Islamabad, Oct 15: Apple October Event 2024 M4 Macs, iPad Mini 7th Generation, and More
It is expected that Apple will have a launch event in October, possibly to unveil the MacBook Pro and iMac models of the upcoming generation.
A preview of what may be shown has been given in recent months by leaks pertaining to the M4-powered Macs; however, the precise date of the event and the complete device lineup are still unknown.
With the arrival of Apple’s most recent iPads and iPhones, people’s focus has turned to the new Macs, which should launch before the end of 2024. Apple’s October events usually center around Macs and its Apple Silicon processors, based on historical trends.
There are rumors that the business will launch a number of products this year, such as upgraded iPad Minis, iMacs, and new MacBook Pro models. A peek at what could be revealed during the forthcoming event is as follows:
M4 MacBook Pro
It is anticipated that the upcoming MacBook Pro models would come in two sizes: 14-inch and 16-inch, with very little design variation from earlier iterations.
The new models, which have 16GB of RAM and are equipped with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max CPUs, should bring about a lot of benefits, particularly for activities involving artificial intelligence.
M4 iMac
Apple is also anticipated to introduce new hardware to its iMac lineup. The new iMacs may keep the same design, but they will probably run on M4 chipsets, which include a 10-core CPU and can increase speed by up to 25% over M3 versions from the previous year.
In addition, these iMacs might have updates to the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad in addition to 16GB of RAM for improved performance, particularly in AI activities.
iPad Mini 7
Apart from the iMac and MacBook Pro, Apple might release a new iPad Mini model. It is rumored that the A18 chipset, which powers the iPhone 16, will power the iPad Mini 7. It might have 64GB or 128GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and new features like support for the Apple Pencil Pro. Improved Apple Intelligence features like the new Siri, Genmoji, and Image Playground may also be included in the iPad Mini.
M4 Mac Mini
Additionally, a revised Mac Mini with improved specs is anticipated from Apple. The M4 and M4 Pro CPUs, in conjunction with 16GB of RAM, may power the upcoming Mac Mini. Three additional USB-C ports may be included for enhanced connectivity.
These expected devices imply that major performance enhancements across the Mac lineup, with an emphasis on AI capabilities and improved hardware, will be the main attractions of Apple’s October presentation.
