Apple’s Oct. 30 iPad and Mac event: live blog
Yes, Apple can still keep a secret.
Certainly, there have been all sorts of leaks and rumors about the new products Apple is poised to unveil at its Oct. 30 event, which begins at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. But what took many by surprise when the invitations hit reporters’ inboxes was the choice of venue: Instead of a location at its Cupertino, California, headquarters or somewhere in the Bay Area, Apple chose the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City.
That seems apt, since what Apple will likely unveil is of great interest to creative professionals: new iPad Pros and Mac hardware. Specifically, two new iPad Pro models (small and large) with edge-to-edge displays and a new Apple Pencil. On the Mac side, the iMac line is due for a refresh, and there may also be a true successor for the MacBook Air on deck. There’s a bunch of other stuff Apple is overdue to catch us up on as well.
Apple is of course live-streaming the event at its website (you need Safari or Microsoft Edge to watch), but the absolute best way to follow the announcements is via our live blog below. Mashable Tech Editor Pete Pachal (@petepachal) and Senior Tech Correspondent Raymond Wong (@raywongy) will be in the thick of it in Brooklyn, while the rest of the team will provide color commentary and context.
It all starts — here — Tuesday morning at 10.
