The rumours suggest 14" and 16" MacBook Pros with M1X chips.

What else are you expecting or hoping for?

New iPad Air

Is this likely after the iPad announcements back in September? I would have thought that if they were ready to release them, they would have announced it back then.

Replacement for the 27" iMac with M2 chip.

This is the big one for me, my 2017 27" iMac is due for a refresh. My colleagues couldn't wait and have just pulled the trigger on the new 24" models but I think I'd miss the bigger screen.

16" MBP please for the love of god

I'm really interested in the new 16" rumours, especially if they remove the TouchBar and reintroduce some of the missing ports. My 2015 15" MBP is starting to show its age.

Same here. But we're going to be disappointed on Monday.

I think so. The rumoured delays to the bigger iMacs make me think they won’t announce them at this event and it will focus on the laptop lineup.

Does anyone here actually use Siri?

Nope.

If this is the head line act then it doesn't look good

Nah, this is just the starter before the main course.

Good upgrade on the regular airpods, but still seems like a much worse version of the airpods pro

The airpod pros don't interest me though — I have over-ear noise canceling cans and I don't want NC for my in-ear headphones, which I wear when I'm walking around outside/running etc.

If my current Airpod Gen 1s fail or I lost them, I wouldn't hesitate to replace them with the Gen 3 — they look great.

People will no doubt moan about 32GB max for M1 Pro, but these stats sound like a huge increase on M1.

64GB Memory for M1 MAX.
