New Macs are coming at our faces!
Apple media invites went out yesterday!
The invite is for an event, as you can see above, that will be held on Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 a.m. at Apple’s Cupertino campus.
The event is expected to focus new Macs, including a new MacBook Pro with it’s first redesign in 4 years, as well as a new Macbook Air.
The new MacBook is said to be thinner and lighter with a wider, pressure-sensitive trackpad, available in the same 13 and 15-inch size options, and feature USB-C with USB 3.1 support for faster transfer speeds, Thunderbolt 3, and Touch ID.
This parts kinda crazy, so hold on to your britches – touch ID is expected to be built into a new OLED touch panel built into the top of the MacBook Pro, where it will replace the physical function key row. This panel is likely to feature contextual buttons that will change based on each app that’s in use.
A 13-inch MacBook Air with USB-C ports has been rumored plenty, but it is not clear if any internal changes will be made.
New iMacs are also rumored.
