Apple’s September iPhone keynote may be behind us, but the company isn’t done with product launches for 2025. Industry analysts and multiple leaks suggest that Apple is preparing an October event, where the spotlight will shift from iPhones to iPads, Macs, and accessories. While the Cupertino tech giant has yet to officially confirm the date, sources point to mid-to-late October for the presentation.
iPad Pro with M5 at the Center
The most talked-about product expected at the event is a new iPad Pro powered by Apple’s latest M5 chip. Early reports indicate slimmer bezels, improved performance, and enhanced multitasking with iPadOS 19. If true, this would mark Apple’s biggest iPad refresh in two years.
Vision Pro Refresh on the Horizon
Apple is also rumored to unveil an upgraded Vision Pro headset. The refresh could include an M5 processor, improved RAM, and a better external battery pack, addressing concerns from early adopters. Analysts believe this could be Apple’s move to keep momentum in the mixed-reality space amid growing competition.
Other Possible Announcements
Several other devices are rumored to make an appearance:
- Apple TV 4K with the A17 Pro chip for faster gaming and streaming.
- AirPods Pro 3, expected to feature improved noise cancellation and better battery life.
- A new HomePod or smart home device, possibly with a built-in display.
However, Mac hardware remains uncertain. Some reports suggest that new MacBook Pro models with M5 chips may not arrive until early 2026, leaving iPads and Vision Pro as the stars of this year’s fall event.
Event Timing and Format
If confirmed, the October keynote will likely follow Apple’s standard format: 10 a.m. PT livestream from Apple Park, available on Apple’s website and YouTube. Some smaller product updates may also be announced via press releases.
What to Expect
Unlike September, where iPhones dominate headlines, October events are traditionally reserved for Apple’s “next wave” of products. This year’s lineup could give a glimpse into Apple’s long-term strategy for iPads and spatial computing.
For now, Apple enthusiasts will have to wait for the official word. But if the rumors hold true, October 2025 could be another big month for Apple fans.
