Apple may not be doing a formal product event this October, but Apple SVP Greg Joswiak is teasing a “week” of Mac announcements starting Monday morning.

The lineup of M4-equipped computers coming soon could include a low-end 14-inch MacBook Pro, high-end 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros, a new iMac, and a new Mac Mini. That new Mac Mini might also get a redesign that could make it close in size to an Apple TV.
When it announced Apple Intelligence at WWDC in June, Apple also detailed its new Private Cloud Compute platform. At the time, Apple said it would allow independent experts to verify its claims around security and privacy.

In a new post on its Security Research Blog, Apple says that it “provided third-party auditors and select security researchers early access” to Private Cloud Compute resources to enable inspection. Now, it’s making those resources available to everyone:
Apple has just released new firmware for AirPods Pro 2 ahead of iOS 18.1’s launch next week. This firmware update brings support for the powerful new health features: Hearing Test, Hearing Aid, and Hearing Protection.
Queen of Christmas Mariah Carey is gearing up for her annual Christmas Time tour with a new Apple Music exclusive Christmas Time Tour set list playlist featuring a mix of her holiday classics and some of the singer’s most beloved non jingle-jangle hits.
To narrow down potential testers, developers can set tester criteria that must be met in order to join a beta. Testers who decide not to join a particular beta can provide feedback to a developer explaining why.
Okay, a week of announcements. And it is all about Mac? This is exciting.
The first question that immediately came into my mind is this: in Apple's universe, how many days are there in a week?
There are currently six Mac products: Mac mini, iMac, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. So, Apple can very well introduce a new updated Mac from Monday to Saturday, and then do a "One More Thing" on Sunday. (Fortieth Anniversary Mac?)
(No, I don't think Apple will -- or can -- update all their Macs to M4 in a single week… or will it?)
