Apple is hosting ‘It’s Glowtime’ event today where it will unveil a slew of new hardware but it won’t be its last event for the year, as the brand is expected to unveil the iPad Mini 7, M4 Mac Mini, M4 powered MacBook Pro and iMac in October at another launch event. Here’s everything to expect from Apple next month.
As per a report by Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the iPad Mini 7 is expected to debut at an Apple event set for October. iPad Mini hasn’t been updated since 2021 and the new Apple iPad Mini 7 could bring an improved display with a changed direction of its assembling to help reduce the jelly scrolling effect which users complained of in iPad Mini 6.
Despite this improvement, the iPad mini 7’s display could still run at a 60Hz Refresh Rate, have the same size as iPad Mini 6, and use LCD screen technology. The tablet could also retain the same design as the 2021 iPad Mini. In addition, the next-generation iPad Mini will feature a more powerful processor for improved performance. Rumours suggest it could be the A17 or the A18 chip so the tablet could run Apple Intelligence AI features. The iPad Mini 6 packed the A15 Bionic processor so A17 or A18 in iPad Mini 7 could be a huge leap forward in terms of performance.

Gurman adds that Apple will also launch new Mac models at the October launch event. One of these new models will reportedly be a Mac Mini powered by Apple’s M4 Chipset which is currently present only in the iPad Pro. The M4 Mac Mini will have a much smaller body than the current M2-powered Mac Mini model.
Finally, the MacBook Pro and the iMac will also be updated with the M4 processor next month. Apple debuted the MacBook Pro and iMac with M3 family of chips last year in October end. The M3 MacBook Pro models remained largely similar to their predecessors in terms of design and specs, except for the chip upgrade and the new space black finish.
