Apple introduced three new home products today, but the October announcements aren’t over yet. Rumors suggest there will be another “event” on October 27, plus we’re still waiting for the iPhone Duo. Here’s everything we hope to see released or announced in October. October 16: iPhone Duo pre-orders begin. October 23: iPhone Duo launches. October 27: MacBook Pro with OLED touchscreen, 14-inch MacBook Pro M6, iMac M6, iPad mini OLED October 30 or earlier: Release of iOS 27.2, iPadOS 27.2, macOS 27.2, and other 27.2 updates. October 30: HomePod mini 2 launches, iPhone Duo launches in more countries. End of October: Mac Studio comes out with 512 GB of RAM. Apple is rumored to be holding content creation sessions in Los Angeles on October 27 and 28 to show off the new Macs and the iPad mini OLED. As with the “Welcome Home” announcement, we may find out about the new devices through a press release, with an in-person event for content creators and members of the media to try out the new products. The new Macs will debut in October, but won’t ship to customers until November. With an announcement on October 27, pre-orders could be placed that same day and the launch could follow on November 6. Apple’s OLED MacBook Pro is the product to watch because it will be Apple’s first touchscreen Mac and the first redesign of the MacBook Pro since 2021. The new MacBook Pro will be lighter than the current version and will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.
