Apple holds occasions at specific periods in the year at which it reveals brand-new items. The business tends to hold a March or April spring occasion, the WWDC keynote in June, an occasion to commemorate the brand-new iPhone launch in September, and a late fall occasion in October at which it hasactually been understood to release brand-new iPads and Macs. The business has even held an occasion as late as November 10 (in 2020 when it revealed the veryfirst batch of M1 Macs).
Apple presented the brand-new iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4 at an occasion on September12 Has the business completed launching brand-new items for 2024? No! We believe there are more brand-new items to come and we might see brand-new Macs and iPads at an Apple occasion in October 2024.

Over the years Apple hasactually held numerous 2nd fall occasions in October (and assoonas in November). It hasactually released brand-new Macs, iPads, and AirPods at these occasions.
