Apple promises 'scary fast' Mac announcement the night of October 30
I'm all for choices and options. I am sure these new "scary fast" macs will be important to many people. And at some point in the future, I know I will benefit from them as I replace my gear. But...I have abandoned the iMac line, after using many many iterations of it, in favor of a third party 4k display and mac mini that serves my present needs. I am not a "pro" user and what I'd really like is a reliable, easy to use home desktop computer for simple, everyday tasks.
Apple does not make devices that appeal to low cost consumers. If you want a simple desktop computer, the mac is not for you. I do like the interoperability between the varied devices, so one intriguing possibility is that Apple does make a more versatile and affordable monitor "system" that can display, on a desktop, content from any source - iPhone, iPad, legacy devices like a mac mini, or...straight from internet sources, and just skip any local processing or storage.
YMMV. -

MacMan1993 said:A phone company announces its annual event for its latest phones. It also announces it will no longer make computers as they are a sideline business, and takes up too much time, few sales, and have lost interest in making the best computers. Making phones is easier and more profitable. The software division that made iWork, Final Cut, Aperature, Mac Server etc will also be disbanded, as they haven't done anything in years anyway. No one will miss them. No professional laptops (15" are just toys), no pro desktop Mac worth buying since 2013, no 17" laptop since 2012, no new Mac Mini, since ...I forgot it was so long ago. Old computers with old processors, old graphics cards, no user upgradable RAM, tiny RAM limit of 32Gb, same old high prices. Apple should give 5 year warranties. After 25 years as a Mac user, I am considering those PeeCees sadly. Cheaper, faster, 17" laptops, powerful desktop models. -
Giant 30-inch iMac, iPhone 15, OLED iPads: Apple's roadmap for 2023-2024

My computing needs are very modest, so there's little here for me to really consider. All sound like fine products...they just aren't for me. Truth of it is that Apple products hold up so well, they really don't need constant replacing.
The exception to all this is the iPhone 15. I'll be a launch day customer, as I have in fact worn out my iPhone Xr.
Very up in the air about update of my Apple Watch 4. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I still easily get a full day out of a full charge, so maybe wait.

iPhone 15 USB-C will fix some problems, but create issues for most
