It was just last month that the company hosted a big event to show off the XR alongside the new iPhone XS, XS Max and Apple Watch 4. But Apple has had follow-on hardware events in October before -- most recently, in 2016, when it announced three new MacBook Pros and the TV app. And rumor has it that we're due for a second fall show in 2018 that could include a new MacBook Air, higher-end AirPods and a smaller HomePod as well as refreshes of other aging Apple products.

But the rumors with the most momentum involve the new iPad Pro; sources report that Apple will introduce a fresh batch of its high-end tablet before the end of this year. The recent release of the iOS 12.1 beta reportedly includes references to eight "iPad2018Fall" devices -- two Wi-Fi models and two LTE models in each size -- according to 9to5Mac, as well as evidence of a new version of Face ID, USB-C connectivity and output support for 4K displays.
