Apple Sets Oct. 28 Event to Unveil Touchscreen MacBook Pro, OLED iPad Mini

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Oct 24

Summary

  • Oct. 28 at 1 p.m. ET is when Apple plans its Los Angeles “Pro and tell” launch, centered on a long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro and an OLED iPad Mini.
  • The MacBook Pro is expected to become Apple’s first touchscreen and first OLED laptop, likely keeping the Pro models on M5 Pro and M5 Max chips rather than moving high-end notebooks to M6.
  • M6 updates may still reach the base MacBook Pro and iMac, with the entry MacBook Pro tipped for a modest redesign and possible price increase tied to component shortages.
  • The iPad Mini could gain OLED and jump from the A17 to the A20 chip, a change that may add about $100 and start a broader display shift across Apple’s tablet lineup.
