Apple October 2024 Event: M4 MacBook Pro, iPad Mini And More Expected

Apple’s highly anticipated October 2024 event is expected to showcase several significant updates, including the introduction of the M4 MacBook Pro, iPad Mini 7, and more.

The M4 MacBook Pro lineup will feature both 14-inch and 16-inch models powered by the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips. These new laptops promise enhanced performance, particularly for users engaged in demanding applications like video editing and software development. Notably, Apple is expected to eliminate the 8GB RAM option, making 16GB the new baseline for these models. This change aligns with Apple’s growing emphasis on AI-driven features like “Apple Intelligence”【8†source】【9†source】.

The iPad Mini 7 is another key highlight. The last update to the iPad Mini came in 2021, making this a long-awaited refresh. The iPad Mini 7 will likely feature slimmer bezels and maintain its 8.3-inch LCD display. Apple is expected to address the “jelly scrolling” issue seen in the previous model. While it probably won’t adopt the M-series chips, it might be equipped with the A17 or A17 Pro, which would significantly boost its performance, making it compatible with Apple’s advanced AI capabilities【8†source】【9†source】. Other anticipated updates include enhanced cameras and increased storage, starting from 128GB【9†source】.

Apple is also planning a redesigned Mac Mini. This model will feature the new M4 chip, with M4 Pro options for more demanding users, in a significantly smaller form factor, possibly comparable to the Apple TV. Additionally, the iMac may receive a simple upgrade to the M4 chip, although design changes are unlikely this year【9†source】.

Other possible announcements include a spec bump for the 11th-generation iPad and potential updates to the Apple TV 4K, with new storage options and possibly an A15 chip【10†source】. Apple’s October 2024 event promises a wide array of product enhancements that will excite both professionals and casual users alike.
