There are products waiting to be announced by Apple, it seems. So, when can we expect them, and will there be another big event this month? Here’s what’s known.
Updated Oct. 13 with further commentary about upcoming releases and more details of the release date and iPad Pro leak. Apple’s big event of the year took place in September, with the release of iPhone 17 series, iPhone Air, Apple Watch 11, Apple Watch SE3, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and AirPods Pro 3.
Time for a quiet moment following that activity, surely? But there’s more to come and it looks like a reliable source, AT&T may have indicated that the release of one of the new products is coming very soon. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has weighed in on what’s happening. Here’s what to expect, when.There are several products in the immediate pipeline, it seems, including an updated MacBook Pro. In fact, this looks like the most likely first release as stocks are short of some models in Apple Stores, it seems. And a video has also been released claiming to show the new model.Soon after, it seems, there could be an update to the iPad Pro line, last refreshed in May 2024. Reports suggest that both MacBook Pro and iPad Pro will be cosmetically unchanged from the last updates, and the focus will be on upgrading the processor to the latest M5 processor .” This does not mean that Apple will lead with the iPad Pro necessarily. I think the focus will be on the chip first and all it can do, justifying its presence in the new MacBook Pro, alongside the iPad Pro and Vision Pro. So, will there be an October event? Apple has regularly held these in addition to the September shindig, but it’s not a given. Two years ago, a “Scary Fast” event was held in New York City on October 30, to unveil the iMac and MacBook Pro models. But last year, Apple unveiled the iPad mini by a Newsroom announcement on Oct. 15 followed by a new iMac on Oct. 28, Mac mini on Oct. 29 and MacBook Pro on Oct. 30. That’s a lot of products, but there was no special event. I believe Apple will take the same route this year, with a series of announcements on apple.com/newsroom. Gurman has a similar opinion. “I’m expecting a number of new products to be introduced in this latest wave — with the announcement coming online, rather than through a flashy event on Apple’s campus,” he said.If Macworld is right and M5 is coming to MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Vision Pro, then the timing may match last year’s, beginning as soon as next week. Apple likes Tuesday and Wednesday for such announcements, so look out for products to be unveiled at around 8 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Oct. 14 or Wednesday, Oct. 15, or both. Another indication of the immediacy of these announcements, or one of them at least, comes from an unexpected source: AT&T. As spotted by Joe Rossignol aton Saturday, Oct. 11, the iPad page on AT7T’s website includes references to a completely unannounced iPad. The text, which has now been removed, was pretty clear: “Shop Apple iPad Tablets: iPad Pro M5 Pre-Order Soon,” it said. Beneath this, it said, “Shop Apple iPads, including the new iPad Pro M5, and get the best prices and deals at AT&T.” There was no date attached but it tells us several things: Apple will likely call the new model iPad Pro M5, which is in line with current naming procedures, and that there’ll be a pre-order period which will go live some time after Apple’s announcement is made. Please check back as I’ll update this post as things become clearer.
