There are still a couple days left this week.
They said there would be three announcements this week and this is the third
They did? The tweet that announced stuff from the head of marketing did not mention 3 days.

That said, I believe you. Some press gets a hands-on on Wednesday (today) so unless they plan to pre-announce something (unlikely) or announce software only stuff, I think today is it.

"This is a huge week for the Mac, and this morning, we begin a series of three exciting new product announcements that will take place over the coming days," said Apple's hardware engineering chief John Ternus, in a video announcing the new iMac.
Ah, thanks. I was referring to last weeks Tweet. I didn’t watch the iMac video.
That's disappointing. I was expecting a new Apple TV because mine needs replacement and I don't really feel inclined to get one that's due for an upgrade very soon.

Also, Studio and Pro are hanging there.

The current-gen Apple TV is already overpowered for what it does, and extremely nice to use. I can think of very few changes I would like to see, and most of them are purely software.
I really wish it had some way to connect USB storage directly.
They could, at least, lower the price.
There really isn't a chance they'll update the same product twice in a week.
They haven't officially updated it. They just discontinued the smaller model.
It would make more sense to discontinue the smaller model along with some other updates to the line. Or in other words, Air won't receive any other updates this week unfortunately.
It also helps differentiating Airs and Pros. The Studio and the Pro are the odd ones this round.
Given that the Mini and iMac have received support for one more additional external display (at 60Hz 6K), I hope we’ll see the same on the MBA M4.
