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

My 4 was the last one that comfortably ended the day. My series 5 barely gets through the day. If I do an hour of exercise, it end close to 10%.
Or because of production slowdown, general availability starts at December. That’s my guess. Not seeing Apple wanting to distribute mere millions of machines around the world just so they can arrive at a handful of customers hands faster.
So, exact opposite, means it won’t be too much faster, but has all the extra benefit? I’d prefer a machine with better utility than just having raw power and no way to properly use it, but more power is always good to have.
About a month ago I ended up upgrading to an iPhone 12 Pro from an iPhone X, mostly because of an impromptu “this can’t wait then” situation.
For how I use it, besides the QoL enhancement of a magnetic MagSafe charger stand (it wirelessly charges phone, watch and AirPods with the phone held at an angle), it’s a complete misuse of tech budget in my opinion… sure LiDAR, sure “Pro Cameras”, etc. I use rarely any of that, the iPhone X was plenty good and performant for everyday things.
Games I was prototyping which ran at like 25fps on the X run butter smooth on the 12… but they would get at some point to run at 60fps anyways on an X, and 8,7, SEs, etc with a proper optimization pass.
I think you might be on the same boat.

There are no recent news regarding AppleTVs are there?
When trying to have audio output to two headphone sets it came to my attention that an AppleTV HD happens to be too old for that… any ideas to work around that? Or would it be such a mistake to get one of the most recent Apple TVs launched when the M1 iMacs happened (but that are barely an actual upgrade in practice)?
My 5K iMac was getting pretty long in the tooth, so I bought this M1 24" iMac as a replacement. It felt a little cramped when I first got it, but I have to say, I've adusted pretty well to the smaller screen. I still may get whatever "pro" iMac when it comes out, but this is proving to be an excellent machine.
I should have added that I'm happy with my iPhone X and I don't really need to change it. The lightning port is becoming temperamental though and, as I write Apps for a living, I need to plug it into my Mac for XCode work.
The real driving force is that my wife's iPhone6Plus is about to die. The kids are always "borrowing" it, taking photo's and videos so I've told her she can have my X and I'll get a newer phone which she's happy with.
I've ordered a charge pad for wireless charging for the X so that it can be charged even when the LP finally does die.
I don't play games. I used to in my youth so I'm guessing it's an age thing...
EDIT: ...and LiDAR is a waste of space. I'd rather see an NiR lens there instead of a LiDAR one. I've seen a prototype $5 NiR camera designed specifically for smart phones. Now that has huge application potential. Apple Watch already uses it.
Without having to set up huge physical place, logistics, invitations, etc, it’s easier to pre-record multiple video “keynotes”, and thus keeping the hype longer throughout 4th quarter. Apple will be constantly in the news, leaving competitors harder to get headlines.
In a previous newsletter, about a week or two ago, I think he mentioned the bigger Apple Silicon iMac is set to arrive next year.
Totally sucks for folks to have to wait this long for the pro machines.
I guess no more Intel---only one model was released after the M1 (iMac), despite the fact Tim used plural when discussing the Intel Macs during the M1 announcement.

Wow, 6 pages already. That's what I get for having a life, lol!
And abracadabra, we're back to the M1X!
I guess my idea of using Cars song titles and lyrics didn't pan out. Oh well; I can still hope for them to skip over both M1X and M2. We're all such know-it-alls! 😁

Wish the MacBook Pro were ready for the start of the back to school season. I desperately need a new computer!
If it wasn't for the pandemic, I'm sure that these MBPs would've been released in time for BTS...and the prosumer iMacs would've come out in Oct/Nov...
When is the innovative TECH SLOWDOWN suppose to occur that APPLE themselves mentioned? NEXT YEAR? or 2023?
After they have reached 3mn Chips and can't go any smaller?

Shouldn't be a surprise. Jobs said the same thing about PPC Macs during the Intel transition announcement, claiming that Apple still had some PPC products on the pipeline. Reality said otherwise.
Do most rumors point towards an iPad Air-like design for the Mini this year, or will we get a similar design as before?
I’d normally agree but feel apple might want to expose iPhone customers to the power of the M1X, this is a potentially large market for the MacBooks to grow into. So having a shared event for iPhone, Apple Watch and M1X makes sense.
