Updated 10/18/18: Apple's October event has been scheduled for October 30 in New York. Apple doesn’t often participate in big industry-wide events like or E3.

The most valuable company in the world holds it own events, thank you very much. Several times a year, Apple invites the press and industry professionals out to a theater to hear all about its latest products and services. Apple calls these “Special Events,” and to its millions of fans. There’s also WWDC, Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, a multi-day event in the middle of the year focused on sessions for developers, helping them make the most out of the latest Apple tools and products.

It kicks off with a big keynote that serves to announce new products (typically the latest versions of iOS and macOS, as well as a few hardware products). Apple usually announces the exact dates of its special events only a couple weeks in advance, but it tends to hold events at similar times from one year to the next. Here’s a list of the events we expect Apple to hold in 2018, and what we expect it to announce there. The next Apple Event: October 30, 2018 Apple has sent out colorful, creative invites for a new press event on October 30, 2018 at 10am EDT. The event will be held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in the Howard Gillman Opera House. IDG Apple sent every attendee a different Apple logo on their invitation.

Apple always does includes a unique piece of artwork and a tagline that can give us a clue about what is going to be announced. For the October event, Apple put a different creative Apple logo on every invitation (a first!), with the tagline 'There's More in the Making.' This ties in with what we expect Apple to announce at the event:, potentially with USB-C, a new Apple Pencil, and Face ID, and more. Apple is likely to pitch it as a serious tool for creative professionals, in line with the announcement that.

What else might Apple introduce? We're still waiting on AirPower, but we're not holding our breath. Apple is rumored to be close to releasing a new replacement for the MacBook and MacBook Air—a single new lower-cost, thin-and-light laptop with retina display. This would be the best time and place to announce that, if it's ready. We round up all the. Future Apple events: Not until 2019 After the October event, we don't expect Apple to hold another official gathering to show off new hardware and software until the spring of 2019, at the earliest.

Our best guess (and this is only a guess) is that there will be an event in March that will focus on Apple TV and all the new Apple has in the works, and possibly other media-related hardware like new AirPods or over-the-ear headphones.

Windows shows the full date and time in the desktop taskbar. In OS X, the current time is displayed in the menu bar at the top-right corner of the screen, but only the day of the week (i.e., ‘Tue’ for Tuesday) is shown, not the current date (i.e., July 21, 2015). The good news for Matt is that this is only the default display configuration for OS X, and that the user can easily change the way that the date and time are shown on your Mac desktop. Here’s how to show the date in the Mac menu bar. By default, the OS X menu bar displays only the day of the week and the current time. See the Current Date with a Click First, here’s a quick tip that new Mac users may not already know. The current date is available in the OS X menu bar, but you have to click on the menu bar clock to see it.

When you do, a drop-down menu will appear showing the complete date (i.e., “Tuesday, July 21, 2015”) listed at the top. You can always see the full date by clicking the clock in the OS X menu bar. This isn’t the solution that Matt is looking for, but it’s an easy way to reference the current date without permanently displaying it in the menu bar. Show the Current Date in the OS X Menu Bar To permanently display the current date in the Mac menu bar, launch System Preferences (the gear icon in your Dock) and click on Date & Time. Alternatively, you can get to this same preference window by clicking the clock in your menu bar and selecting Open Date & Time Preferences. From the Date & Time preference window, click the Clock tab to see the configuration options for your Mac’s menu bar clock.

To show the date, find and check the option labeled Show date. You’ll instantly see the abbreviated date (i.e., ‘Jul’ for July) appear in between the day of the week and the current time. The OS X menu bar clock configured to display the current date in addition to the day of the week. If you’re so inclined, you can further tweak the look of your menu bar date and time display by changing other options in this window. For example, you can display seconds in addition to hours and minutes in your clock, switch between a 12-hour and 24-hour clock format, or hide the “AM/PM” indicators. The only downside is that, unlike Windows, it is not possible to display the current year in the menu bar (however, the year is always displayed when revealing the current date by clicking on the clock in the menu bar, as described in the previous section).

While this likely won’t be a problem for, those who want the complete date shown in the menu bar, including year, will have to turn to third party alternatives like. If you use a third party app to display the date or time in the menu bar, you’ll likely want to disable Apple’s menu bar clock entirely, which you can do by unchecking the option labeled Show date and time in menu bar in the Date & Time preferences window. Once you’ve made your display choices for your Mac menu bar clock, you can close System Preferences. There’s no need to save or reboot; you’ll see your date and clock display change instantly.

If you ever wish to further tweak your menu bar clock, or revert to the default configuration, you can do so by returning to System Preferences Date & Time Clock. Other Options for Showing the Date The steps above are simple and effective, but your Mac’s menu bar has limited space for displaying information, especially for those using smaller, low-resolution displays. Other users simply prefer a minimalistic look with as little in the menu bar as possible. Here are some other options if you want quick access to the current date but don’t want it taking up extra space in the menu bar.

Use the Calendar app in your Dock: Apple’s Calendar app is unique in that its dock icon changes each day to show the current date. If you keep the Calendar app icon in your dock, even if you don’t use the app, you’ll always have a way to quickly reference the current date. Use Bartender to Hide Other Menu Bar Icons: If you simply don’t have room for the full date in your menu bar, you can use the app ($15) to hide most or all of them, leaving plenty of room for a complete date and time menu bar widget. There are free apps that offer similar functionality to Bartender — and — but we can’t vouch for them as we haven’t used either extensively. Check the Date in Notification Center: Apple added a “Today” view to in OS X Yosemite.

Those running Yosemite or higher can see the complete date displayed at the top of the Today view. Use a Third Party App: There are several OS X apps that can be configured to display the date in the menu bar, often using less space than Apple’s text-based approach. For example, ($40) can be configured to display the current date as a small calendar icon (and you’ll get a calendar and reminder app, too!)
