The end of the year is full of new things at Apple. The Apple firm has in fact made a habit of presenting new iPhones and accessories in September, and focusing in October on Macs and iPads.

2024 should be no exception to the rule, and several products are already being considered for the event. First of all, Apple would release a new generation of MacBook Pros equipped with the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Pro Max chips. Note, the base model would be entitled to a significant RAM boost.
The Mac mini would then make its comeback. Still stuck with the M2 and M2 Pro chip, Apple’s miniature computer would now use the M4… but not only that. Indeed, rumors point towards the arrival of a new, even more compact design. Small disappointment for some: the USB-A ports would disappear permanently, leaving room for USB-C.
The iMac would also be entitled to its refresh with M4 chip, barely a year after the release of the M3 generation. No other developments would be included for this new model.
A discreet change could still be on the horizon: USB-C accessories. In fact, the Magic Keyboard and the Magic Mouse are still stuck on Lightning. European legislation also requires Apple to make the transition to the universal port by the end of 2024.
In terms of tablets, two models would be on the program: the iPad 11 and the iPad mini 7. The first would switch to the A17 chip, against the A18 or the M1 for the second (and therefore Apple Intelligence). We would therefore simply be facing an update on the performance side.
Speaking of artificial intelligence, Apple could release its first Apple Intelligence functions from beta at its October conference. The latter would thus be available immediately via the iOS 18.1 update, but would still remain exclusive to Americans.
