Today Apple announced their next event called “Unleashed” which will be a virtual event. The event will be on Monday October 18 at 10:00am PDT. It will be broadcasted live from Apple Park like all other Apple events.
This Apple event is rumored to only focus on the new Macs and the new Apple Silicon chips. Previous rumors suggested that Apple is planning to launch the all new redesigned MacBook Pro which will come in two new sizes, 14-inch and 16-inch. Apple is also planning to unveil the new Mac Mini.
The new MacBook Pro models are expected to have a completely new design. They will also have more I/O ports like the HDMI port and SD Card Slot. There are also rumors of the MagSafe charger returning to the MacBook. The new MacBook Pro will also have thinner bezels with large displays. The resolutions of these displays have been leaked in Xcode. 3024 x 1964 for the 14-inch and 3456 x 2234 for the 16-inch. The new MacBook Pro is also rumored to include the new M1X chip which will be more powerful than the M1 chip. The name for the new chip was leaked when Apple included M1XMacBook Pro in their tags for the WWDC 21 keynote.
AirPods 3 might also make an appearance at this event. AirPods 3 has been rumored to come out for a long time now and we even saw leaked hands on images of the product from factories. It’s possible that it might come but it’s probably more likely to come in a press release down the road. The new AirPods 3 are rumored to have shorter stems and a new design similar to the AirPods Pro. They will also have a new wireless charging case.
Finally, Apple will give us a release date for macOS Monterey which was unveiled at WWDC 2021 with a ton of new features.
