Apple has announced another event for the year that’s set to take place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on October 30th. It will be the company’s first event held in New York; Apple has traditionally held events in California, but it broke that mold earlier this year with an education-focused iPad event in Chicago in March.
This fall, the company is expected to announce updates to the iPad and MacBook, with perhaps a few more surprises along the way. More rumors about the upcoming iPad Pro have been circling blogs, with some hints about what chip upgrades are coming to the new MacBook (Air? We’ll find out next week). Here are the rumors that have been popping up ahead of the October event.
