The iPhone 16 launch event may not be Apple’s last big product announcement of 2024. The iPhone 16 is arguably the most important new product line-up, but that doesn’t mean we get to forget about new iPads and Macs. Apparently Apple could end up unveiling some new models sometime in October.
This comes from Mark Gurman, in the latest issue of his Power On newsletter. According to Gurman, Apple will be announcing more hardware some time next month, an event that should see the launch of a redesigned Mac Mini, M4 MacBooks and brand new iPads of some kind.
Gurman doesn’t offer much in the way of details, but the fact he says “iPad models” suggests that we could see more than one new tablet next month. It’s unlikely that this would be a new iPad Air or iPad Pro — new models were already released earlier this year. However it has been a couple of years since Apple released a new entry level iPad, with the 10th gen model arriving in late 2022.
As for Macs we’ve already heard rumors about a redesigned Mac mini, which could scrap the traditional USB-A port for USB-C and come powered by the new M4 chip. Gurman also mentions the possibility of a new iMac and MacBook Pros. Odds are that Apple will use this event to launch higher performance M4 chips as well, including the M4 Max and M4 Pro.
We’ll just have to wait and see what happens at the Glowtime event today before we can really start speculating about the possibility of an October Apple event. Though it does make a lot of sense not to overstuff Glowtime. In the meantime you can follow the live coverage of tonight’s Apple event in our Apple Glowtime event live blog — or tune in live with our guide on how to watch Apple’s Glowtime event.
