Apple is once again treating its fans to an exciting streaming event on October 30th, scheduled for 8 PM ET.

To make sure you don’t miss out on all the action, we’ve got the lowdown on how and where to watch it. You can catch the live stream on YouTube, Apple’s official website, and Apple TV devices. Alternatively, you can simply keep this page open, as we’ve embedded the stream below for your convenience.
What to Expect at the Halloween-Adjacent Stream – Apple’s Scary Fast Event
So, what’s in store for this Halloween-adjacent streaming event? Apple has already dazzled us with the big reveal of the iPhone 15, leaving us eagerly anticipating what’s next. The focus of this event is highly likely to be on the company’s desktop and laptop computers. Given the event’s name, it’s safe to assume that Apple will unveil its long-awaited M3 chip. After all, it’s been nearly 17 months since the debut of the M2, and as they say, “Moore’s law” is always at play here. For context, there was a 19-month gap between the launch of the M1 and the introduction of the M2.
However, chips are only as exciting as the devices they power. So, in addition to the “scary fast” M3 chipset, we can expect a couple of hardware announcements. Notable Apple analysts, Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, have both hinted at an M3-powered MacBook Pro taking center stage at the event.
Furthermore, Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the release of new iMacs, as it’s been well over two years since the vibrant and colorful 2021 refresh. Gurman’s insights suggest that the event might unveil a new 24-inch iMac, also equipped with the rumored M3 chip. He notes that the current iMacs are in short supply at retail stores, which typically signals an impending upgrade.
While it’s possible that Apple might have some iPad-related surprises in store for us, it’s more likely that any iPad announcements will revolve around M3-powered products. A new iPad Pro could be on the horizon, considering the event’s theme, even though it’s only been a year since the last iPad Pro release. However, 2022’s release was a rather modest upgrade. This could also be an opportunity for other iPad models to receive some attention, setting the stage for a holiday season launch.
Ready for Apple’s Scary Fast Event? We are!
In terms of surprises, the recent iPhone and Apple Watch releases, along with the forthcoming Vision Pro, which is expected next year, leave few options. Nonetheless, one delightful expectation is that Apple’s presenters will likely don Halloween costumes, adding a touch of fun to the event. Who knows, we might even get to see Tim Cook dressed up as the famous blue smurf cat that took TikTok by storm earlier this month.
