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 Can’t they just announce later that the Vision Pro will actually launch with an M3?

@Nickjsaunders @daringfireball months after announcing it was M2? why would they do this. they could have just held the AVP announcement to now

@delric @daringfireball Seems silly to delay the Vision Pro announcement based solely on the chip, especially with WWDC being ideal for developer engagement. My point is there’s nothing wedding them to M2 being in the VP that ultimately launches. They upgraded chips in iPads 6m apart at one point.

@Nickjsaunders @daringfireball well at least not naming the chip. But either scenario is erratic and thus very unlikely. Refreshed iPad doesn’t seem the same as announcing a new product with one chip, then re-announcing months later with another. True issue is length of time needed to prep product pipeline. Chip was definitely selected long ago, which would require lying during WWDC, which I don’t find likely at all
