Shrunken Mac Minis and a new iPad Mini might come in November
Apple is planning to announce in late October that new Macs, including a rumored Mac Mini that’s about the size of an Apple TV, will be available to buy starting on November 1st. That’s according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who also writes in his Power On newsletter today that the iPad Mini is getting an overdue refresh — its first since 2021. The Mac Mini may be the most exciting of the updates, given the rumored significant physical revamp coming along with a new M4 chip. Despite its shrunken size, the M4 Pro version might have a healthy connectivity spread (albeit without any USB-A ports). Gurman writes that Apple will also announce M4 versions of the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro, as well as the high-end 14- and- 16-inch MacBook...

Your iPhone 16 may get its first Apple Intelligence features later this month
The iPhone 16, despite its marketing so far, still doesn’t have Apple Intelligence. That’s set to change on October 28th with the release of iOS 18.1, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman in today’s Power On newsletter. The update will bring with it AI-powered notification summaries, Gurman writes. Though he only lists that example, the iOS 18.1 beta has also included some Siri improvements (like understanding you better when you stumble over your words), along with writing tools and a new rainbow-colored glowing edge graphic when you summon Siri on a phone or iPad. Apple Intelligence only runs on the iPhone 15 Pro and up, but it’s also been available in beta for Macs and iPads with Apple silicon chips (M1 and and up), so even if you...
