Apple may not be doing a formal product event this October, but Apple SVP Greg Joswiak is teasing a “week” of Mac announcements starting on Monday morning.

Rumors have been swirling about announcements of updated Macs. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has been all over them, saying in an early October Power On newsletter that Apple was planning to announce a suite of Macs powered by M4 chips as well as a refreshed iPad Mini — though that has since been announced.
M4 Macs would make sense; Apple first announced the M4 chip alongside new iPad Pros in May, so we’ve been expecting the chip to show up soon in Apple’s computers. The lineup of M4-equipped computers coming soon could include a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, high-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, a new iMac, and a new Mac Mini. That new Mac Mini might also get a redesign that could make it close in size to an Apple TV.
Russian YouTubers have also posted videos with what look to be MacBook Pros with M4 chips, which could be further evidence that Apple is set to release them soon.
Last year, Apple hosted a “Scary Fast” Mac launch event on Halloween, where it revealed its M3 chips and computers that would use them.
