Apple’s “Scary Fast” October Mac event is happening shortly. Looking for how to watch it? We’ve got you covered with every link you need right here. We’ve also rounded up all of our expectations, including predictions for a new MacBook, iMac, and more.

Looking for how to watch Apple’s “Scary Fast” October Mac event? The event will begin shortly, and the Cupertino-based company is expected to announce several new products. These include a new iMac, MacBook, and all-new M3 silicon. We’ve also rounded up when the Apple event will start, as well as our biggest predictions for what the company might show off at the event, too.

The iMac seems to have missed out entirely on an M2 upgrade, so it might be high time that Apple refreshes its lineup with a new model, kitted out with all-new silicon.

New rumors also suggest that Apple could be gearing up for huge game announcements, showcasing the power of its new chip, alongside other enhancements. Apple’s own A17 chip in the iPhone 15 Pro can handle hardware ray-tracing, so it’s not too surprising that the company might want to roll out titles like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage, Resident Evil 4, and more at its upcoming showcase.

Where to watch the Apple ‘Scary Fast’ event

Apple will be streaming the event live on YouTube. However, you will also be able to tune into the event via the Apple TV app on any supported device. We have embedded a link to the YouTube stream of the event below.

Streams are expected to go live before the event kicks off, meaning that you might be able to tune in ahead of time to settle in for the show.

When will the Apple ‘Scary Fast’ event start?

Apple’s ‘Scary Fast’ event will begin on October 30 at 5 PM PT. This is much later than their previous iPhone event, which began in the morning. For those watching in the UK and Europe, you will have to stay awake until the small hours of the morning to watch it all live.

If you’re not in the US, we’ve listed several common time zones below.

  • USA: 5PM (PT), October 30, 2023
  • UK: 12AM (GMT), October 31, 2023
  • Europe: 2AM (CEST), October 31, 2023
  • India: 5:30AM (IST), October 31, 2023
  • China: 8AM (CST), October 31, 2023
  • New Zealand: 1PM (NZDT), October 31, 2023

Apple has also added the option for you to add the event directly to your calendar on its website.

What is Apple rumored to announce at the event?

Apple is rumored to announce a slate of new MacBook Pros, going against previous reports which claimed that we would not see them until 2024. Additionally, you should expect to see a new iMac, too. There might also be an M3-equipped MacBook Air, but it’s unclear if Apple will announce it here, or at a future date. Given that Apple’s official website has a MacOS icon animation, don’t get your hopes up for any iPad-related announcements at the show.

What not to expect

Don’t anticipate an update to the 15-inch MacBook Air, as well as the standard iPad at this event. Additionally, you should also be pensive about any new announcements regarding new AirPods Pro earbuds, as well as any new AirPods Max earbuds, too.
