A beloved classic that has dominated Nintendo for the last 20 years is soon to be available for Apple fans. I must admit, being a product of the 80’s & 90’s I was probably more excited than necessary when they announced that Super Mario was coming to the App store. Here are some of the highlights and a few of my own thoughts from Apple’s big announcement. The laptops received new designs with slim bezels and extra ports, including MagSafe, HDMI, and an SD card slot.The big announcement from Apple happened and those of us who are Apple fans probably geeked out more than a few times. Powering the new MacBooks were the high-end M1 Pro and M1 Max chips that built on the already impressive M1 chips that arrived in November 2020. On October 18, 2021, Apple launched redesigned models of the high-end MacBook Pro, with a 14-inch and 16-inch models making their debut. What did Apple launch at its October event in 2021? There’s an outside chance a new Mac Pro could still launch in 2022, but it’s looking more likely to be a 2023 release. ![]() ![]() We don’t have a ton of information about what a new Mac Pro will will like, but it will likely use an even higher-end version of the M2 chip. Apple teased a new Mac Pro at the Peek Performance event in March, but the current Mac Pro is still running on Intel chips. It’s now more than two years since Apple announced the transition from Intel to its own chips, and by October it will be two years since the first M1 Macs appeared. Mac ProĪpple originally said the Apple silicon transition would take two years. It might also be losing the headphone jack. Rumors suggest this model could get a redesign with slimmer bezels, a larger 10.5-inch screen, USB-C, and 5G. The biggest release of October could Apple’s cheapest iPad, the 10.2-inch entry-level model. Rumors say a new iPad Pro with an M2 processor is also on the way, possibly with wireless and MagSafe charging as well. It’s not just the Macs that will get new chips. The new high-end model could have a new design, color, and more ports, to go along with its speedier M2 Pro processor. We could also see a higher-end M2 Pro-based Mac mini to replace the Intel version that is still being sold. But a refresh to the M1 model might not be the only new Mac mini coming from Apple. Now that Apple has a 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, it is likely that an M2 Mac mini will follow soon, and an October event would be a great place to launch it. ![]() We aren’t expecting any changes other than the processor bump, however. And the current models have been on sale at Amazon for up to $400 off. This isn’t mere speculation on our part: In a June Power On newsletter Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicated that Apple is getting ready to release M2-based versions of the Mac mini, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro over the next few months. The most heavily rumored Mac to arrive in October is an M2 Pro refresh of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. Here’s what that translates to in other countries around the world: If Apple has an October event, we know for sure that it will start at 10 am PT. It’s looking like the event will happen late in the month-or possibly early November like in 2020-if it happens at all. We would ordinarily expect this year’s event to be held on Tuesday, October 18 or Tuesday, October 25–but given that invitations usually go out a week or so before the event is held, time is running short. In the past, Apple has held October events on the following dates:Īs you can see it’s not always the case that Apple holds an event in October, but it is certainly more often than not, and we have every reason to expect an October event in 2022. No invitations have been sent out yet, but we can get an idea of when the event might be held based on previous years. When could Apple’s October event be held? ![]()
