First Apple Intelligence, then new devices
Must have iOS 18.1 According to informationBased on informed sources, will be available on October 28th. It can be assumed that Apple will also release iPadOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 at the same time. The main innovation is the partial release of the group’s AI system, but there will be a whole range of other innovations. These include better configuration options for the new Control Center (including resetting changes) and the ability to record phone calls.
However, Apple Intelligence will not be officially available in the EU because Apple fears excessive regulation. It requires a US App Store account to use it, finally it looks like Apple has abandoned hard geo-blocks for now. AI features are not yet complete, for example the image generators Genmoji and Image Playground and ChatGPT support are missing. Furthermore, use will only be possible in the US English language version, with German and other languages ​​not available before 2025.

Refreshed Apple hardware on November 1st
Bloomberg has written that the new Apple devices will be available on November 1. At least plans call for new MacBook Pro models with M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max SoCs in 14 and 16-inch versions (including the low-end version), new iMacs with M4 and a redesigned MacBook with M4 and M4 Pro. Are for Mac Mini. There will apparently also be a new iPad mini (same form factor, new SoC) and possibly a new standard iPad (then iPad 11). There were also rumors about an iPad Air with a new SoC, although that might not be revealed until the spring.
Apple already brought its M4 SoC forward with the new iPad Pro models before it ended in Macs this year – the November 1 release is similarly significant. According to Bloomberg, at least “some” of them will be presented on the said date. What’s strange, however, is that it’s a Friday – an unusual keynote date for Apple. it’s on youtube now a video from russia Has surfaced that includes showing the unboxing of the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 geekbench scoreSuch an initial leak would be very unusual. An alleged box of such a device has already surfaced – including a note that MacBook Pro entry-level models should now have at least 16GB. However, the packaging shows last year’s Apple wallpaper.
