Apple plans Oct. 27 event for new Macs and iPads after smart home launch

Apple may hold an Oct. 27 event for new Macs and iPads after next week's smart home event, including a possible M6 iPad.

Android Authority said the earlier event is called “Welcome Home” and is scheduled for next week. The company is expected to show a new smart home lineup at that event. With the iPhone launch already finished and the smart home event about to take place, the Oct. 27 event would instead center on Mac and iPad products.

Citing Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Android Authority reported that the month-end event could include a 14-inch iPad powered by an M6 chip. The report also said an OLED-equipped iPad mini could appear. Those devices have not been announced by Apple.

The report places the Oct. 27 event after the smart home event and near the end of October. Android Authority wrote that October is shaping up to be a huge month for Apple. It said many of the year's big Android launches already feel like they are in the rear-view mirror, with attention increasingly looking toward 2027 for the next major hardware releases.

The report did not include pricing, availability, or a full list of devices for the potential Mac and iPad event. Apple has not publicly confirmed the Oct. 27 event or the products mentioned. The smart home event remains scheduled for next week, with expectations centered on a new smart home lineup.
