Apple is reportedly getting preparations for an October event even if the September event is now “Far Out of Sight.” This time, the business will concentrate on the fresh Macs, iPads, and their approaching operating systems, macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 respectively. Here is what we currently know.
Since a while ago, 9to5Mac has been claiming that Apple is developing the next iPad Pro and the 10th-generation iPad. Additionally, the business is getting ready to deliver a few new Macs in 2022. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg also shared a few details about what he believes Apple will unveil soon in his Power On newsletter.
New iPad Pro will be unveiled by Apple during its event in October.
According to 9to5Mac sources, Gurman’s statement that he “would expect a revised iPad Pro with an M2 processor” in this August’s newsletter is accurate. Apple intends to add the MagSafe connection to these tablets with two models: the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with miniLED technology and the 11-inch iPad Pro with LCD display.
Additionally, this device may soon have new accessories and a longer battery life. All eyes will be on the new iPad Pro at this expected October presentation, just as the iPhone 14 will be the centre of attention during the Apple event in September.

Here is what we currently know about the iPad Pro 2022.
The largest update to the iPad in a decade will come with the 10th generation.
For its less expensive iPad, Apple has been working on more major changes. According Apple information obtained by 9to5Mac, the forthcoming 10th-generation iPad (codenamed J272) will have a USB-C port rather than a Lightning connector. This indicates that Apple will finally add USB-C support to all of its iPad models.
Entry-level iPad users will be able to quickly and simply connect their devices to more contemporary external screens, like Apple’s Studio Display, thanks to USB-C. Additionally, according to our sources, the next entry-level iPad will include a Retina display with a similar resolution to that of the iPad Air. A small screen expansion to 10.5 or 10.9 inches is to be anticipated. The more costly iPads will continue to be the only ones with more current display specifications, such as a wide colour gamut with DCI-P3 and better brightness.
Gurman agrees with 9to5Mac and states that the A14 Bionic chip will be used in this tablet. Additionally, Apple may want to unveil this tablet at an event in October.

Here is what we currently know about the tenth-generation iPad.
There will be new M2 Macs during the October Apple Event.
I believe we’ll likely see at least a pair of those devices in approximately two months because Apple has been working on M2-based versions of the Mac mini, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro.
These computer-related rumours are nothing new. Apple has already stated that a new Mac Pro is in the works. According to Bloomberg, new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max CPUs may be unveiled in the fall of 2022 and the spring of 2023, respectively.
Not to mention, a second-generation Mac mini made of Apple silicon has been anticipated for at least a year. Since Apple just released the Mac Studio, it’s unclear whether a new Mac mini would merely contain the M2 or a more potent version of the chip.

Between fall 2022 and spring 2023, M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro are anticipated by Gurman.
What is known about Apple’s intentions for the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR is listed below.
Gurman: Expect no redesign when the M2 and M2 Pro processors for Mac mini are released.
Mixed reality headset from Apple
For the past year, there have been more and more rumours regarding the Apple Mixed Reality Headset. Apple may use the term “One More Thing” from Steve Jobs during its October announcement to hint at its impending Mixed Reality headset.
According to current rumours, it could debut as soon as this year’s end and begin selling in 2023. The Apple event in October may be the ideal time for the business to announce to the public that it is entering a new market.
Making sense of the most recent reports around Apple AR and Mixed Reality headsets
Gurman: The release dates for iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura are slated for 2023, and Apple is building three headsets under the name “Reality Pro.”
While the firm has scheduled the release of iOS 16, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16 for September 12, it has scheduled the release of iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura for October, most likely following this alleged event.
The most significant Stage Manager function is one of several similarities between iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura. This feature allows you to:
Windows has the ability to be resized to the ideal size for your task;
App centre: Pay attention to the app you’re using without going full screen;
Quick access to programmes and windows
Your active apps’ windows are prominently shown in the centre, while other apps are organised on the left side in reverse chronological order;
cross-over windows:
Create overlapping windows in a single view that are varied sizes to give you the flexibility to construct your ideal workspace;
Put apps in one group:
To create app sets that you can always return to, drag and drop windows from the side or open apps from the Dock.
When is Apple’s October event taking place?
Information on the exact date of Apple’s October event is currently lacking. When the event approaches or when we learn more about what Apple might reveal at this keynote, 9to5Mac will be sure to update this post.
