Gurman: Apple Planning Multiple Events for the Fall, M1X MacBook Pros to be Available by November

Awfully quiet about the bigger iMac. The M1 iMac looks nice, but can’t replace my 27” iMac with that.

Seems like this is a 2022 item.

What would one need 5G in their watch for? No one is streaming 4K video on it. Is there a value add I'm not considering?

5G is the fifth generation cellular architecture, not just a protocol or antenna standard. Adopting 5G means little if you don't talk about the features you are getting - mmwave would be pointless, but mid band (more devices per cell, longer range, slightly better bandwidth, significantly reduced latency) or low band (slower speed at extremely long range, cheaper connectivity pricing) would both be cool.

Or you can understand this new stuff is way more private than using any other solution by a competitor.

What?
Where can I find comparable functionality at a competitor? Which Linux has comparable functionality?

I only care about the computers.

So then the Apple Watch, AppleTV, iPad, AirPods and Macs then?

The first event of the fall in September will likely include the new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, while the new iPads and possible updates to some of the company's services could be reserved for a second event, with the final event of the season being focused on Apple silicon Macs.

Sounds great!

I hope Apple also pepper some extra products here & there, like I think they did last year (AirPods Max, accessories).

The events are nice - whether live or online - but when they’re over it’s sometimes previously felt like ‘that’s it until spring’.

I've been enjoying Apple releasing smaller products in the spaces in between events. It’s created a feeling of there always being something new/something released not too long ago to focus, on while waiting for the bigger updates coming along the conveyor.

You can always get a mac mini and a 32" monitor!

I really like the all-in-one package you get with the iMac. But yeah, if they take much longer I might have to go that route.

*buzzer* wrong....

Evidence? Because you didn't say "I suspect it will be improved" or "I've heard otherwise" but rather "wrong"

We need the in-person events back, the over-polished digital ones have started to become a bit stale (nonetheless they're still cool)

i have a series 3 and so i think i might upgrade. still thinking about the phone though. i have a XS that has been very solid. The 12 cameras are incredible so the camera improvements + the pro-motion upgrade might land me a 13 pro.

With Apple’s embrace of spyware in their products. I’ll avoid these events and their products from now on. Thanks though.

[bluespider]

Sooo, you are saying there’s a chance? A new iphone, something called and apple watch? September? What is this wizardry you have to make such predictions

 

[RedRage]

I was going to buy a Macbook this year but I don't need a spy device.

Same here. No new Macbook for me. Bye Felicia

I hope they don't delay anything like last year...

 

[Rafterman]

I wonder what sort of celebrity voices they will use for the Audio Meditations feature? I'm hoping for Gilbert Godfried and Bobcat Goldthwait

I like your Avatar.

In fact I bet when the nMavc Pro comes it will have multipliable m1X chips inside of it! the new 27 inch iMacs comes it will have a new M1X chip in it!

 

[Count Blah]

Still rocking my first retina MBP from 2012. the battery health is still at 92% but it is about time for something new ?????? Existed for the redesign. Bring it on! My tax return money has been ready since March

I'm in a similar boat, except I have the 15" cMBP from 2012. Gunna be sad when this workhorse gets retired It's been the best computer I've ever owned.

Somehow news Macs adds nothing that wows me anymore, I want to see 3d innovations, e.g new hardware supported type of shaders etc., things that matters.
Apple keep redoing cosmetics on the Mac, but overall Macs stays the same. Where is RTX?

Remember, they make general purpose computers, not toys for Bill Gates.

I hope they don't delay anything like last year...

I hope not. Last year was a struggle and Apple took too long. Launching an iPhone in November. Don’t want to encounter that this year!!!

The iPhone X came out in November as well.
