    Actually kind of surprised Apple put this much effort into such a small announcement.

    They mailed packages to content creators, organised watch parties, switched to a completely different timing, produced all of those Halloween-themed transitions … all for an event that lasted half an hour.

    Weren’t the M2 Pro/Max MacBooks Pro unveiled last year via a press release? There wasn’t that much different here - base MacBook Pro has been integrated into the new Pro format, M3 coming to iMac, and a new colour.

    I suppose they really wanted to emphasise the mesh shaders, ray tracing and other capabilities of M3, even though a lot of that was already covered during the iPhone event.

      Why are people making such a big deal about this? Never buy the base model! Goes for cars too

      They lowered the price, except if you upgrade to 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD, which is probably reasonable in this day and age, the price is the same.

    16in MacBook Pro m2 512 just bought out of state for tax free, and now I’m considering returning it for the black version.

    Idk if the 250-300 I’ll have to pay in difference will be worth the new color and upgrades

    The iMac segment felt like they needed to stretch things out to reach a full 30 minutes. They used a lot of words and graphics to say “iMac has M3 now, and we changed nothing else.”

    They really are taking gaming seriously… /s

    All those hardware upgrades and you couldn’t show us a real game running?

    Having thought about it thoroughly, there’s nothing here that blows me away except for the fact it was all shot on iPhone. That’s properly impressive!

    They kept in such a high pace, made me feel there’re something huge or even a ‘one more thing’ was coming.

    But nothing happened. Tim said have a good night.
