Although there will probably not be an event this time, Apple will come with a number of new products in October. We give you an overview of what you can expect this month.
New Apple products in October 2022
Since there will be no Apple event this month, the new products will be announced via a press release. That does not mean that you should lower your expectations. We are assuming no fewer than five new Apple products in October.
1. MacBook Pro
For example, a new MacBook Pro will be released this month. We don’t think the design will change, but the performance will get a big boost thanks to the new M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. These chips are mainly aimed at better graphics performance. These are the suspected specs:
- M2 Pro: max 10-core cpu, with max 20-core gpu and max 48 GB RAM.
- M2 Max: max 10-core cpu, with max 40-core gpu, and max 96 GB RAM.
2. M2 Mac mini
We also expect a new Mac mini with an M2 chip this month. Here too we do not assume changes in design, but in terms of performance. We also expect a Mac mini with an M2 Pro chip. These are the first new models since the release of the most affordable Mac in November 2020: the M1 Mac mini.
3. iPad Pro
Another product with an M2 chip that we still expect is a new iPad Pro. Unlike the new MacBook Pro and M2 Mac mini, there will be some design changes with the new iPad Pro.
Bloomberg initially reported that the new iPad Pro would have a glass back, making wireless charging possible for the first time. But recently it was reported that instead of a full glass back, there will probably only be a larger glass Apple logo on the back. Wireless charging is therefore still possible.
4. iPad 10
In addition to an iPad Pro, there will probably also be a new entry-level iPad this month: the tenth generation iPad. Here too we expect changes to the design. The new iPad 10 would have narrower bezels around the screen and for the first time no longer has a home button. Thus, Touch ID is built into the power button. Furthermore, the Lightning connection is replaced by USB-C, and the tablet gets an A14 chip and 5G support.
5. Apple TV
We will probably also see the A14 chip in one of the other new Apple products this October and that is Apple TV. In addition to a faster chip, the new Apple TV will probably also get more RAM and a new Siri Remote. In addition, it is also rumored to be cheaper.
And further …
We are still waiting for a new Mac Pro with Apple Silicon. Apple started the transition to Apple Silicon in November 2020 and was expected to complete it within two years. That means the deadline is November this year. However, according to Mark Gurman, it is unlikely that a Mac Pro will appear this year. But maybe we can expect a pre-announcement.
