With Apple reportedly planning to unveil new products on October 13, here\u2019s when the company could announce an event, based on the timing of its previous October announcements.<\/p>\n
Will Apple hold an October event?<\/p>\n
While Apple\u2019s September event history tends to follow a very predictable pattern, the company\u2019s October event history is much less precise, both in terms of when the events are held and how far in advance they are announced.<\/p>\n
Since 2010, Apple has held an October event just 10 times, with the most recent one being the Halloween-themed \u201cScary Fast\u201d event on the evening of October 30, 2023.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how far in advance Apple has announced each of its October events since 2010:<\/p>\n

So it remains to be seen whether some of those products would be unveiled at the same event, at a separate event, or through press releases.<\/p>\n Looking back, Apple announced new Macs through press releases over three consecutive days in October 2024, while in October 2025, it unveiled the M5 chip alongside new iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Apple Vision Pro models without holding an event.<\/p>\n By contrast, Apple has only held a November event once, in 2020, when its \u201cOne More Thing\u201d event introduced the first Macs powered by the M1 Apple silicon chip.<\/p>\n Of course, 2020 was an unusual year for Apple\u2019s event schedule, with the company also holding separate events in September and October after a rare late-June WWDC, as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted its usual timeline.<\/p>\n Which new products do you think Apple will announce at the rumored October event?
