Apple 'Scary Fast' Event: What To Expect

According to recent insights provided in Bloomberg's Mark Gurman newsletter, Apple is poised to introduce a refreshed 24-inch iMac at this upcoming event. The report also hints at the possible revelation of two fresh MacBook Pro models. Gurman further noted that a larger Pro version of the iMac is on the horizon, with an expected release date in late 2024 or 2025. However, industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously indicated that the new 24-inch iMac would be unveiled in the upcoming year.

The previous iteration of the 24-inch iMac is fueled by Apple's M1 chip and offers consumers a choice of seven vibrant colours. It boasts a 4.5K retina display with a peak brightness of 500 nits. Notably, there are indications from Gurman's reports that the new Mac products could debut with Apple's latest M3 chip.

Gurman's report also alluded to Apple's decision not to launch new iPad models during the current year, with potential releases anticipated around March 2024.
