They said late November but I just ordered a 16" M3 Max and it says it will deliver on November 7. Glitch?
 
The M3 Pro and Max now start with 18GB of RAM, which is...what the heck?

Upgrade tiers are 36/48/64/96/128.

If you bought a M2 MacBook Pro 9 months ago, I wouldn't feel too bad, but if you bought one after June, I would feel kinda scammed.

Question: since we are a few days from the holidays extended return period, if I place order today (and assuming the extended return period starts a few days later), does my purchase still have the extended return window? Thanks.
 
This could have been a Press Release, to reduce our expectations, but keep reusing lighting cables apple while you claim that you improved each lineup when you didn't even improve the iPad lineup this year!!!

I doubt anyone with M1 or M2 chips will be envious about M3

There’s some nice performance increase and architecture changes to GPU but for the vast majority of users… you won’t be missing out much

And all because Apple silicon is so fast to begin with… M1 is still awesome

No wonder they are happy to leave MacBook Airs on M2… for such bursty workload systems there is no real benefit.
 
I wanted an M3 Pro and more RAM in the iMac. :(
Was thinking about the iMac....they make it so thin they can't put the bigger chips in it that need serious heat ventilation equipment, so no CPU up-selling for them - that's a bummer.

Glad they kept the colors and they obviously mean to keep it at 24' with the comparisons to 27 Intel iMac's, leaving money on the table there again. Will be getting one next year, but wanted a 27' or larger, oh well.
