What to expect from Apple this October and beyond – Computerworld


A quick run-down of current Mac speculation:

  • MacBook Pro: 14- and 16-in. models, M4/M4 Pro/M4 Max chip, 16+GB RAM, 10-core CPU and GPU, three Thunderbolt 4 ports. 
  • Mac mini: Smaller than the current model, M4 or M4 Pro chip, no USB-A ports, five USB-C ports, an HDMI port, and perhaps an internal power supply.
  • iMac: No major design changes in the 24-in. all-in-one, and M4 processors.

Those Mac upgrades could be accompanied by new iterations of the iPad and iPad mini, both equipped with A18 processors capable of handling Apple Intelligence. For many enterprise users, the iPad mini upgrade may seem attractive. 

Current iPad expectation:

  • iPad mini: Big feature upgrades include Apple Pencil support and updated front and rear cameras, A18 chip, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3.
  • iPad (11th generation): A18 chip, new color options.

Apple watchers envision Apple Pencil support and a landscape front camera, which makes the iPad mini a good fit for deployment in stock control, field operations, industry, warehousing, and in-store ordering. Larger than an iPhone while remaining eminently portable, iPad mini could become a highly utilitarian device for many users. It seems likely to use an A18 chip and both new iPads will support Apple Intelligence. 

Not all of the devices Apple is expected to introduce will be available immediately. The new iPad, for example, might ship a little later.
