The October Apple "Event"?

Apple just released a bunch of new M5 based hardware spec bumps a few days ago: iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, Vision Pro. Orderable now and shipping next week.

So was this the long-rumored October “event”?

I think so. Apple events aren’t real until Apple announces them, and rumors don’t really count unless Apple confirms them. Besides, even though they don’t have big staged presentations any more, most Apple events that I can recall do invite the press to come in and check out new hardware. That takes planning and preparation, so hard announcements have to come out ahead of time.

I was effectively offline since last Thursday, so thought I might have missed something when I saw the recent ew highs, but that was just the 17 sales going better, it seems… I expected 26.1 to be out at whatever ‘event’ came along, but no such luck it seems… So we wait n watch.

Personally, I love my iPhone Air. It’s no doubt largely because I upgraded from an SE, but I also think that the design was made for people like me who kind of miss the days of Apple focusing hard on design.

It’s surprising to me that the iPhone Air might not be selling that well. I wonder why. The name? Perhaps if it was branded the iPhone Fit, or iPhone Slim, it would be more of a hit Only half kidding…

But the fact that the other models are selling well is very good to hear!
