Rumors suggest that these last two weeks of October for Apple will be busy with new iPad Pro models, a trio of software releases and more. Below we’ve rounded up the latest information on Apple’s upcoming announcements.

  • iPad Pro: BloombergMark Gurman expects updated 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models to be announced “within a few days.” New features rumored for the device include the same M2 chip found in the MacBook Air and MagSafe wireless charging support. No major design changes are expected.
  • iPad: The entry-level 10th-gen iPad is expected to have an all-new design with a larger 10.5-inch display, a USB-C port, and flat edges. Other rumors suggest there will be an A14 Bionic chip, 5G support for cellular models, and possibly a Touch ID power button. The device could be announced this month alongside the new iPad Pro, but the launch timing is a little less certain for that device.
  • MacBook Pro: The next-gen 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are “on track to launch in the near future,” according to Gurman, but he doesn’t expect them to be announced alongside the new iPad Pro will. Gurman says Apple has often released new Macs in November in recent years, like the original 16-inch MacBook Pro in 2019 and the first Macs with the M1 chip in 2020.
  • Mac mini: An updated Mac mini with an M2 chip is rumored to be in development, but a release date remains uncertain.
  • Mac Pro: Gurman now expects the next Mac Pro to launch in 2023, with the M2 Ultra and M2 Extreme chip options.
  • AppleTV: A new Apple TV could launch before the end of 2022, according to Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Rumors include an A14 chip, more 4GB of RAM and possibly a lower price. There were also code-level references to a new version of the Siri Remote in the iOS 16 beta.
  • iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura: According to Gurman, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura are scheduled to be released the week of Monday, October 24th. iPadOS 16 is referred to as iPadOS 16.1 due to its delayed release.
  • iOS16.1: Apple will likely release iOS 16.1 on the same day as iPadOS 16.1 since the updates share the same build number.

With Apple apparently not planning an October event this year, the new iPad Pro models and other releases will likely be announced with press releases from Apple Newsroom. Additionally, Apple’s software engineering chief Craig Federighi and marketing chief Greg Joswiak will likely be discussing iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura when they meet with tech columnist Joanna Stern at the WSJ Tech Live event on Tuesday, October 25. speak.
