Wondering how to watch the October 2023 Apple event? Rumor has it that the Cupertino-based tech giant has plans to release new MacBook Pro models as well as the next-generation iMac.

Apple is hosting a livestream billed “Scary Fast,” but what’s interesting is that it’s during a non-traditional hour. However, if you’re a tech enthusiast like myself, or you simply want to watch the livestream everyone’s been gushing about on social media, check out the information below to find out how to watch it.

How to watch the October Apple event

You can watch Apple’s “Scary Fast” livestream three ways:

In my experience, Apple’s official website is typically a second or two ahead of the YouTube livestream.

What time is the October Apple event?

Apple’s “Scary Fast” livestream is on Oct. 30 at 5 p.m. PDT. And no, that is not a typo. For the first time ever, Apple is hosting a nighttime event, feeding into the Halloween vibes.

For your convenience, here are the start times for the Apple October 2023 event for other parts of the world:

  • Mountain Time: 6 p.m.

  • Central Time: 7 p.m.

  • Eastern Time: 8 p.m.

  • Rio de Janeiro: 9 p.m.

  • London: 1 a.m.

  • Berlin: 2 a.m.

  • UTC: 12 a.m.

As you can see, this is a late start for almost everyone. Some will be getting ready for bed – and others will already be in bed.

What to expect from the October Apple event

According to Bloomberg’s Gurman, the Apple October 2023 event is expected to reveal three MacBook Pro models: the 13-inch MacBook Pro, 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro. We also may see a new iMac.

Rumor has it that the Apple AirPods Max headphones are getting an upgrade in 2024.

While we’re eagerly anticipating the launch of speculated new features such as new colors and a USB-C charging port, we also know that these headphones have never been known for being cheap, especially when it comes to launch time. That’s why it’s worth considering scooping up the 2020 model while it’s on sale. As of Oct. 27, Apple AirPods Max headphones are on sale for $449.99 in a My Best Buy members-only deal. This takes $100 off the list price, bringing the cost down 18% from $549.99.

If you’re not already a My Best Buy member, you can sign up today in order to take advantage of the deal. There are different membership tiers to choose from: My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total. A yearly Plus membership will cost you $49.99, while a yearly Total membership will cost $179.99. Both plans give shoppers access to members-only deals, and one plan does not receive more savings than the other. Instead, the Total plan offers members 24/7 tech support, VIP member support, and 20% off all repairs. If you signed up for a Plus membership at checkout with your Apple AirPods Max purchase, you would still save $50.

Whether you’re already a My Best Buy member or you’re just signing up, score a pair of Apple AirPods Max at this low price today before the savings ends.
