Apple is preparing to host its second product event of the season, coming just one month after unveiling the new iPhone 15 lineup. This online-only event will commence on Monday at 8 p.m. EST / 5 p.m. PST, deviating from Apple's usual keynote schedule with a later start-time. Industry analysts suggest that this evening event may indicate that it won't be one of Apple's major announcements for the year.
The tagline for the upcoming event, "scary fast," seems to hint at the introduction of Apple's next-generation silicon chip, M3, alongside the Halloween holiday on Tuesday. Anticipations are high for the unveiling of new iMac computers equipped with this powerful chipset, which is expected to boost Mac sales. Mac sales have experienced a decline this year due to weaker demand, excessive inventory, and an unfavorable macroeconomic climate.
In addition, Apple might also showcase new accessories as it transitions to a USB-C universal charging system. However, there are currently no rumors regarding the launch of a new iPad.
Last month, Apple unveiled its iPhone 15 devices with a slimmer design, a more-advanced main camera system, a customizable Action button, and USB-C charging.
