Apple invites you to a special event before Halloween – Starts at 1am. Google’s new top phone is said to have an annoying display problem

On Tuesday evening, Apple announced its next special event, product presentation, which will take place on Tuesday, October 30, the day before Halloween. From a European perspective, this means the night: according to the announcement, the purely online event, which will be broadcast on the Internet, will start at 01:00 (CET).

The unusual time of the live broadcast raises questions. Apple’s product presentations traditionally start at 7 p.m., Central European time. Since the coronavirus pandemic, Apple has held several presentations as online events without an audience.

According to The Verge, previous rumors suggest that Apple could introduce a new MacBook Pro with a faster processor and a redesigned 24-inch iMac.

The event’s tagline ‘Scary Fast’ suggests Apple is launching the next generation of its own chip developments: the M3. This should be an even more powerful and at the same time more efficient, i.e. energy-saving processor. If you’re interested in details, you can find them here on macrumors.com.

However, Apple expert and tech blogger John Gruber (Darin Fireball) expresses his doubts whether Apple will actually launch the next generation of chips. The Taiwanese chip manufacturer TSMC, which supplies Apple, is busy producing chips for the iPhone 15 Pro. These are manufactured for the first time using the 3-nanometer process – so they are even smaller than previous versions.

The online event should be available via Apple’s website and Apple’s YouTube channel.

In recent years, Apple has introduced new iPads in October. Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo thinks that upgrades for the tablet computer may not be available until next year.
