Apple didn’t let the mystery hang around for very long. On the evening of the iPhone 14 keynote, the manufacturer announced the launch of the final versions of iPadOS 16 (which will actually be iPadOS 16.1) and macOS Ventura for the month of october. There are still two weeks left for Apple to keep its promises, with a date that is beginning to become clearer: it would be around October 24.
Coincidentally, or probably not, Mark Gurman tells us learn that Craig Federighi, the big boss of software engineering, and Greg Joswiak, the big boss of marketing, are invited to a conference Tech Live from Wall Street Journal on… October 25. A priori, they will not come empty-handed.
If we are of course waiting for the new operating systems for tablets and the Mac, on the hardware side we could also be entitled to Macs and iPad Pro M2 in the coming days! It is rumored that Apple would be satisfied with a volley of press releases rather than organizing a formal event.
No special event in October for the future Mac and iPad Pro M2?
So we’re still in pure speculation but here’s what the end of October could look like and be careful, it’s a bit busy! Thus, one could imagine a flurry of press releases on Tuesday, October 18, accompanied by the release candidate for macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16. Pre-orders could start immediately, unless Apple launches them immediately.
The manufacturer could also do it again with a press release every day to stir up the sauce around products which, apart from their M2 chip, should not revolutionize anything.
Monday, October 24 would be the big day for final OS builds, with support from Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak the next day (they’ll have a bit of work to do). defend Stage Manager…). Let’s not forget the long-anticipated presentation of third quarter financial results on Thursday October 27.
Finally, the new hardware could be put on the shelves on Friday, October 28. And Apple would have finished with its steamroller at the end of the year… unless a last-minute surprise like AirPods Max 2nd generation turns everything upside down!
