The next Apple occasion: Will we sight M1X MacBook Pros in October?

Updated 10/07/21:  The iPhone 13 and new iPads are out now and the Apple Investigate cross-check Sequence 7 is on the arrangement in which. Apple peaceable can also merely bear some merchandise to shriek this year, alongside side new MacBook Pros with Apple Silicon and more than seemingly new AirPods as nicely.

Apple doesn’t usually take part in wide industry-wide occasions worship CES or E3. Basically the most treasured company on the planet holds its obtain occasions, thanks very much. Loads of instances a year, Apple invites the clicking and industry consultants out to a theater to listen to all about its most contemporary merchandise and companies and products. Apple calls these “Special Events,” and streams them online to its thousands and thousands of followers.

There’s moreover WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day occasion within the middle of the year smitten by classes for builders, helping them invent potentially the most out of potentially the most contemporary Apple tools and merchandise. It kicks off with an infinite keynote that serves to shriek new merchandise (usually potentially the most contemporary versions of iOS and macOS, in addition to about a hardware merchandise).

Apple peaceable has about a merchandise left to unveil in 2021, so inquire the autumn to be handsome tantalizing.

Here’s a checklist of the occasions we inquire Apple to preserve within the the leisure of 2021, and what we inquire the company to shriek at every person. We’ll change this checklist at some stage within the year as we gather a clearer characterize of when Apple will resolve the stage and what this may perchance shriek.

October or November: MacBook Pro, Mac mini, AirPods

Apple on an everyday basis hosts occasions in gradual October or early November to round out the year with about a closing-minute product releases. These are usually new iPads or Macs—closing year’s occasion saw the discharge of the M1 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac mini—however there’s no motive Apple couldn’t shriek one thing crazy worship AR glasses at its obtain occasion later within the year. (We don’t inquire Apple to shriek AR glasses this year, however you never know.)

In 2020, the “October” occasion became digital and delayed a month to November, honest as the “September” occasion became. It presented the comely M1-primarily based entirely Macs. It’s too early to know whether or now now not Apple can bear an occasion in October this year, however with so many merchandise on the arrangement in which, it seems seemingly. Our finest guess is that Apple will preserve an occasion in October or November where this may perchance introduce the new MacBook Pros with the M1X or M2 processor, a brand new invent, and loads of new ingredients. We’ve moreover heard rumors of a brand new excessive-kill Mac mini with the same M1X processor arriving in gradual 2021.

Apple is moreover rumored to shriek new AirPods, changing the invent for the first time since they had been presented in 2016. We’ve heard that these “AirPods 3” (as of us usually call them) are on the verge of release repeatedly before, so don’t be stricken if it doesn’t happen again.

Developer-finest occasions

All year lengthy, Apple holds online digital developer occasions supposed to support builders invent the finest employ of Apple’s merchandise, application, and ecosystem. Examples from early within the year consist of “Constructing Vast Widget Experiences,” “Lift Your ‌iPad‌ App to Mac,” and “Constructing Vast App Clip Experiences.” 

Apple doesn’t shriek merchandise (hardware nor application) at these occasions, and there’s no prefer to point of curiosity on them within the occasion you’re now now not a registered Apple developer producing application for Apple merchandise. It’s persistently attention-grabbing to undercover agent what areas Apple feels it needs to bolster, then again. On this case, it seems the company doesn’t sight as much employ of Widgets, App Clips, and Catalyst as it will worship.

Awards and honors

Apple has given out app awards for years, however 2019 became the first time there became an valid ceremony for such. The Handiest of 2019 app awards had been held at a shrimp December occasion in New York, with mostly the nominated builders and a few press in attendance. It became now now not streamed online.

Furthermore for the first time in 2019, Apple held an awards ceremony for Apple Music. There became a live-streamed performance by Artist of the Year Billie Elish as piece of it, the occasion as a total became saved mostly to the music industry. In 2020, these occasions had been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Awards had been peaceable given, however there became no occasion. This year, Apple will certainly honor app builders and musicians with awards, however it with out a doubt’s too early to know if there’ll seemingly be an occasion around it or now now not.
