We felt fairly confident that we would see at least one piece of next-gen Apple silicon as part of tonight’s Scary Fast event. But how’s this for an early Halloween surprise: We just got three new M3 chip models. It’s a sizable shakeup of the company’s standard release schedule. The news follows months of rumors that supply chain issues had hamstrung Apple’s ability to bring the M3 to market earlier, around the WWDC time frame.

Whatever the case, at least they’re arriving in time for the holidays, Halloween included, I guess. The first batch of chips arrive in three flavors: M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max. No Ultra this time, for the clean sweep, but the company’s clearly not ready to introduce a new Mac Studio just yet.
