Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 event is unlikely to feature any iPad announcements, according to Mark Gurman. Instead, updates to the iPad Air are expected to be released in October, potentially through a press release rather than a dedicated event. Gurman suggests that the iPad Pro will receive an update in 2024, while the iPad Air is likely to see improved specifications in the near future. The absence of iPads at the September event may disappoint fans anticipating a comprehensive presentation, and it follows Ming-Chi Kuo's recent prediction that M3 MacBook models won't be released until 2023.
Apple may not hold an October event due to a lack of new products and features, and instead unveil the next-generation iPad Air through a press release.

Gurman doubts that Apple has enough to justify a physical event and expects a similar release strategy for October.
