Apple to Unveil New M4 Macs and iPad Mini 7 on November 1: Gurman

We’ve already heard rumors that Apple’s next hardware event will take place in October, where we’ll get to see new Macs and other products. In thelatest Power-On Newsletter, Mark Gurman has revealed the potential release date of Apple’s fall hardware event. According to the report, Apple will announce the new M4 Macs in late October, with some of them expected to ship on Friday, November 1.

Apple is likely to refresh its MacBook Pro lineup, with a low-end14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4processor, and a higher-end14-inch & 16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.As speculated earlier, Apple will launch anall-new Mac Mini in M4 and M4 Pro variants.Interestingly, the upcoming M4 Mac Mini is expected to mark the first major redesign of Apple’s most compact desktop computer in 14 years. Also, Apple’s all-in-one desktop, an iMac is likely to receive an update with an M4 processor.

Besides five new MacBooks, two new Mac Minis, and an iMac, Apple is expected to shower some love on its most portable iPad lineup.An iPad Mini 7is also on the horizon, with an expected early November release date. The new iPad Mini is anticipated to make a debut with performance upgrades andApple Intelligence features.

It’s worth knowing that Gurman’s latest newsletter doesn’t have any mentions of the entry-level iPad. So, it means the iPad 11 refresh isn’t happening in 2024. This also makes sense as many other analysts have also predicted that iPad 11 won’t arrive until early 2025.

Interestingly, Gurman also outlined Apple’s hardware launch plans for the first half of 2025. Here’s what we can expected:

Gurman also mentioned that high-end desktop upgrades are also in Apple’s pipeline, but they will take a little longer to arrive. M4 Mac Studio and M4 Mac Pro are already in development, but they will ship later. The Mac Studio is slated for a mid-2025 release, with the Mac Pro arriving at the end of the year.
