We saw a number of product updates from Apple this week, in line with expectations. The three products are available to order now and will be launched in the next couple of weeks.
We're still expecting some Mac-related updates before the end of the year, but we got official confirmation of the release dates for macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16.
There was no Apple event this week, but that didn't stop Apple from announcing new iPad Pro models with the M2 chip, a redesign of the 10th-generation iPad, and more.
All three of Apple's operating systems will be released on October 24th.
We've put together a video of everything that Apple announced and shared links to all of our coverage, as well as our latest episode of The Mac Rumors Show, which looks at all of the announcements.
The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro received a relatively minor update this week with the M2 chip.
You can order the new iPad Pro now. The price for the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models is $799 and $1,099, respectively, in the US.
The entry-level iPad received a complete redesign this week and now has a larger display, a Touch ID power button, and a landscape camera. The starting price is $449.
The new iPad is compatible with the original Apple Pencil, but an accessory is required to pair and charge the device. The adapter has become a meme in a short period of time.
The Apple TV 4K received a spec boost this week, with new features such as an A15 Bionic chip, up to 128GB of storage, and a Siri remote, among others. The starting price is $129.
The new Apple TV is thinner and lighter and has more memory. There are at least 10 new features and changes with the new Apple TV so be sure to check out our list to learn everything that is new.
The macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 release dates were announced this week. The updates will be available on Monday.
Stage Manager is one of the new features in both updates, but there are still some issues with the iPad version.
Around 10 a.m. will be the time when both updates will be released. The time is on Monday.
According to Apple, the next version of the operating system will be released on October 24th. Live Activities in third-party apps, iCloud shared photo library, Apple fitness+ without an Apple watch, and more are included in the update.
Apple's new digital canvas app Freeform is one of the features that have yet to be released.
With the new iPad Pro, iPad, and Apple TV models out of the way, attention is turning to the Mac. There are rumors that Apple will launch new high-end MacBook Pro and Mac mini models later this year.
According to Mark Gurman in his newsletter this week, the initial version of macOS Ventura will include support for new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models. Gurman previously claimed that new models with both M2 and M2 Pro chip options were in the works, and those are likely to debut before the end of the year.
