Earlier, Apple suddenly announced that it would hold an Apple Event press conference with the phrase “Unleashed” at 1:00 am Hong Kong time on October 19. In addition to the miniLED MacBook Pro, audio products such as AirPods may finally be launched.
This time Apple Event generally infers that a new generation of MacBook Pro and macOS Monterey operating systems will be introduced. According to sources in the supply chain, in addition to upgrading the new generation of MacBook Pro to use the M1X chipset, the screen will also have the opportunity to switch to a mini LED panel and support ProMotion honor state update rate technology. In terms of body design, it is reported that the new MacBook Pro will return to the more acclaimed 2016 version, that is, the easy-to-plug MagSafe charging head, HDMI terminal and SD card reader will be added, the Touch Bar will be removed, and the physical function keys will be added back.
And because this press conference used the phrase Unleashed for publicity, which is similar to the graphic style of dance floor electronic sound effects, some foreign media speculated that AirPods 3, which had been “wolf is coming” several times, might eventually have a chance to catch up. It may be the last Apple Event conference this year to show up. Of course, the macOS Monterey system, which was announced at WWDC21 and integrated more deeply across platforms on Mac and iOS devices, is also expected to announce the push schedule at the press conference.
