Gurman: Apple’s second fall event that will focus on both new Macs and new iPads

Following Tuesday’s “streaming in California” event, where Apple will unveil the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7 and AirPods 3, Apple is planning another event that will focus on the new Mac and iPad announcements. seconds Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.

Responding to a query about new Macs, Gurman he tweeted that “there will be two events,” and said he hoped the latter would include new Mac models and new iPads. In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Gurman said the second event will take place in the coming “weeks”.

With several Apple product lines expected to incorporate new additions this year, there had been speculation about how many events Apple will have left over from 2021. The predictions had been fueled even more by the fact that the year Apple last held three separate events during the months of September, October, and November. However, 2020 was hit by the global health crisis, which saw Apple hold exclusively digital events for the first time and the announcement of the iPhone 12 was delayed in October.

In 2021, the pandemic has not been so important for Apple, and the company returns to its September calendar to announce the new ‌iphone 13‌. In addition, Apple’s event in November 2020 dealt exclusively with the first Apple Macs running on silicon, and while the company is expected to announce redesigned MacBook Pro models this year, they will share prominence with the new iPads in a single combined event.

Apple is working on an updated version of the MacBook Pro that will have 14- and 16-inch size options. It will have thinner bezels, a larger screen and a redesigned chassis. It will use a new “M1X” chip that will be an upgrade to the M1 and will mark the return of MagSafe connectivity via USB-C. Apple also recovers the HDMI port and SD card slot. According to Gurman, Apple has also been working on a new version of the Mac mini that will feature an M1X chip.

As for the iPads, there is a new version of the low-cost “iPad‌” in development, and Apple has major changes to the iPad mini 6 store, which is expected to be updated with a full design. Like the iPad Air, it will have no home button and could include a Touch ID power button.
