"Apple waits and takes the time to get things right"... except when it doesn't. This just looks bad. No-one was screaming for the M3.

Snapdragon X Elites has expedite the process

  This actually gives me hope that new snapdragon will be good if it pushed apple to release m3 early

    There's no way Apple rushed to release its new processors and MacBooks because of a Qualcomm processor that won't ship until mid-2024

      Also, a scripted, pre-recorded, Halloween-themed event was not rushed in response to a Qualcomm event less than a week prior.

      Hence the "if"

I've purchased a few Mac's over the years that were one major version behind. This is somewhat common based on how frequently they release major OS revisions. It's not the end of the world.

  As an mac/iOS user, I find it embarrassing that Apple's entire new flagship CPU line cannot run its newest OS. It's a bad look.

    It can run the latest OS, it’s just that the update flow isn’t working. If you download the installer from the store and run it, it works.

      Apple is all about it "just works". Flagship product, flagship OS, "the flow isn't working". Hm.

        well tbh the system does work. it will boot and be just fine and i'm sure 99% of users won't even realize they're a version behind. these days the differences are pretty minor so there are not a lot of capabilities a person would miss out on.

        > i'm sure 99% of users won't even realize they're a version behind The people clamoring for launch day or early access to the latest model "won't even realize"? I'm going to agree to disagree on that one. They'll realize at first boot and the very different login screen (especially if they're upgrading from a previous Mac).

        The last 3-4 versions of MacOS have been virtually identical on the surface. I don’t think you’re correct.

Different business units working on separate products to be released at a launch event that was no doubt scheduled before either was done. Normal and a delay for one model doesn't strike me as a strong reason to scrub the announcement of either.
