Apple To Launch IPad Mini 7 And Mac Mini M4 In October

JAKARTA Not all new devices from Apple will be launched at the Glowtime event on Monday, September 9. Reportedly Macs with the M4 chipset and the latest iPad model will be released separately in October.

Quoted from a Bloomberg report, the It's Glowtime show only introduced the iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, and AirPods 4. Apple will also launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AirPods Max 2-based chipset with a Lightning port.

Meanwhile, at another device launch event in October, Apple will introduce the iPad Mini 7 with the latest generation iPad entry-level model. The company last released the iPad Mini in October 2021.

The iPad Mini 6 uses the same chip as the iPhone 13, which is the A15 Bionic chip. This device only has 4GB RAM. It is not yet known how much RAM will be adopted by the iPad Mini 7. However, it is reported that this new device will use the A17 Pro chipset.

The iPad Mini 7 will use an LCD panel that is able to address the jelly scrolling problem or the seesaw effect on text and images due to inconsistent refresh rate. The device will support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Meanwhile, Mac Mini, which is a computer the size of an Apple TV box, will jump over an M3 chip and immediately adopt an M4 chip. This device will have a different design from the previous generation as Apple will remove its USB-A port.

The Mac Mini M4 will have five USB-C ports, using aluminum materials, and a size of 1.4 inches higher than before. In addition to launching Mac Mini M4 and iPad Mini 7, Apple will probably launch iMac and MacBook Pro with the M4 chip at the event.
