A forecast as of publication. An announcement and on-sale availability require separate confirmation.
Apple is scheduled to hold its ‘Pro and tell’ event on October 28. Reported potential announcements include updates to the MacBook Pro and iPad mini, along with a new iMac.
A redesigned MacBook Pro with a touchscreen is expected to feature among the announcements. Apple is also rumored to be preparing a more affordable 14-inch model with an M6 chip.
Two possible MacBook Pro models
The higher-end MacBook Pro is rumored to have an OLED display, a thinner and lighter body, a camera cutout in place of the notch, and Dynamic Island. Reports suggest it would join, rather than replace, Apple’s current MacBook Pro models. The name MacBook Ultra has also been floated, but the event’s title makes that seem less likely.
Apple is separately expected to refresh its entry-level MacBook Pro: the 14-inch M6 model reportedly will retain the current design and display technology. The chip is expected to be its main change; the more efficient processor could also improve battery life.
Expected iPad mini and iMac updates
The iPad mini is rumored to gain an OLED display and the A20 Pro chip, also reportedly headed for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo. Its front-facing camera may be repositioned to better support landscape use. Improved water resistance and a more powerful speaker system are also expected.
A new iMac is rumored to replace the current M4 chip with M6 and add refreshed color options. Its expected configuration includes a 12-core CPU, a 12-core GPU, and a Dual 16-core Neural Engine, matching the M6 Mac mini.
