This article comes from the official Wechat account: CTOnews.com Wechat (ID:ithomenews) with the original title, "what, Apple's next launch has been cancelled?" But there will still be new products. "by Yu Zai.

Hello, friends of CTOnews.com, I'm Yu Tsai.

Apple held its first fall special event on September 8, releasing the iPhone 14 series, three Apple Watch and AirPods Pro 2.

According to earlier news, Apple will hold its second fall special event in October, which will usually bring new tablets and Mac and other products.

However, the latest rumors say that all this is likely to change.

According to Gurman, Apple may decide to release new products through a press release on its website, while the second event in the autumn of previous years was not available this year.

At the pace of Apple's product launches, new products that debut in October generally focus on the iPad and Mac series.

Both iPad and Mac are very important products in the digital circle. If nothing else, most of the related products can occupy a few days of hot search.

If Apple releases new products only through press releases rather than conferences, that attention is bound to be greatly reduced.

It is inconceivable to give up this opportunity to be in the limelight.

For this rumor, netizens launched a heated discussion.

Some people disagree: Apple has done this before.

Some people see through everything: does it mean that there is too little new content to hold up the press conference?

There are also crazy complaints: it seems that the appearance is the same, that is, the ordinary iterative upgrade processor.

Yu Zai feels that the truth is likely to be put on the shelves as netizens think, because there is no change.

If it's just a pure core change, there's really nothing to say. Preheat it up in advance and let everyone get the money ready.

However, while the Gurman revelations have always been accurate, since Apple has not yet announced it, it cannot be called a certainty.

And when it comes to setting off smoke bombs, Apple's "six" skill points are already full.

So today, Yu Zai is still on a plate of new products that may be released in October.

IPad 10 as the entry model in the iPad product line, although the configuration of the iPad digital version is slightly shabby, but the price is also relatively low, which is enough for people who do not pursue productivity and only pursue dramas.

With a starting price of 2499, what other bicycles do you need?

The new entry-level iPad--iPad 10, which will be launched in October, has changed a lot compared to the iPad 9.

In terms of design, large frames and big jaws will continue to be used.

However, the side will be changed to a flat design and the FaceTime camera will be repositioned.

At the same time, the back lens module will use a more prominent cylinder rectangle, which means that the rear camera will be upgraded.

In terms of size, the BWH is 248mmx179mmx6.98mm, which means the fuselage will be lighter and thinner than the previous generation.

The screen will also be upgraded to a larger 10.5-inch display with a Retina display with the same resolution as the iPad Air screen.

As for the chip, it will be equipped with A14 bionic chip to support 5G network.

In terms of configuration, the Lightning port will be replaced with the USB-C port, and the 3.5mm headphone Jack will be removed.

As a result, both Lightning and 3.5mm headphone jacks will be dead in the iPad product line.

Overall, iPad 10 uses the original iPad Pro 10.5 mold, but does not give a full screen; uses the power key Touch ID, but still has the home key.

Although there is an upgrade, there are still pain points, which is still the product of Cook's precision.

But considering the price, Yu Zai feels beyond reproach and insists on the point that can be criticized, that is, it is not fully suited to the screen.

IPad Pro as the big brother in the iPad product line, iPad Pro is the representative of productivity.

However, judging from the revelations, the new iPad Pro is just a regular iteration and is upgraded in three ways:

First, the chip is updated from M1 to M2.

According to official data given by Apple, M2 increases CPU performance by 18% compared with M1 GPU performance by 35% and AI performance by 40%, while memory bandwidth increases by 50%.

Second, support wireless charging.

The new iPad Pro will use the back of the glass to enable wireless charging; in addition, it is possible to add reverse wireless charging.

Third, equipped with a new interface.

The new iPad Pro will be equipped with new "four-pin connectors at the top and bottom edges" that can "help power peripherals connected to Thunderbolt / USB-C ports on the iPad Pro".

In addition, there is news that the camera will also be upgraded, but the details are unknown, but the camera for the tablet, the opportunity to use is limited.

Thus it can be seen that the new iPad Pro does not have too many surprises to speak of, the place of upgrade is expected, and it will be labeled as "squeezing toothpaste".

But it's not hard to understand: on the one hand, the iPad Pro 2021 is already easy to play; on the other hand, Apple may launch a higher-end 14-inch iPad next year.

Unfortunately, the only new products Apple is sure to release in October are the iPad 10 and the new iPad Pro.

Assuming that there are only these two products in the end, it makes sense for Apple not to hold a press conference.

Surely an old man will ask, have you eaten the Mac mini, Mac Pro and the new Macbook Pro?

It is reasonable that they should be released in October, but recently there has been a lot of news suggesting that they may be late.

However, considering that there are many friends concerned, Yu Zai will talk about it in general.

Mac mini's current information about the new Mac mini is limited and conflicting.

Some people say that the new model only has a pure white color, the glass top cover design, the appearance is much smaller than the cash.

However, some people say that they will adopt the same design as the cash, and there will not be any major redesign in the short term.

As for the chip, Apple has been working on the M1 Pro version, but the latest news shows that Apple will go directly to M2 or M2 Pro.

As a result of the big increase in the price of the chip, the price is estimated to rise by $100.

As Apple's only Mac product that still uses intel chips, it's time for the Mac Pro to take on a new look.

However, considering the relatively complex design of Mac Pro, it is difficult to determine the update cycle.

Previously, the new Mac Pro was expected to be equipped with M2 Ultra and a new "M2 Extreme" chip, but recently Gurman said it would skip the M3.

If it is equipped with M3 chip, it will not be released until next year.

Macbook Pro has no doubt that the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro will have built-in M2 Pro and M2 Max chips.

Compared with M1 Pro and M1 Max, better chip performance and energy efficiency will be obtained.

However, according to the usual practice, the release of new chips must be held, and new products with new chips will be released either on the same site or later.

From this point of view, it is highly unlikely that the new Macbook Pro will be released in October.

Unless the M2 chip universe is too hip-pulling, it won't even have the layout introduced in the press conference, is it?

So it's wise for Apple not to launch a new product in October, just for the sake of two iPad, and there's no need to bother recording.

Apple's arrangement makes it boring, but it also creates suspense invisibly. After all, there is nothing new this time, which means that all the good things are behind.

It is only a matter of time before a new product is designed and produced, and the later it is released, the more mature the product may be.

Let's just be patient and see what Apple will do in October, and then see what the pace will be.
