Apple is scheduled to host its 'Scary Fast' event on October 30, where it will see fit to announce new Macs with an M3 chip. The new M3 chip will be based on TSMC's 3nm process and could feature blazing-fast computational and graphical performance. A new report suggests that Apple will also announce an updated Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse with a USB-C port as it finally moves away from Lightning. However, could Apple change the awkward position of the charging port?
Apple will launch a new Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad with a USB-C port at its 'Scary Fast' event.
Apple's Magic Mouse currently features a charging port at the bottom, making it impossible for users to charge the accessory and use their computers simultaneously. Users have complained about the design flaw for years, and Apple has not fixed it. Since Apple is looking to introduce the new USB-C standard on the Magic Mouse, it remains to be seen if the company will introduce a unique solution to charge the accessory.
Apple introduced USB-C on the iPhone 15 lineup last month, and the company has since been updating its existing products and accessories. Last week, Apple introduced a new version of the Apple Pencil with a slidable cap at the back for USB-C charging. Apple also upgraded the AirPods case with a USB-C port, and the company is on a roll to update its entire accessory lineup.
Apart from the Magic Mouse, Apple also plans to bring USB-C to its Magic Trackpad and the Magic Keyboard. With the latest changes, users would only require a single charging solution for a wide range of Apple products. The news was shared by Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, suggesting that Apple will move away from Lightning for good and adopt the new USB-C standard for its accessories.

Besides accessories, Apple is expected to unveil its brand-new MacBook Air, 24-inch iMac, and potentially the 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 chip. While the MacBook Air models will feature the same design, the company could announce the 24-inch iMac and 13-inch MacBook Pro with design tweaks and new color options. However, the new M3 chip will remain the event's highlight, bringing significant gains in CPU and GPU performance.
It was previously reported that Apple's 'Scary Fast' event will focus on high-end games for the Mac. Apple could be about to change gaming on the Mac with its new M3 SoC. The iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro chip features support for ray tracing, and it could finally come to the Mac. We will be covering the event extensively, so be sure to stick around.
