As the days tick by in October, we’re all wondering the same thing: When is all that new rumored Apple hardware coming out? Our answer may be as follows Mark Gurman from Bloomberg claims that the first releases could arrive “in a matter of days.” In a follow-up tweet on Monday, he reported that they will arrive on Tuesday morning.
Gurman reported in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple plans to first launch refreshes for its customers iPad Pro 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. The rumors are that the new iPad Pros may feature wireless charging and MagSafe charging. But the screen sizes, and other specs, are expected not to change. This includes the differences between the 12.9-inch model and the 11-inch model. Ross Young tweeted this messageDisplay Supply Chain Consultants
According to reports, the 10th-generation iPad will see a bigger redesign, featuring a 10.5-inch larger display, flat edges and USB-C. 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.” A Twitter user spotted a new case for the 2022 iPad in Target that shows the new tablet will support the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Only the current iPad can support the 1st generation Pencil.
Gurman’s follow-up tweet confirmed that “days” actually meant days and the iPads will arrive on Tuesday morning, likely at 8:30am ET. Gurman claims that iPadOS 16.1 won’t arrive until the week of October 24, so the new iPads likely won’t ship until next Friday, October 28.
Apple is also said to have a rush of new Macs, including M2 refreshes. Mac mini Pros for MacBook Pros 14-inch and 16 inch. They could arrive in MacOS Monterey next week or by land in early November.
