New report reveals details on the three M3 chips Apple may launch Monday night

Apple is planning to debut three M3 chips at its “Scary Fast” Mac event Monday night, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman — the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max. The event is set to kick off at 8 PM ET and is expected to bring multiple hardware announcements. Gurman previously reported that the company is prepping a new 24-inch iMac which could make an appearance tomorrow, along with upgraded MacBook Pros running the new M3 series.

In the Power On newsletter, Gurman writes that the standard M3 chip is likely to sport an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU like the M2, but with improvements to performance speed and memory. He also notes the company is testing multiple configurations for both the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips. We may see an M3 Pro with 12-core CPU/18-core GPU and the option for a pricier 14-core CPU with a 20-core GPU. Meanwhile, the M3 Max could come with 16 CPU cores and either 32 or 40 GPU cores.

We won’t know anything for sure until Apple’s unusually-timed October event starts tomorrow night. Thankfully, that’s not a long time to wait. Join us here to watch as it all unfolds.

Josh Peck Very Well Could've Been Twilight's Edward Cullen

Apple's upgraded 2nd-gen AirPods Pro with USB-C are $50 off right now

Apple’s refreshed second-generation AirPods Pro are down to just $200 on Amazon in a discount almost as good as we saw during October’s Prime Day event. The deal cuts $50 off the normal price of $250. The second-generation AirPods Pro got an upgrade in September that brought improvements to durability and a USB-C port for charging the MagSafe case more conveniently, replacing the Lightning port. While the price could dip down even lower as Black Friday approaches, this is one of best deals we’ve seen as of late.

The upgraded second-generation AirPods Pro have an IP54 rating for better dust resistance than their predecessor. They also received new audio features with the release of iOS 17 that further improves upon the listening experience, including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Personalized Volume. The second-generation AirPods Pro get up to six hours of battery life, with up to 30 hours using the charging case. Even before the upgrade, we counted them among the best earbuds you can get today.

Apple also introduced lossless audio with Apple Vision Pro for the refreshed second-generation AirPods Pro, which buyers will get to appreciate once they finally have the headset in their hands. Otherwise, the AirPods Pro are a top choice for use with the Apple ecosystem of devices, with features like active noise cancellation and an impressive transparency mode. At $200 right now, they’re only $10 more than they were going for on Prime Day.

If you’re looking for something with fewer bells and whistles, Apple’s third-generation AirPods are discounted too. Right now, they’re just $150 on Amazon.
