Last week, the company announced a surprise “Scary Fast” event, prompting speculation that Apple would reveal new chips to power a new lineup of Macs. > As our resident Apple expert Brian Heater wrote, a new 24-inch iMac and a MacBook Pro refresh would be the most likely new announcements to expect from the October event, and he was exactly right. Apple’s new M3 chip lineup was the focal point of the event, powering each of the devices Apple showcased in their half-hour pre-recorded event that had some seasonally appropriate fog, bats and ominous choir music…but no big surprises for those closely following the rumor mill.
