In addition to Mark Gurman and Jon Prosser mentioning the likelyhood of a November event for Macs, a number of outlets are now reporting that Apple Silicon and their AirPods Studio may be the main focus of this event.

If true, it means we’re less likely to see any Apple Silicon powered Macs at the October event, but it does open up space for a possible iPad Pro refresh with A14X and 5g, though MiniLED would still be unlikely until next year.

Free Apple TV Plus Subscriptions just got extended!

Apple has extended any free trials of Apple TV Plus that would have been about to end up to January 31st for no additional cost. This is likely due to production delays that would have seen season 2 of many of the shows arriving around now after Covid. Of course, Covid 19 shut down almost all TV and film production for a substantial amount of time, but at least now we get a little gift of more free TV from Apple to get us through Christmas. Have you watched any of Apple’s original shows, let me know your favourite in the comments.

How will Apple Name their Mac SOCs? Your Answers

Don’t forget iCaveAnswers are always open

MindTek: Z series for entry point and X series for Pro level, presumably as a prefix not a suffix
Stephen Ligget: G series or P Series
Samudra: M or Z series
Siva Madhav Chinta suggests M14, M15 & M15X as we move though to getting Pro chips
Werner WeiB suggests M series but starting at 1, though this could cause confusion with the Motion CoProcessors

BigBird24 says M14 or Mac1
Could Mach1 be an idea? Really plays on the speed angle

AirTags Pricing & AirPods Studio
Val Kitchen (TheValNerd on Youtube)
I saw someone else wondering how much AirTags could be. I would like to know that too
I also wanted to see how much AirPods Studio, aka Apple Wireless Headphones, could be.

349 is the price I’ve seen around for AirPods Studio, inline with Beats Studio Wireless.
AirTags maybe 29 as mentioned yesterday
