Apple October Event 2024: After an exciting September reveal of the iPhone 16 lineup at the “It’s Glowtime” event, along with updated Apple Watches and fourth-generation AirPods, Cupertino-based Apple is expected to host another product launch event at the end of October this year. .
Apple is expected to unveil 4 new products at its MacBook and iPad launch event later this month. However, an official invitation from Apple confirming the date and time of the event is still awaited.
In particular, the long-awaited event is suggested to be dedicated to Apple Silicon M4 chips for Mac. It is speculated to include an updated iMac, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and more. In addition to the new Macs, Apple could also introduce a much-needed update to the iPad mini along with possible design changes.
Here’s a list of products Apple could unveil at its October event:
iPad mini with A18
The technology giant could present a new iPad model: the iPad mini. It is expected to be powered by the A18 chip with 8GB of RAM, the same chip that powers the iPhone 16 and supports Apple Intelligence. Additionally, the iPad mini, Apple’s smallest tablet, is likely to gain support for the new Apple Pencil Pro, currently available with the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro models.
Additionally, another anticipated update is an increase in base storage, going from 64GB to 128GB, improving its overall performance and user experience.
MacBook Pro M4:
The device is expected to feature a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, along with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. It will likely come with a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, with ProMotion technology and a sharp resolution of 3024×1964 pixels.
In terms of design, the device shares many similarities with its predecessor, the MacBook Pro with M4 chip. Its dimensions are said to be 1.55 x 31.26 x 22.12 cm and it weighs 1.6 kg.
For connectivity, the MacBook Pro M4 is rumored to include three USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, a MagSafe 3 port, a headphone jack, an HDMI port, and an SDXC card slot.
iMac M4:
The device is expected to receive a significant update this month with the addition of Apple’s latest M4 series chipset. Additionally, the new iMac could come equipped with 16GB of RAM, doubling the 8GB of its predecessor, potentially to support improved Apple Intelligence features.
Additionally, the device could come accompanied by updated versions of the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Keyboard. These accessories are expected to move from Lightning to USB-C ports, in line with Apple’s recent shift to USB-C across its entire product line, including the latest iPhones.
Wi-Fi 7 support with iMac M4
Apple is expected to integrate Wi-Fi 7 support into the upcoming iMac M4. Wi-Fi 7 can deliver speeds of up to 46 Gbps, far exceeding Wi-Fi 6E’s maximum of 9 Gbps.
The device could also use 320 MHz channels and operate in the 6 GHz band, reducing interference and improving signal quality. This update will offer users faster and more reliable Internet connectivity, ideal for streaming, gaming and other data-intensive activities.
