An Apple October event is reportedly not happening, but that doesn't mean October isn't a large period for caller Apple products.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman precocious reported that it is “unlikely” we'll spot an event (opens successful caller tab), with Apple alternatively turning to property releases to herald immoderate caller arrivals successful October.

And determination should surely beryllium a batch to announce, if rumors astir Apple's merchandise pipeline are to beryllium believed. Even aft a September that saw caller iPhone 14 models, the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra and the AirPods Pro 2, we reckon determination are plentifulness of Macs, iPads and bundle updates that request to spot the airy of time earlier vacation buying picks up excessively overmuch steam.

Here's a speedy look astatine what whitethorn beryllium successful the cards for Apple during October, which figures to beryllium a precise engaged period for Apple, adjacent without a standalone merchandise event.

Apple October products latest rumors (Updated Oct. 9)

• A caller Apple TV 2022 could motorboat successful October, and MacRumors breaks down the apical expected caller features, including a faster spot and little price. 
• The Prime Day October 2022 deals statesman aboriginal with $400 savings connected MacBook Pro 14-inch laptops (opens successful caller tab), a terms driblet that comes suspiciously adjacent to an expected October merchandise for caller models of some the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
• Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports determination volition beryllium no Apple October event adjacent arsenic Apple moves guardant with launching caller iPads and Macs this month. The quality whitethorn travel via property release. 

iPhone 14 Plus

We already cognize what 1 of the archetypal products Apple volition merchandise this period is going to be, and we won't person to hold precise agelong to spot it. The iPhone 14 Plus, announced alongside the remainder of the iPhone 14 models, hits stores connected Friday (October 7). You tin preorder the telephone now, taking vantage of immoderate of the iPhone 14 deals to little the outgo of the $899 plus-sized handset. As of this writing, Apple estimates an iPhone transportation date betwixt October 11 and 13, if you pre-order an iPhone 14 Plus.

The iPhone 14 Plus shares the 6.7-inch surface size arsenic the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but different offers the aforesaid diagnostic acceptable arsenic the modular iPhone 14 model. That includes an A15 Bionic chipset, a main camera with a bigger sensor to fto successful much airy than the iPhone 13 did and an improved beforehand camera with autofocus and a wider aperture. Because the iPhone 14 Plus is bigger than the modular iPhone, we'd ideate that its artillery is bigger, too. Hopefully that volition assistance this last iPhone 14 exemplary articulation the iPhone 14 Pro Max connected the best telephone artillery life list.

MacBook Pro 14- and 16-inch with M2

The Apple M2 chipset, the next-generation mentation of Apple's self-designed silicon, appeared earlier this year, erstwhile it debuted successful the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro. More M2-powered hardware is astir surely connected the way, and we expect Apple to usher successful further MacBook Pro options featuring this chipset. 

More specifically, we mightiness spot Pro and Max variants of the M2 spot wrong immoderate caller MacBook Pro models. The M2 spot itself is simply a 5-nanometer spot with an improved neural engine. The Max and Pro versions would diagnostic much transistors portion boosting the fig of CPU and GPU cores. 

Don't expect important hardware changes, astatine slightest not based connected the rumors we've heard. But it's imaginable that bundle improvements similar Center Stage could connected beryllium connected pat of Apple's latest MacBook Pros.

M2 Mac mini

It's been 2 years since the Mac Mini became 1 of the archetypal Macs to tally connected Apple's M1 chip. With the M2 present out, this monitor-less desktop Mac whitethorn beryllium successful enactment for a long-awaited upgrade.

The astir apt script has the Mac Mini 2022 getting the caller M2 spot and that being the grade of the upgrades. That said, earlier successful the year, a somewhat fanciful rumor talked astir the anticipation of a much compact plan with much ports than before. We're not definite however overmuch credence to lend to that forecast, but we won't entity if that's what Apple does.

iPad Pro 2022 and iPad 2022

Rounding retired imaginable October 2022 Apple hardware releases that could tally connected updated Apple silicon is the iPad Pro 2022 tablet, past updated successful the outpouring of 2021. This clip around, Apple is apt to crook to the M2 spot for some the 11- and 12.9-inch tablets.

Other imaginable additions to the iPad Pro could beryllium wireless charging and a caller Smart Connector connected the broadside of the tablet. Early rumors had talked astir the imaginable summation of a notch to the iPad Pro's show arsenic mode of shrinking the bezels, but astatine a clip erstwhile the iPhone 14 Pro models person ditched their notch for a chill and utile Dynamic Island feature, this would look similar a backward step.

Also support an oculus connected Apple's modular iPad. The 10.2-inch iPad is inactive moving an older chipset, truthful it could basal to spot immoderate upgraded internals. That doesn't mean an M2 spot is bound for this iPad similar it is connected the Pro models. Instead, we could spot a much humble leap to the A14 Bionic. (The existent exemplary uses an A13.)

iPadOS 16

Here's different October merchandise that Apple has already confirmed — close aft it said that the iPadOS 16 bundle update wasn't going to get astatine the aforesaid clip arsenic iOS 16's mid-September release. Instead Apple is targeting October for the adjacent large update to the iPad's operating system, giving it much clip to tinker with caller features.

Besides the iOS 16 features already disposable to iPhone users since September, iPadOS 16 brings Stage Manager, a caller multitasking tool, to prime tablets. With Stage Manager, you get a disposable dock for easy accessing apps and you tin resize app windows similar you would beryllium capable to connected a Mac. Originally slated for conscionable M1-powered iPads (and presumably M2 models erstwhile they arrive), Apple has broadened enactment for Stage Manager retired to 4 older iPads.

iOS 16.1 

As mentioned, iOS 16 already shipped, but arsenic is contented with Apple, not each diagnostic went unrecorded astatine launch. Live Activities — lock-screen widgets that relay up-to-the-minute info arsenic it changes — didn't look successful iOS 16, but they are portion of the iOS 16.1 beta. Once that update ships — astir apt this period — Live Activities volition beryllium ready, too. Hopefully, iOS 16.1 besides introduces a hole to the artillery problems immoderate upgrades person cited.

macOS Ventura

There's 1 last portion of bundle that needs to travel retired this fall, and that's macOS Ventura. The latest mentation of Apple's Mac bundle is besides targeting an October release, Apple has said.

With macOS Ventura, Macs summation immoderate of the updates recovered successful the equivalent iOS apps. You'll beryllium capable to stock Tap Groups successful Safari arsenic you tin successful iOS 16, and you tin edit substance messages aft sending them, too. Mail gets improved search, and Apple's effort to regenerate passwords with Passkeys includes the Mac arsenic good arsenic the iPhone and iPad.

Stage Manager is portion of the macOS update, and a Continuity Camera diagnostic turns your iPhone into a webcam for an further space connected video calls.

Apple's October outlook

We're not saying each of these launches volition happen, though galore — the bundle releases positive the iPhone 14 Plus — are already confirmed. It conscionable goes to amusement that Apple doesn't request a dedicated lawsuit to inactive person a batch going on.
