Haha, no way?! That Nvidia 8600 GPU should be completely toast at this point. Mine lasted 7 years...
2023 if you haven't already preordered in the last 3 minutes.
I’ve been waiting so long for this. Most anticipated event for me since I bought my first Core 2 Duo iMac in 2007.
Apple is really cracking down on leaks. The redesign has barely leaked as well.
I suspect there won't be one. It will likely be an M1X iMac.
Not sure whether unleashed would be linked to laptops.
But … wouldn’t it be nice if for once something new wasn’t captured by rumors and voila “a wild iMac Pro appears “?
I hope that if the iPad Air comes in purple it actually has a color. All reports I’ve seen say that the iPad Mini purple is just a gray with a very slight tint. Very disappointing.

Yeah, I just can’t see slots in whatever it is, there wouldn’t be anything to put in them!
I guess both will be similar like the iPhone Pro and Pro Max versions.
There’s no GPU or different TDP to limit the 14” version from having all the options/configs
I am skeptical of 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That would be a huge departure for Apple. So would going back on the ports and SD Card slot. Maybe this is an all new Apple? But after the Watch 7 rumors were so wildly wrong, I am going to take a I'll believe when I see it approach.
It is kind of strange that I am not as interested in upgrading since I have a M1 Air. Previously I have bought the latest 15 and 16 MBPs every year or two. But the M1 Air is good enough, fast enough, and silent enough that I am not sure I want to upgrade. Maybe the 14" will be so good it will make me want to upgrade, but I can't see going back to lugging a 16" around. My last 16" had 32 GB and 1 TB SSD, and the M1 Air feels just as fast or faster with my normal workload and is silent.
I didn't get that from the tweet.
Remember, there are two rumoured versions of the GPU. That tweet just says the base version (16-core) will be the same between the 14" and 16". However, there is no guarantee the 14" will be allowed to upgrade to the higher end GPU version (32-core).
16 GB / 512 GB was already the standard for that tier. This is not new.
Same question here. I need to replace my 2016 MBP failing keyboard and need something for work urgently.
If pre-orders start Friday October 22nd maybe we can expect first shipment on October 29th ???
Anyone PLEASE help with information !
It is currently already 512/16 for base configuration.
Might become somewhat annoying if you are a regular user of clamshell mode - and it doesn't work...
I don’t know about the SD card slot, but the justification for an HDMI port is that USB/Thunderbolt can‘t support the maximum bandwidth necessary for HDMI 2.1.
The 16" MBP already defaults to 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. The 13" starts at 8/256 but it is not hard to imagine that any new M-series MBPs would both start at 16/512.
As Boak points out the Intel 13" MBP also starts at 16/512, so it's a safe bet that the new MBPs of both sizes will start at least at that level.
