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

[supergt]

Late to the party…what should I be outraged by?

the blackest macbook pro ever

 

[Kylo83]

this event should of been a press release

 

[klasma]

When OLED

2027 at the earliest was the recent rumor.

 

[mdriftmeyer]

24GB unified? That's it? Hilarious.

Face ID is more pro than space black

Some time ago when they were interviewed, Craig said TouchID is great on the Mac because "your finger is right there" -- as if your FACE is not. Also for many people, like me, my finger is not "right there" because I mostly use mine as a desktop and the TouchID button is usually at least 3 feet away.

Short presentation.

 

[Onimusha370]

Oh god is that it? LOL

 

[Realityck]

As you can see the M3 still is limited to 24 GB Ram

 

[Fuzzball84]

Has Apple always referred to the capabilities of the base products (iMac, 14 inch M3 MBP) as being for "exploring hobbies" vs the M3 Pro/Max MBPs being for Pros? Or are they using new marketing terms

They have always don’t this… despite most Pros… like the professor, or the executive never needing any of this processing power.

It’s just business sense for them. It’s engineers, developers, content creators and graphics/video disciplines that require all that processing power

“I just watched another Apple event that should have been an email”

 

[GMShadow]

Well that was short.

 

[tomtad]

this event should of been a press release

We’re only 30 mins in!

 

[Surfsalot]

lol all over red rover

 

[ipedro]

Well, that was disappointing. Womp womp.

*puts wallet away*

 

[Aston441]

Uh oh they just said this 24" iMac M3 is the perfect size to replace the 21.5 and 27" Intel iMacs.

That's bad.

 

[vegetassj4]

Better stuff here than at the previous event, but I really wanted to see new wheels.

 

[bobdobalina]

Yup, I still love my October 2021 16” MacBook Pro M1 Max maxed out except 32GB of RAM.
I think I’ll keep this thing for at least 5 more years. Might replace the battery though.

That's a great machine. RAM bumps are usually a good (if overpriced) investment. 32GB is plenty. I still use my 2015 even though I bought an M2 Max. It just works.

 

[zachz]

Is it just me or does the space black, look just like the current space grey?

just you, it looks way darker like the old black PowerBooks from years ago

 

[Tymbo]

Hugely disappointing…

 

[KPOM]

this event should of been a press release

It could have been, but I guess they wanted to showcase the M3 series.

 

[jepaz]

That was it? It’s like 2013 all over again.

 

[GuruZac]

They missed a huge opportunity to bring out a Space Black iMac!

 

[Dulcimer]

These f*****s actually introduced M3 but no MBA update. Goddamn it

 

[snow755]

one of the most shortest presentation in history

 

[Lioness~]

That's all 🙃
