[ Gearbest Technology News]Although Apple’s annual iPhone conference has come to an end, the latest rumors show that the company plans to launch multiple new products before the end of the year. Looking back at recent practices, Apple will hold October launch conferences in 2021 and 2023, while new products will be released through press releases and short videos in 2022 and 2024. Will there be an event in October this year? Current signs point to a higher possibility.
According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, the iPad Pro equipped with the M5 chip is expected to be released this year. If the timetable is accurate, the October conference is very likely, because M1 to M4 chips were all unveiled at the conference. In addition, the Vision Pro head display is also expected to be updated to the M5 chip this year.

Apple TV: May be equipped with A17 Pro chip, support next year's upgraded version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence, and support WiFi 7.
HomePod mini: It may be equipped with S9 or newer chips, support an upgraded version of Siri, improve sound quality, and add new colors such as red.
AirTag: The tracking range is increased to 3 times that of the current version, the speaker is tamper-proof design, and supports low battery reminder.
MacBook Pro: Models equipped with M5 series chips may be released in early 2026 instead of October this year.
Studio Display: The new model equipped with mini-LED backlight is expected to be launched in late 2025 or early 2026.
Gurman did not mention the rumored low-cost MacBook powered by the A18 Pro or A19 Pro chips, which is also expected to debut in late 2025 or early 2026.
Generally speaking, if Apple holds an October event, it will focus on updating iPad Pro, Vision Pro and smart home devices, but major upgrades such as MacBook Pro may have to wait until next year.
