M3 Chips: Apple introduced their latest chips - M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max, which are further down to only 3 nm as compared to 5 nm in M2. These chips will be used to power the new iMac and MacBook Pro models. According to them, the M3 chip will be rendering at 2.5 times the speed of its predecessor, the M1, and the CPU will be 30% faster.
MacBook Pro: The most obvious change is color - where Apple introduced their 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros in Space Black. Both models will be powered by the new M3 chips, promising longer battery life of up to 22 hours.
The new MacBook Pros can be configured with up to 128GB of unified memory. This is probably good news for extreme users, especially to those involved in heavy photo and video editing, development tasks, etc. Speaking of the price, the 14-inch model starts at $1,599, while the 16-inch model begins at $2,499.
iMac: The 24-inch iMac now comes with the M3 chip, featuring a 4.5K retina display, an improved camera, and an enhanced speaker system. Prices start at $1,299, with the option to upgrade to a version with a larger storage capacity at $1,499.
Latest Mac will be available in green, orange, pink, yellow , silver, purple and blue.
No More Touch Bar: The Touch Bar will no longer be part of the new MacBook Pro design. (Honestly i kinda like it on my 13" M1 Macbook Pro)
What didn't happened - Magic Keyboard and Mouse with USB-C: While many thought Apple would be standardizing the Mac accessories with USB-C during the event, especially with the iPhone making the shift, this sadly didn't happen. Hence, people are still waiting for a fully USB-C integrated Mac accessory lineup.
