Trick or treat? Apple has 'Scary Fast' Halloween Eve product launch planned

Trick or treat? If you're a Mac lover, most likely the latter.

Apple on Tuesday announced a product showcase taking place the night before Halloween. The online event taking place Oct. 30 is dubbed “Scary Fast" which could be a reference to the new M3 Mac chip which is supposed to boost the performance of its computers. Also widely expected to make an appearance are new Mac computers.

The presentation is likely to be the last of the year for Apple.

The event is slated to take place on the company’s website and on video platforms like YouTube at 5 p.m. PST, an unusual nighttime booking for Apple.
