NEW from Apple (again)

Happy Monday! Did you know there are only nine whole Mondays left until we bid adieu to 2023? How time flies! 

Here’s the news: 

• OpenAI is hosting its first-ever developer conference today. Any predictions?
• Kendrick Lamar just dropped a phone. It’s already sold out. 
• We’re hosting a live event in San Francisco today. Join us!

It’s been a year of launches from Apple with new iPhones, new watches, an AR headset, and now, finally, some new Macs. The company from Cupertino wrapped up its “Scary Fast” event last week, where it dropped a number of Macs with, you guessed it, some blazingly fast new silicon chips. 

Here’s everything you might have missed: 

More powerful chips: It’s no surprise that Apple’s latest iteration of its Silicon processors took center stage. The new lineup includes the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, and according to Apple, these are the first personal computing chips made with the more efficient 3 nanometer process.

A new entry-level Macbook Pro: See ya Touch Bar! Apple announced a new entry-level MacBook Pro starting at $1,599. It comes bundled with an M3 chip, and more importantly, it replaces the base model 13-inch Macbook Pro. The touch bar is being discontinued. We’re sorry, or you’re welcome. 

iMacs get a refresh: iMacs have gotten an upgrade that the company insists is two times faster than its predecessor. Still with the same fun color options, the new iMacs come with the new M3 chips, a 4.5k retina display, and a 1080p webcam. 

Faster Macbooks and a surprise: Unsurprisingly, the rest of the MacBook line got a decent upgrade with the new M3, M3 Pro, and M3 chips, but the most exciting piece of news was arguably Apple’s return to black Macbooks. Ever since 2006, Apple fans have been begging for a new black colorway, and now the company has finally provided, and it’s 🧑‍🍳 💋. 

Well, there ya have it. That’s everything you might have missed from Apple’s latest and likely last event of the year. I was hoping for a Halloween-themed special edition of the iBook G4, but alas, there’s always next year. 

Product Hunt is ten! That’s right, ten whole years of watching and supporting makers in going from idea to launch. It’s been a wild ride, and it all started as a simple newsletter list. 

We want to mark the moment, so join us in San Francisco to celebrate a decade of makers launching extraordinary products! Meet the Product Hunt team, hang out with some special people from PH's history, and connect with other cool people building cool things.
