Apple had a fun Halloween event for some new products, titled "Scary Fast" by the tech company. They unveiled some cool, speedy new MacBooks and iMacs, all of which have their new M3 chips. This comes amid a slow season after the initial rush to buy their new iPhone 15 that was released in September, and it is sure to boost their sales again. These new chips will enable newer, better graphics and speeds 2.5x faster than the M1 in MacBooks, and its core processing speeds will be up to 50% faster than before. It also promised up to 22 hours of battery life and a new color- Space Black. The new Macs will start at $1,599 for the 14-inch and $2,499 for the 16-inch one. For iMacs, the new ones start at $1,299.
