Apple Event Live Blog: MacBook Pro and iMac Updated With New M3 Chip Family

[zachz]

So much filler, showing off widgets and some random show or movie? Really? I can do that on a $400 Mac mini

 

[Realityck]

The news m3 Macs will all being using Sonoma of course.

 

[MrMacintoshIII]

So… the thing is, the new MBP 14” does not come in space black unless you buy the M3 Pro version of the 14”, if I understood the execuspeak correctly.

boooo widgets and tv shows!

 

[Kylo83]

Nits bump is nice.

you know an app called Vivid can up the brightness on m1 etc up to 1600nits so its just a software hack

 

[Dulcimer]

An Apple TV+ ad in their own event LOL

 

[Johnny907]

Ok so does only the new Space Black come with the new anti-fingerprint coating?

 

[minik]

Yet another darker color on the pro notebook line up.

 

[Orange Bat]

”We’ve reinvented the black laptop!”

 

[bobdobalina]

Space Black looks great, but can we get some actual colors? How about a yellow MPB for you know who... I'll take a Sierra Blue one.

 

[canon-cinema-0r]

No dual external display support for M3, I guess I'll keep my M1 until it falls apart...

 

[javisan]

Still no Face ID on a Mac, embarrassing...

 

[bigjnyc]

A STUNNING NEW UNMISTAKABLY PRO COLOR OPTION FOR PROFESSIONALS.

We call it: Space Black

I really wonder if they are self-aware of how ridiculously stupid they sound sometimes

 

[tomtad]

Not to be overly negative but couldn’t this be a press release? What’s the selling point over than it’s an M3 and faster?

Edit: if it had 5g or some really advanced OS feature then I would be excited.

We’re only 20 mins in!

 

[klasma]

lol did she just use Myst as an example of how powerful this new chip is. MYST?!

Lady, a four year old Raspberry Pi can chew through Myst on one monitor and a bunch of open web browser tabs in the other.

There's a new remake of Myst.

 

[dumastudetto]

Space Black is the most black, black Apple has ever used in a MacBook Pro.

 

[BLtheP]

This is even more yawn than WWDC23 was.

 

[sw1tcher]

MacBook Air with M3 is the play.

Or M2 MacBook Pro on clearance. I expect them (14" MBP 16/512) to be priced around $1,350 to $1,450 like how the M1 MBP was when the M2 MBP came out at Micro Center and other retailers.

 

[montuori]

(Shrug) Just the nature of message boards.

Yeah. Lots of bike shed painting. For real world use this stuff is pretty amazing.

 

[Candlelight]

I want a Product(RED) MBP.

 

[zachz]

Did I hear only available for pro/max? SO PRO

definitely a smart marketing move. My dad got the starlight 15" MBA so people know it's the newer M series air lol

 

[supergt]

Face ID is more pro than space black

 

[Pepperfection]

I wish in Tinder, people can detect you are using M3 MacBook Pro in Space Black!!!

 

[Apple_Robert]

Gotta admit the space black looks very sleek.

 

[Orange Bat]

The black just looks like any ol’ generic laptop to me.
