Apple’s “Scary Fast” event on October 31st is a bit unusual as it will take place in the evening. The event is scheduled to begin at 03:00 AM in Turkey. We expect Apple to introduce M3-supported Macs, including the 24-inch iMac and MacBook Pro, during this event. An interesting development has emerged related to this event. Apple is sending AirPods Max in gift boxes to some users.
Why is Apple sending AirPods Max?
To promote the event, Apple is sending gift boxes to specific influencers. The box contains a free pair of over-ear AirPods Max headphones (worth 20,846 TL), along with some snacks and drinks that the influencer can enjoy while watching the “Scary Fast” event on Monday night. The name “Scary Fast” not only refers to Halloween, which occurred on Tuesday, but also signifies the speedy performance offered by the M3.
TikTok sensation Lamar Wilson shared a video on the platform, showing the gift box he received from Apple and the AirPods Max. In the video, the user said, “Oh my God, thanks @apple for the surprise box!”
While it may not be very likely, Apple could use the event on Monday evening to introduce three new iPad models. It was rumored that the trio, along with the new third-generation Apple Pencil with USB-C charging support, would be unveiled on October 17th.
As it appears, the new Apple Pencil has been introduced, but the new iPads were not unveiled. Among the expected three tablet models are a new 11th-generation base iPad, an M2-powered iPad Air (the previous model was equipped with an M1 chip), and a seventh-generation iPad mini with an A16 Bionic chipset.
While we await the iPads, prominent analyst Mark Gurman reported that these new iPads won’t be unveiled until March and that all of them will receive “incremental upgrades.” The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, the first iPads to feature OLED displays, will be announced at a separate event after the other three models become official in March.
