M4 MacBook Pro, new iPad 11, and iPad mini 7 to appear at October Apple event?

Already rumors and leaks strongly suggest that Apple may announce a new M4 Mac, an iPad Mini 7, and a new iPad (11th generation) at the October event And now we have the clearest information from our sources

I am of course referring to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who repeats this claim in his latest newsletter We have already prepared a detailed hub on what to expect, but to catch up with a little TL;DR, the following is what should be launched

It is strongly rumored that a new MacBook Pro with the M4 from the iPad Pro will be announced along with the M4 Pro and M4 Max variants, just like the Scary Fast event at this time last year

Along with this, the iMac is also likely to be equipped with the M4 Turbo Most interesting, however, is that a completely redesigned Mac Mini may be on the horizon This would make the Mac Mini even smaller (like the pack-sized device that comes with the Apple TV 4K)

And finally, we conclude with an update on the iPad series The new iPad Pro and iPad Air were introduced earlier this year, and now it's the turn of the iPad mini and the lower-priced iPad to get the same treatment

Since these will be spec upgrades, no major design changes are expected; for the iPad mini, this could mean a new display chip that will solve the current model's jerry-scrolling problem Along with that, this particular chip may be upgraded to the A18 found in the iPhone 16, which will support Apple Intelligence

The most curious part of Gurman's report, however, is about the new iPad 11 - ie, he refers to a “new, low-end iPad” The fact that he said it in the plural here could mean a lot My two conclusions to this are:

If the latter, this could be one of the best inexpensive tablets you can buy right now
