Now that the iPhone 16 is available, the media is getting a little more interested in the next new products from the Cupertino company. Indeed, it has been rumored for a while that Apple will organize another keynote this October to present new Macs and new iPads. And in his latest newsletter, Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, who is usually a well-informed source, published the list of new products that Apple should launch before the end of the year, as well as the new products that would arrive in the first half of 2025.

According to Gurman, here are the products that should be announced during the event this October (the journalist specifies that at least one of these products could be available as early as November 1):
- An entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M4 chip
- New top-of-the-line MacBook Pros with 14-inch and 16-inch displays, and M4 chips
- New Mac minis with a new design and available with either the M4 chip or the M4 Pro chip
- A new iMac with M4 chip
- A new iPad mini
Otherwise, for the first half of 2025, here is the list of products that Apple is reportedly planning to release:
- M4 MacBook Airs with 13-inch and 15-inch displays
- The new iPhone SE
- New iPad Airs with 11-inch and 13-inch screens
- New Magic Keyboards for these new MacBook Airs
- A new version of the AirTag
In his newsletter, Mark Gurman specifies that new Mac Studio and Mac Pro are also in development. But this development would take a little more time.
Apple: towards a new strategy
In any case, according to the Bloomberg journalist, a change of strategy would be underway at Apple. In essence, the firm would now tend to launch a new product when it is ready, or not to release a new product if it has not yet been finalized, instead of imposing an annual rhythm.
Moreover, Apple would have already started to deviate from its old strategy by presenting new iPads in May, or by launching new Macs and the new HomePod in January 2023. Furthermore, Mark Gurman also recalls that Apple presented new MacBook Airs in June 2023.
This new approach would be easier to manage for Apple, which has accustomed us to big launches in the fall.
Apple Intelligence would arrive on October 28
Otherwise, Mark Gurman's newsletter also mentions the release of Apple Intelligence. As a reminder, this new feature is not yet available on the stable version of iOS 18. But it will be deployed on compatible models via the iOS 18.1 update. And according to Gurman, this update would arrive on October 28. Unfortunately, this launch does not concern iPhones and iPads used in the European Union. Indeed, in the EU, Apple is subject to additional rules that it will have to comply with before offering Apple Intelligence on iOS and iPadOS (macOS is not affected by these rules).
