New iPad Pro, new MacBook Air, updated Mac Mini and more: What to expect from Apple’s Oct. 30 event in Brooklyn

Apple's has one last major event planned for 2018, and it could be a whopper. After announcing the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR and the Apple Watch 4 in September, the company is expected to unveil a handful of additional products on Oct. 30. A series of reports from journalists and analysts have outlined Apple's purported plans to announce new iPad Pros and a dramatically redesigned MacBook Air as well as, possibly, other new hardware, software and services. The company has not responded to our attempts to confirm these rumors.
 
According to what has become something of a custom, one week ahead of the scheduled event, veteran Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released his preshow predictions (via MacRumors) of what he thinks we'll see on Tuesday. Though he isn't always 100 percent accurate, Kuo has a good track record and much of what's in his most recent report aligns closely with the rumors we've heard over the spring and summer. 
 
Apple hasn't officially announced anything beyond the date, time and venue for the upcoming event, of course. But we've analyzed all the rumors and news tidbits collected over the past year, and we present below an educated guess about what Apple will and won't unveil on Oct. 30.
