Apple to Broadcast ‘Scary Fast’ Event Next Monday Night

So I’m just guessing here, but I’m thinking this event might be about iMacs only, and just an upgrade to the M2, and maybe some design changes, like, say, fresh colors. It’d be a lot more fun if it’s the debut of the M3, but my spidey sense says that’s not happening yet.

@daringfireball Any chance they announce M3s next week, then say “Hey, we’ve also decided to upgrade the Vision Pro to the M3 ahead of launch, surprise!”
They couldn’t have announced the AVP with an M3. Whether the M3 comes out now or just after the AVP, launching it with an M2 will still feel like old hardware. And ray tracing seems like it would be huge for the AVP.

@AG_Design @daringfireball this theory always made the most sense to me timing wise. I think that the test units for Apple Vision Pro may legitimately have M2s in them, but the production units for sale were always destined to be equipped with M3s.
