Apple’s “Scary Fast” Event on October 30th: Are Updated iPads on the Horizon?
Apple fans, mark your calendars because there’s a special event coming up on October 30th, the day before Halloween. Apple is calling it the “Scary Fast” event, and while it might sound spooky, the real focus seems to be on Macs. But there’s a hint of hope for those looking forward to updated iPads.
What’s the “Scary Fast” Event All About?
This event is Apple’s way of showing off some exciting new stuff. It’s a bit unusual because usually, Apple unveils its new products earlier in the day. However, this time, it’s scheduled for 5 pm PDT, or 8 pm EDT. If you’re in India, you might be wondering what time that is. Well, you’re in luck. The “Scary Fast” event will kick off at 5:30 am IST on October 31st, so you might want to brew a pot of coffee or set an early alarm!
The M3-Powered Macs: Not Just Yet
One thing that might come to mind is the possibility of Apple revealing M3-powered Macs. These would be the successors to the current M2-equipped Macs, but it’s not time for them just yet. They’re expected to make an appearance in the next year, so hold your horses.
iPads: Will They Join the Party?
The real question is whether we’ll get to see new iPad models during this event. Earlier rumors suggested that Apple would introduce three updated iPad models on October 17th. Well, that day came and went, and all we got was a new Apple Pencil with USB-C charging support. But here’s the twist: Apple’s surprise event might bring hope to those waiting for those iPads.
What Can We Expect from the New iPads?
If the updated iPads do make an appearance, they’re likely to be the standard iPad models. The premium OLED-screened iPad Pro tablets will have their own special event next year. But, there’s a wild rumor floating around that Apple might use LCD backlit screens for the 11-inch and 13-inch models. That would be an interesting twist.
Ming-Chi Kuo’s Perspective
Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, has been pretty reliable in the past. He’s changed his tune a bit and now thinks the focus of the “Scary Fast” event might just be those M3-powered MacBook Pros. That’s exciting news for all you Mac fans out there.
Get Ready for the Scary Fast Event
So, there you have it. Apple’s “Scary Fast” event is just around the corner. While the focus appears to be on Macs, there’s a glimmer of hope for iPad fans. It’s a late-night event, so grab your popcorn and get ready for some exciting Apple news on October 30th, or in Indian time, 5:30 am IST on October 31st!
