Apple Unleashed event of October 2021: what we wait to see
Apple has announced that its October 10 event, titled Unleashed! - It will land very soon on the eighteenth of October. The tech company promises to unveil some pretty awesome gadgets, so we're excitedly counting down the hours until the event goes live at 00:6am PDT / 00:4pm BST / 00:XNUMXam on October XNUMXth. ON However, if the wait is too long for you to find out what Apple has in store, we'll walk you through everything to expect from the next Apple Store, as well as our explanation of why these devices are likely to appear.

The only device we really look forward to in Apple's Unleashed! The event is a new sixteen-inch (two thousand twenty-one) MacBook Pro. The larger MacBook Pro is one of the few devices that still hasn't been updated in the last year, and there's been plenty of talk that this is about to change. In addition to this, we expect a 1-inch MacBook Pro (1) to also be unveiled with many of the same specs as its 1-inch sibling. Not only will the new 1 MacBook Pro be bigger than last year's 1-inch MacBook Pro, but it's also virtually guaranteed that both will use the much-anticipated M1X chip. Apple's MXNUMX SoC is a powerful tool that has helped ensure that its latest technologies, such as the MacBook Pro (XNUMX), iMac (XNUMX), and iPad Pro (XNUMX), are the best devices on the planet. brand arsenal. Gossip about the MXNUMXX points out that the follow-up hardware will ship with either XNUMX processor cores and either XNUMX or XNUMX GPU cores, depending on which version you choose. For comparison, the MXNUMX only uses eight cores for its CPU and another eight for its GPU, so if gossip is to be found, the MXNUMXX is going to be an even better tool for designers and graphics-intensive professionals. The XNUMX-inch (MXNUMX, XNUMX) MacBook Pro was recently voted Best Laptop for Creatives in the XNUMX TechRadar Choice Awards, bringing the prospect of the XNUMX-inch (XNUMX) MacBook Pro. and the fourteen-inch (two thousand twenty-one) MacBook Pro mocks it. it gives more than enough reasons to hear about the event on Monday.

Apple computer enthusiasts can get another treat throughout Unleashed! As expected, the company will also introduce a new Mac mini powered by M1X. When the brand launched the 1-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip last year, it also announced a new Mac mini (M1, XNUMX), so it certainly wouldn't surprise us if the company did the same this year. However, we will accept that we are less sure of this than the MacBook Pro MXNUMXX. D'une part, nous n'avons pas vu autant de rumeurs de Mac mini que nous avons pour les deux rumeurs de MacBook Pro - un signe que les détails ne sont peut-être pas encore aussi certains et qu'ils sont plus éloignés de exit. On top of this, the global shortage of silicon chips has had a huge impact on the manufacturing of new technologies, especially in the IT industry. Apple may well want to hold off on its Mac mini plans until next year to better meet the demands of its new MacBook Pro. We'll have to wait until the first day of the week to be sure.

AirPod three

Lastly, if you don't care for Apple computers, you might want to tune in to watch the company introduce the next generation of its wireless headphones: the Apple Airpods XNUMX. While we haven't heard much AirPods XNUMX gossip, there's still plenty of evidence to suggest a new entry to the AirPods lineup is coming soon. The most essential factor is Apple's Spatial Audio feature. Apple's surround sound technology creates a XNUMX-degree soundscape you can immerse yourself in while listening to your favorite music, movies, and TV shows. However, it is not compatible with the latest generation of AirPods; only available on AirPods Pro true wireless headphones and AirPods Max in-ear headphones. It would make sense for Apple to finally release a base pair of AirPods that could take advantage of its best audio technology. The discounts we've seen lately on Apple's current AirPods add fuel to the fire again; headphones that are a couple of years old could be out of stock before the AirPods XNUMX replace them. Again, we can't say for sure that the AirPods XNUMX are going to hit the Apple scene, but we'd be a bit surprised if they didn't make an appearance on the first day of the week of October XNUMX.
