Live Blog of Apple’s October 18 ‘Unleashed’ Special Event
We will be providing coverage of Apple’s upcoming ‘Unleashed’ special event right here, beginning October 18, 2021 at 10:00am PDT / 1:00pm EDT.
Apple is widely expected to unveil new MacBook Pros at the digital event. We’re expecting new 14-inch and 16-inch models with an M1X processor, mini-LED display, flatter design, 1080p FaceTime camera, SD card reader, three thunderbolt USB-C ports, MagSafe, and HDMI. Some last minute rumors suggest the notebook’s display could feature a notch similar to the iPhone; as well as, a 1000nit display, 120Hz refresh rate support, no TouchBar, Touch ID with backlight, no Face ID, black keyboard area, and more.
It’s said Apple will debut two new chips. Both will reportedly have a total of 10 cores comprised of eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores; however, one chip has 16 graphics cores while the other will have 32. In addition to the MacBook Pro, Apple could also bring its more powerful processor to the Mac mini.
Finally, Apple could launch new AirPods 3 at the event. AirPods 3 will likely look similar to AirPods Pro but may not have key features like noise cancellation and transparency mode.
