If it gives me 3 high resolution monitors in a package the size of my two hands I have a feeling I’ll be using it lots and it’s cheaper too.
It's not about the computer needing the chip; I just meant that it has been rumored here, here, and here, so should be included in this article.
As far as "why put M3 in an MBA?" it's pretty much just good for future-proofing, but why not?
M3 is now in the iMac, which Apple tends to market the same way as the MacBook Air (for everyone, all-in-one, easy to use etc.) so it seems like a natural fit for the laptop once it's already in the desktop.
On top of all that, I'm looking to go from a 13-inch M2 Air to a 15-inch, and would hate to buy a computer with the same, almost-two year old chip just to increase the screen size, when a newer version of the chip exists.
It would suck if Apple changed the way bands attach to the Apple Watch. Especially for the people who have accumulated a sweet collection of them like myself. Plus, they are not cheap, and selling them the year before at $100 a pop for many styles and then abandoning the system the next year would be significantly crappy.
Lame. Can't wait for the new Fire tablets! Let us know what to expect from Apple in 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028!
I am actually quite excited. Once in while, Apple launches class defining products, sometimes successful (iPhone, iPad, iPod, Macs, watches, AppleTV, iWork, iCloud), sometimes not so much (HiFi speakers, smart speakers, Maps), but inevitably they create a new market with all opportunities. Even if Apple doesn't succeed with Vision, that still will be an important step ahead for the company, so let's see how it goes 
I actually agree. Annual releases were important that OSX was young and needed so much refining, but now it is a mature OS which doesn't need annual refreshes with very minor substance. It can be moved to 18-24 month schedule without much difference. Instead, I'd like Apple to focus on resurrecting Aperture (Mirrorless and DSLR markets are up), further improve pro Apps, introduce new Pro apps.
I expect them to stop ripping off customers with 200€/$ upgrade prices for +256GB SSD / +8GB RAM.
16GB RAM / 1TB SSD should be minimum for any premium device.

No chance the new AppleTV has WiFi7. Apple is always slow adopting new WiFi tech. 6E though yeah.
Sure. Thanks for the ask.
I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion so you have yours that the iMac should be a Swiss Army knife for everyone’s other devices and I think you don’t know Apple at all if you think Apple has any interest in playing nice outside of their ecosystem (besides business apps). You have a clear idea of what you want for yourself, but ignore that some people just want a Mac, and they want it to work as a Mac. They don’t want to share it with their kids Nintendo that’s probably connected to a larger cheaper screen (tv) already. If they want a hub, they buy a hub. Plenty of those that connect well with USB C. Maybe hubs are just something more to carry with a lap top but they work great with desktops. For every customer they might gain with your more expensive concept of Swiss Army knife they would likely lose more that just want a Mac.
I like the simplicity of the iMac and how it fits well with Apple’s ecosystem. Your concept seems ripe for failure.
But that’s just my opinion.
And if they do that people will cry because the starting price will rise
It’s not hard to get Apple’s mindset regarded RAM and storage. They reason if you’re willing to pay more for a spec’d device then you might as well just buy the next more powerful model available right off the shelf.
I suspect a lot of those people who will get a built-to-order Mac are likely planning to keep it long term, longer than average. Looked at that way the initial cost doesn’t look so bad given they’re buying one machine as opposed to buying two or three to upgrade over the same time span. And Mac’s have a reputation for lasting generally longer than most PCs.
This is also reflected in tablets. People gripe about the price of iPads compared to Android based tablets, but iPads are generally built studier as well as get more OS upgrades and support. As such they’re expected to last longer.
The old adage still holds: you get what you pay for.

Big IF there.
I don't want to sound snarky, not my intention, because I too would snap up an AV Pro IF it offered me that.
However nothing I have yet heard or seen leads me to believe that we will get that with the 1st version.
Or it could always launch with a standard A17.
Maybe it doesn’t have the full 8 GB of RAM, a GPU core disabled and a slightly lower clockspeed.
We can expect more of the up sell. Kings of the up sell!
We would all love better hardware, more innovation and excitement. But I hope in 2024 Apple starts to take more seriously its environmental commitments and responsibilities.
They have the money and the know how to make hardware that is way more repairable and longer lasting (in terms of software and hardware support). Even if the hardware costs a bit more.. I think they have a huge number of customers that would appreciate it and tolerate price increases for that.
Because despite my love of Apple devices... Im starting to really deplore soldered storage, non user replaceable batteries etc etc

I have the A12Z 12.9" iPad Pro w/Magic Keyboard since launch. It's still a great device except for some hiccups for web browsing and short battery life. If the spec looks good in 2024, I may just spend the money on upgrading my iPad Pro over getting a Vision Pro.
you will have to wait til 2027 for the decent vision pro.
2027! so far away. Tim Cook retired by then.

Apple's Vision Pro 2 May Have a Brighter, More Efficient Display
The next generation of the yet-to-be-released headset isn't expected to arrive until 2027.
I wish they will figure out a way to fix the CAP Lock problem 🤪
