The iPhone 16 launch event may not be Apple's last major product announcement of 2024 iPhone 16 is arguably the most important new product lineup, but that doesn't mean we should forget about the new iPad and Mac Apparently, Apple may announce several new models during October

This information comes from the latest issue of Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, and according to Gurman, Apple will announce more hardware at some point next month, including a redesigned Mac Mini, M4 MacBook, and A new iPad of some sort should be unveiled at that event

There were rumors that the iPad mini 7 might appear at the Glowtime event alongside the iPhone 16 However, given that the new AirPods, including the redesigned AirPods Max, the Apple Watch 10, and possibly the new Apple Watch Ultra will also be announced at Glowtime, Apple will not have much time to talk in detail about the new iPad

Gurman did not mention many details, but given that he refers to “iPad models,” it is possible that one or more new tablets will be introduced next month It is unlikely that this will be the new iPad Air or iPad Pro; the new models were already released earlier this year However, it has been several years since Apple released a new entry-level iPad, and the 10th generation model will arrive in late 2022

Some rumors suggest that the iPad mini 7 may feature an 87-inch OLED display, and Gurman speculates that the new tablet may support Apple Intelligence The amount of RAM may jump from 4GB to 8GB There are rumors that, combined with the right Apple chipset, it could bring Apple AI to an even wider audience

As for Macs, we have already heard rumors of a redesigned Mac mini that will do away with the traditional USB-A ports in favor of USB-C and a new M4 chip; Gurman also mentioned the possibility of a new iMac and MacBook Pro Apple may also announce more powerful M4 chips at the event, including the M4 Max and M4 Pro

We will have to wait and see what happens at today's Glowtime event before we can start speculating in earnest about a possible Apple event in October Nevertheless, it makes a lot of sense not to get too excited about Glowtime In the meantime, you can follow live coverage of tonight's Apple event on our Apple Glowtime Event Live blog - or tune in live with our guide on how to watch Apple's Glowtime event
