Apple Planning Two Product Events in October, Report Says

Apple is reportedly planning more than one product unveiling this month. According to MacRumors, as reported by 9to5Mac, the company expects to announce a second round of new products in the last week of October.

The report follows an earlier claim from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that Apple will hold an event on October 13. Gurman said that event would include the long-rumored smart home hub with a screen, a new HomePod mini, and an updated Apple TV. It was unclear whether Apple would hold a live event or release the products via videos and press releases.

The second wave of announcements, according to MacRumors' sources, would come after the expected October 13 event. The report does not specify which products will be unveiled or whether a second event will be held.

Other products previously expected from Apple include an OLED iPad mini, an updated iMac, and a touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, but it is not confirmed they will appear in the second wave.

Apple also has the iPhone Duo launching on October 23 and its quarterly earnings report due before the month ends, making October unusually busy for the company.
