More new Apple devices006 Archivescoming.

As if this month wasn't already jam-packed with new product announcements from every tech company under the sun, Apple just sent out invitations for an event on Oct. 30 where it willl likely announce updated iPad Pros with Face ID support and possibly that rumored 13-inch MacBook we've heard so much about.

Oddly enough, the event will take place in New York City at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. (Apple's events, especially the ones that debut new hardware, are typically in California.)

Last refreshed in 2017, Apple's iPad Pros are due for an update. Reports suggest the new iPad will sport thinner bezels (mostly reduced top and bottom bezels), support Face ID in both portrait and landscape, and ditch the Lightning port for USB-C (yes, really).

The 10.5-inch iPad Pro might be retired and replaced with an 11-inch version, while the 12.9-inch will still remain — both will have a smaller footprint of course thanks to the slimmer bezels.

Apple might also announce a new Apple Pencil that connects to the iPad Pro based on its proximity to the tablet.

The other long-rumored product expected to debut at the event is a new 13-inch MacBook. The laptop is likely to replace the aging 13-inch MacBook Air and come with a Retina display and a design similar to the 12-inch MacBook, which could be discontinued.

Apple might also use the event to announce an updated Mac mini. The compact Mac was last updated in 2014. The latest report suggests the updated Mac mini might be targeted at professionals.

Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt. None of it's official until Apple announces them. For all we know, all of these leaks are all wrong.
