As the days tick by in October, we’re all wondering the same thing: When is all that new rumored Apple hardware coming out? We might have the answer. Mark Gurman, Bloomberg claims that the first releases could arrive “in a matter of days.”
Gurman reported in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple plans to first launch refreshes for its customers iPad ProAnd iPad Entry-Level lines. The iPad Pro will look like the current models that haven’t changed since 2018 but bring more performance with an M2 chip. Rumours suggest that the new iPad Pros will feature MagSafe charging and wireless charging. However, the screen size and other specifications are expected to stay the same.
The new 10th-generation iPad is expected to have a much larger change. It will feature a 10.5 inch display with flat edges, USB-C, and a larger 10.5 inch display. There are conflicting rumors on how dramatic the redesign will be—it may lose the Home button altogether—and Gurman only says the new model will be “the most significant update to that line in several years.”
It’s not completely clear what Gurman means by “days.” Presumably that means the new devices will pop up on Apple’s website Tuesday or Wednesday morning—Apple rarely releases new products on Mondays. But they could arrive next week as well, which would still technically fall under “days.” Gurman does say that iPadOS 16.1 won’t arrive until the October 24, so even if iPads do land this week, they likely won’t ship until the following week.
Apple is also said to have a rush of new Macs, including M2 refreshes. Mini MacAnd Pros for MacBook Pros 14-inch and 16 inch.
