Report: New Apple products such as iPads already this week

Apple may be on the verge of a new “Week of Products”: According to a Report Bloomberg will present the “rest of the autumn pipeline” in the coming days. A separate keynote event is therefore not to be expected. Instead, there will be an online presentation. It is conceivable that the company will proceed in the same way as last year: At “Mac Week” in October 2024, Apple had presented new hardware models per day, this ran in the form of short videos of 10 to 15 minutes in length. Apple introduced the Mac mini M4, MacBook Pro M4, and iMac M4 at the time. It could start as early as Tuesday, but possibly not until Wednesday. On Monday, Columbus Day is a public holiday in the USA.

What hardware could come

According to Bloomberg, at least three new products are planned. These could be the new iPad Pro M5, which had already been leaked in parts, a MacBook Pro M5 (without Max and Pro models, which are expected in the spring) and a Vision Pro 2. There are still smaller updates to come: a new Apple TV 4K with a faster chip and possibly an integrated camera for the first time, as well as second-generation AirTags. New HomePods and HomePods in the mini variant are also considered possible, but there have been fewer rumors about this recently – as well as about a long-awaited “Home Hub”.

Also in the pipeline are new entry-level iPads and a new iPad Air (two variants) as well as new monitors and a MacBook Air M5. However, we haven’t heard anything about the iMac M5 and Mac mini M5 for a long time. It is conceivable that all these devices will not be released until March. The rumor mill has also not said anything about an entry-level MacBook with 12 or 13 inches for a long time, just like about a Mac Pro M5. If Apple acts as it did at “Mac Week” last year, product priorities will be set. It is conceivable that small-scale announcements will be made in parallel via press release.

Notes from the FCC

The US communications authority FCC had previously leaked some new devices, including a new Vision Pro, a MacBook Pro M5 (probably 14 inches) and iPad Pro M5. In Russia, on the other hand, an unboxing video of the iPad Pro M5 had surfaced – including Geekbench benchmarks. Meanwhile, the website of the US mobile phone provider AT&T also contained Indications of a new iPad.

In addition to the short videos, Apple is also likely to prepare a press event after (or on the last day) of the presentation, as it did last year. The company said goodbye to live keynotes during the Corona period, and since then has only played videos, even when journalists are on site in Cupertino. At last year’s “Mac Week” there were initially only videos.
