to get it first.
It seems they’ve deliberately timed it to happen on the 31st of October for most of the world (it’s starts at midnight for us in Ireland, the Uk, Portugal, etc., for example). Everyone outside of the Americas will be watching it on Halloween. I love it. Scary clever!
What if…it’s M3 Macs AND iPads..and the iPad Pro models will be getting the Finder that so many have begged for!!!
Why "virtualized"? Under the skin, iOS and MacOS have the same skeletons.
But your take is one many people missed: sure, there is a Finder icon in the announcement, but that no longer has to mean a desktop or laptop computer.
Bring MacOS to the iPad line, add M2Pro to the iPad Pro tablets, and thus fill that niche (for which a few people are clamoring.)
It‘ll be 1am in Central Europe as our clocks go back next weekend. If you go to the events page and tap to add to your calendar you’ll see that it’ll correct for the change of clocks next weekend. It added it to my calendar (Ireland) at midnight, not 1am.
😎🇮🇪☘️
