I wouldn’t have thought they would delay for something like that. Had it been a live event Steve Jobs might have said something like “stop me if you’ve seen this before” like he did for the iPhone 4. If it’s pre recorded it would need a reshoot if they were that bothered.Sometimes when major leaks like that happen, companies will postpone announcements, I figure as they figure out how bad the leak is and probably reconfigure the announcement a little.
M1 was also a post Covid launch so you have to give them some slack for delays there too.Historically the Mac event of the year is usually by this time of October, give or take a week. However emails announcing the event almost always go out a couple weeks before the event. Historically only November event I can recall was was when the M1 chip was announced in 2020, although I reckon that is fairly recent, relatively speaking.
Apple could drop a press release with no notice, even though there’s a new Mac mini form factor rumoured.
But there’s still time for the countdown to begin if they put invites out on Monday or Tuesday for an event as soon as Tuesday 29th with on sale date of November 1.
When is the next apple investors call? Edit: October 31 which is a Thursday, nice bit of symmetry if they make new m4 macs available from Friday 1st of November. All the sales will be added to the next quarter
