Bloomberg's Mark Gurman thinks Apple's announcements this week could arrive as a three-day rollout starting today. Writing on X, Gurman said that when Apple holds events on Wednesdays, it "increasingly does so following three days of announcements," adding that an OLED iPad mini today, M6 iMac and MacBook Pro updates on Tuesday, and a touch-screen MacBook Pro on Wednesday "would make sense."
Gurman is speculating rather than confirming Apple's scheduling, but he could have a point. His earlier reporting suggested the M6 iMac and 14-inch MacBook Pro arriving on Wednesday, with the touchscreen MacBook Pro also expected that day. Apart from Apple's Greg Joswiak's "Pro and Tell" hint last week, Apple has yet to make any formal announcements.
Gurman has also reported on other Apple plans. He said Apple made a "major mistake" by starting iPhone Duo pre-orders on Friday despite known "severe supply constraints" from manufacturing challenges, according to his Power On newsletter. Separately, Gurman reported that Apple's long-rumored smart home hub will have an iMac G4-style design, with a square 6-inch display that can sit on a countertop or mount on a wall, and a single FaceTime camera on the front.
Gurman also reported that Apple plans to introduce a new smart home hub, a new HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV on Tuesday, October 13. The HomePod mini and Apple TV are set to keep their existing designs but offer faster chips to support Siri AI.
