When Could the October Apple Event Be Held?

I'm guessing the new Macs will launch alongside the next OS 10.

The new Macs won't be supported by BigSur.

Not interested, since we won't be getting anymore 120hz goodness, since Tim Cook will use 120hz next year as a major selling point, keep holding back features Timmy boy, $4,000 dollars you won't be getting from me this year for a new Mac. 😁

Disgusting, ProMotion is more than ready for these M series Macs.

So they'll get $4,000 from you next year and they will pay much less than if they did it this year. Supply chain and economies of scale works according to their schedule, not the customers.

third-generation AirPods
Click to expand...
I find it disappointing how people talk about AirPods like they're on the same level of interest/importance as the iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc...

Really, we should talk about them like they're a Magic Mouse or something. Which generation number is that on? Nobody cares and it doesn't matter. Yes, Apple should continuously improve it, but that doesn't mean it needs to have its own section during a keynote.

Also, as a funny anecdote, I've found that the AirPods kind of suck at connecting to Macs, iPhones, Apple TVs, etc...

But there is one thing that I find they connect to surprisingly well, and that's my Nintendo Switch. Maybe this is more about expectations or something. I expect my AirPods to reliably connect to my Apple devices, and instead it seems like they connect maybe 10% of the time without me having to do something first. On the other hand, I heard lots of complaints about how poor the bluetooth audio support is on the Switch, so I wasn't expecting the AirPods to connect at all. But they did connect. And once they were paired, it seems like 80% of the time they'd automatically connect the moment I turned my Switch on.

Anyways... Apple has fallen a long, long way from "It just works".

Looking forward to the event. Quite a month for me, iPhone 13 Pro, 2021 MacBook Pro 14", 3rd gen AirPods. Should last me a good long time. My 2016 MacBook has performed remarkably well but it's time for something with more horsepower, I bought this when I was still using a liquid cooled monster PC but this has since become my primary work device.

Am I hoping too much for a spec bumped iPad Air with A15, Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, 5G cellular option, and quad-LED True Tone flash?

I bet that will come together with the purple iPhone 13 in Spring 2022.

My 1st gen AirPods 'just work' - I jump between my MacBook and iPhone all the time. I want to replace them for three reasons; the battery life is pretty poor now, I want spatial audio support, and I want Hey Siri.

Never!!! after using a iPhone & iPad with 120hz, one does not buy a 60hz Mac ever again. 😏 I need macOS in all its 120hz buttery glory.

I would be overjoyed if the new MacBook Pros were 120Hz. My iPhone 13 Pro is incredibly smooth and responsive and I've used high refresh rate (165Hz GSync) displays for years. In my experience anything over 100Hz is pretty much unnoticeable but the jump from 60Hz to 100Hz is very noticeable. 100Hz to 120Hz is noticeable if you are really trying, anything over 120Hz I couldn't tell.

With silent release of watch 7, I'm thinking this event is now postponed until next year.

Also not many blurry leaks regarding new MacBooks, which again points to next year

I hope not. I've been holding off for a year with my 2016 MacBook and actually need something with serious processing power.

Well for me new Airpod pros are of most interest after M1x machines 🤷‍♂️

It needs to be 120hz otherwise no deal.
Love it on the iPhone and my external monitor. I realize some people don’t seem to notice it as much but for me it’s night and day.
