Apple is gearing up for an exciting phase in its product lineup. After a thrilling mega launch event in September, showcasing the iPhone 16 series, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4, the tech giant has more surprises in store for fans. According to renowned Bloomberg analyst Mark Gurman, Apple is poised to host a second major launch event later this month, and it promises to be a blockbuster.

Mark Gurman reports that on November 1, Apple will officially unveil several new products including the much-anticipated M4 MacBook Pro models, a revamped Mac mini, a refreshed iMac, and an upgraded iPad Mini. This event is expected to spotlight the cutting-edge power of M4 chips, which are gearing up to take Apple’s computers to the next level in terms of performance and efficiency.

In detail, Apple is expected to unveil: - A 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M4 chip (codenamed J604). - High-end models of the MacBook Pro in both 14-inch and 16-inch variants (designated J614 and J616). - A revamped Mac mini equipped with either M4 or M4 Pro chips (J773). - An updated iMac featuring the M4 chip (J623). - A refreshed iPad Mini (J410) that promises new capabilities and enhancements.

What to Expect in Early 2025

The excitement doesn’t stop there! Gurman shared insights about Apple's upcoming products slated for release in the first half of 2025. This includes: - New 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models featuring M4 chips (J613 and J615). - Updated iPad Air models in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes (J607 and J637). - New Magic Keyboards designed for the updated iPad Air lineup (R307 and R308). - An upgraded version of AirTag, the popular item finder accessory (B589). - The much-anticipated iPhone SE (codename V59) is also expected to make its debut.

Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on a new Mac Studio and Mac Pro powered by M4 chips, though these may not be available until later in 2025. Gurman hints that the Mac Studio launch may align with mid-2025, while the Mac Pro could appear in the latter half of the year. The future is bright for Apple, as we can also expect to see the next generation of iPhones, the iPhone 17 family, and new models of Apple Watch by late 2025, alongside the release of M5 Macs.
