Well, we can finally put a date to all the rumors about M4 Macs and the iPad mini 7. It’s all set for a November 1st launch.
Apple to Launch its Brand new M4 Mac Lineup Along with iPad mini 7 on the 1st of November
October is going to be a packed month for Apple. From the launch of iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.1 with Apple Intelligence all the way to a new lineup of M4 Macs and a few other things, expect a lot of noise.
In today’s newsletter by Mark Gurman, we finally have a date to when all the M4 Macs will be released along with a new iPad mini 7. The launch date is set for November 1, while Apple is expected to announce everything at the end of October.
Previously, it was said Apple is working on a refreshed iPad 11 as well, but since there’s no mention of it in the latest report, I’m going to assume the iPad 11 is not happening, or at least for a few months.
It’s highly likely Apple is going to keep the iPad 10 in the lineup for a while longer before giving it a refresh. This also means Apple wants everyone to spend a little extra money for Apple Intelligence features, too.
Apple is also said to announce the brand new iPhone SE 4 in the first half of 2025, alongside refreshed 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air tablets. We will also get a new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air, while a refreshed AirTag is also said to be launching in 2025.
Apple is also going to launch the new M4 MacBook Air in the first of 2025. Both 13-inch and 15-inch models will get the M4 upgrade at the same time.
This is going to be an extremely wild month when it comes to Apple releases since it involves everything else apart from iPhone. The M4 Mac mini is definitely going to be highlight of the show since it’s the only product that is getting a major redesign.
If you are in the market for a brand new MacBook Pro, it’s best to just hold your wallet back for a few more days. It’s best to spend your money on something way more recent rather than something that belongs in the year before.
Also, the iMac is also set to be getting a chip upgrade. Buyers of the iMac should hold back for a while as well.
