Apple announces iPad Pro and Mac event for October 30

The date is officially set for Apple’s second fall event: October 30 at the Howard Gilman Opera Housein New York City.


Apple officially announced the event details with the tagline “There’s more in the making” as a teaser, 9to5mac.com reports.

Apple already unveiled the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and Apple Watch Series 4 in September at its last big event. This time around Apple is expected to show off two redesigned iPad Pro models, a new MacBook, and likely other updates to the Mac line.

While we hope to see lots of Mac updates, the iPad Pro revision is all but certain. Event artwork includes a variety of designs centered around the Apple logo.

Apple’s second fall event is also not taking place at Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino like its previous event in September. This time Apple is hosting the show in Brooklyn at 10 am EDT (which means three hours earlier in the day than California events).

We expect to see two versions of the iPad Pro introduced this month: a new 11-inch size and a redesigned 12.9-inch size. This is going to be a huge upgrade for the iPad Pro.

Both models are expected to feature Face ID and the all-screen design with no notch, discontinue Touch ID, and maybe even change the Smart Connector and possibly replace the Lightning port with a USB-C port.
