Apple is expected to host another special event in October this year to unveil new Mac and iPad models. This would mark the fourth such event in the past five years. Last year, Apple held a virtual event on October 30th to introduce the new MacBook Pro and iMac models powered by the M3 series of chips.
In his Power On newsletter earlier this month, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that Apple will hold an October event this year to announce new iPads, including an updated iPad mini, along with the first Macs with the M4 series of chips.
“There are also new iPads in the works, including an upgraded mini version,” he wrote. “They’re on deck for Apple’s October event alongside the M4 Macs.”
Apple plans to announce updated 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips in the coming weeks, according to Gurman.
Apple also plans to update the iMac with the M4 chip in the coming weeks… Gurman expects the Mac mini to be updated with M4 and M4 Pro chips in the coming weeks, and he said the desktop computer will be redesigned to become nearly as small as an Apple TV.
Rumored features for the next iPad mini over the previous model include a faster chip, upgraded front and rear cameras, a fix for “jelly scrolling” screen tearing in portrait orientation, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support, and new color options.
