With Apple reportedly planning to unveil new products on October 13, the company may announce an event as early as next Monday, October 5, but likely no later than Wednesday, October 7. Since 2010, Apple has held an October event just 10 times, with the most recent being the Halloween-themed “Scary Fast” event on October 30, 2023.
Bloomberg recently reported that Apple plans to unveil its long-rumored smart home hub, a new generation of the HomePod mini, and a new Siri AI-powered Apple TV 4K on Tuesday, October 13, though it did not specify whether the company will hold an event. Apple is also expected to announce an OLED iPad mini, new iMacs, and several new MacBook Pros, including touchscreen models, in 2026.
Looking back, Apple announced new Macs through press releases over three consecutive days in October 2024, while in October 2025, it unveiled the M5 chip alongside new iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Apple Vision Pro models without holding an event. Apple has only held a November event once, in 2020, when its “One More Thing” event introduced the first Macs powered by the M1 Apple silicon chip.
