Soft murmurs in the tech circles for quite a while stated that Apple was finalizing plans for a special event this month, and finally, a reliable source has added fuel to the murmurs. Famous Bloomberg journalist and leaker Mark Gurman thinks that Apple might hold its launch event in late October, and exciting products are set to release, especially one long-awaited by all – Apple Intelligence. Let's dive into the expected timeline, products, and details surrounding this big release.
Apple October Event Timeline and Expected Products
Mark Gurman has once again hinted that Apple is probable to host its next major event towards the end of the month. No confirmed date has emerged, but for one, last year's fall event was hosted on October 30th. If all these rumors are true, we might be seeing some of these products hitting the shelves as early as November 1st.
Expected products at the event:
Low-end MacBook Pro M4 (14-inch)
High-end MacBook Pro M4 (14-inch and 16-inch)
Upgraded Mac Mini (M4 or M4 Pro)
iMac M4
New iPad Mini
Notably absent from the list is the highly anticipated 11th-generation standard iPad, which fans were hoping for this year.
What’s Coming in 2025?
Gurman has also made some juicy predictions for the lineup we might see in the next year. Focusing for now on the October event, it is always fun to speculate what Apple has up its sleeve down the line. Expected in 2025 are:
MacBook Air M4 (13-inch and 15-inch)
iPhone SE 4
iPad Air (11-inch and 13-inch)
New Magic Keyboards

Further down the pipeline, we might even see a Mac Studio M4 by mid-2025, new Mac Pros, the iPhone 17 series, and M5 Macs in the latter half of the year.

Among all this product news, perhaps the most exciting is that of Apple Intelligence, which may reach the markets with iOS 18.1 on October 28th. The much-awaited AI update will be said to come with features that will make your Apple devices smarter than ever.
