At 8:30 am ET, the Apple Store went offline, which is usually a sure sign that new products are on the way. A tweet shared by Tim Cook used the phrase “The possibilities are endless” and the “TakeNote” hashflag, which shows a colorful Apple logo when used. The tweet is accompanied by a colorful animation of someone repeatedly pinching a screen to zoom in on rainbow-colored doodles. It features the song “Go On” by Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, which includes the line, “Something’s comin’ ’round the bend, something’s buried in the text.” It’s almost certainly a reference to the iPad and Apple Pencil. The 10th generation iPad is rumored to finally include support for the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, which has a matte finish and a flatter design with magnetic charging. The 1st generation pencil was also changed with a Lightning port. In his weekly Power On newsletter, Gurman reports that Apple plans to release refreshes to the iPad Pro and entry-level iPad series first. The iPad Pro will look like the current models that haven’t changed since 2018, but offer more performance with an M2 chip. There are also rumors that the new iPad Pros could feature wireless charging and MagSafe charging, but screen sizes and other specs are expected to remain the same, including screen differences between the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, as confirmed in a tweet from Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants. The 10th generation iPad will reportedly see a much bigger change, with a larger 10.5-inch screen, flat edges and USB-C. There are conflicting rumors about how dramatic the redesign will be – it may lose the Home button altogether – and Gurman says only that the new model will be “the most significant update to this series in several years”. A Twitter user spotted a new 2022 iPad case at Target that shows the new tablet will support the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Gurman’s next tweet confirmed that “days” actually meant days, and the iPads will arrive Tuesday morning, likely at 8:30am. ET. Gurman also says that iPadOS 16.1 won’t arrive until the week of October 24th, so the new iPads likely won’t ship until next Friday, October 28th. Apple also reportedly has a slew of new Macs ready to launch this month, including the M2 refresh of the Mac mini and the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. They could arrive next week with macOS Monterey or land in early November.
