Apple made substantial releases during the It’s Glowtime September event, but sources now indicate that it may not be the only showcase it has this fall season, with another one on the way. Following Apple’s event launch dates in previous years, October has been the month for the corporation to reveal new Macs and eventually make them accessible.
It is also natural that Apple will have an event in the coming month, especially since the current M4 series chipset was debuted with the iPad Pros in April, and it is now time for the Macs.
Apple is preparing for an October event for Macs
The iPhone 16 series and new Apple Watches may be in the spotlight right now, particularly while the world waits for Apple Intelligence. Nonetheless, indications indicate that Apple will hold a computer-focused event in October. Rumors have been circulating about Apple’s next event, but no official dates have been revealed by Cupertino as of press time.
Apple has previously scheduled its October announcement events between mid-October and the end of the month, and last year it was noted for timing it around Halloween.
However, the only years when Apple did not have an October event were 2017, 2019, and 2022, thus this event is still a 50-50 likelihood.
M4 Macs Are Coming; Here’s What to Expect
According to numerous claims and predictions in recent months, three Apple products are expected to be unveiled in October, which is still being confirmed. First, there would be an update to the MacBook Pro with three M4 chip variations, followed by a revamped Mac mini that was supposed to be around the size of an Apple TV 4K.
Finally, there are anticipation that Apple will equip the iMac with the M4 chip, despite the fact that an M3 version was released last year.
Apple Rumors: New M4 Macs
Analysts and speculators have doubled down on Apple’s plans for the future of the M4 and its availability for Macs, particularly when evidence such as supply chains and other claims suggest that Cupertino is preparing for this year’s release.
However, one key prediction from Mark Gurman stated that it would not be a massive decline in 2024, as only a few models will be released this year, followed by 2025.
The MacBook Pro is expected to be released this year, and reports suggest that it will feature three varieties of the processor, as in past years, with a base M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. Aside from that, this year will see the debut of a Mac mini and iMac with the SoC upgrade.
The Apple iPad Pro used the M4 chipset, which provided users with a considerable experience. Still, the Cupertino tech behemoth has yet to confirm this improvement for the Mac line. October is approaching, and many people are expecting Apple to announce its upcoming event, whether early this month or late, as it did last year, which took place on Halloween.
