Apple's rumoured October Mac launch reportedly includes an updated 24-inch iMac

Calling all Mac fans! So, there have been some differing rumours about whether Apple's going to have a product launch event this month or not. But now, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg says it's a go! And guess what? We might finally get a new iMac – the 24-inch one. Gurman's got some insider info, and he thinks it's ready to make its debut this month.

But that's not all – there's more! If we look at the supplies in stores and the shipping dates for some MacBook Pros, Gurman's got a hunch that we might be in for some fresh MacBook Pro models too. Exciting times ahead!

According to Gurman- “Apple retail stores are in short supply of the iMac, as well as the 13-inch MacBook Pro and high-end MacBook Pro — two other models that may be due for a refresh,” It’s interesting to note that there are shipping delays for these models as late as November. Adding to the mystery, Apple's earnings call this year is scheduled for November instead of the usual October. This timing hints that Apple might have something up its sleeve. The last time Apple posted its quarterly results in November was in 2018, and that followed an October 30 launch for new iPads and Macs. Gurman's has a theory that the launch event could happen on either October 30 or 31.

The 24-inch M1 iMac made its debut back in April 2021, and it's had no updates since then. Seems like a prime candidate for a little makeover, right? And it's not just the iMac. The 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro, which hit the scene in June 2022, is also due for some sprucing up. But here's the twist: there was no Mac news during Apple's big iPhone-focused event last month. They were all about iPhones, Apple Watch reveals, and updates for iOS, macOS, and watchOS. Based on past experience with Apple, they often save the Mac news for independent announcements, and they kinda have a thing for doing it in October. So, fingers crossed for some exciting Mac news soon!
