Apple is reportedly planning an all-day experience event in the US on October 28, inviting members of the press. The new products expected to be announced are said to include 14-inch and 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro models and an OLED iPad mini. The launch is expected around November 6, while activity at Apple’s retail stores is also being cited as a clue.
According to US media reports, Apple plans to hold an all-day experience event in Los Angeles for members of the press and creators. Videos are reportedly expected to be released, but no live-streamed presentation is anticipated. The date could shift between the night of the 27th and the early hours of the 29th, and the event remains subject to official confirmation.
The launch is widely expected to take place on Friday, November 6, and plans have reportedly been made for Apple Stores in the US to substantially reconfigure their sales floors from the evening of the 5th. This is being viewed as a clue to when the new products, particularly the higher-end models, will appear in stores.
The products expected to be announced are likely to include 14-inch and 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro models, an OLED iMac, and an OLED iPad mini. Some observers also expect models from the current M5 Pro/Max generation to continue. It has been suggested that the lineup could combine new models equipped with M6 chips with models using the previous generation.
Reactions overseas have been mixed, with some calling for a live stream and others expressing confusion over the differences between chip generations. The change in the presentation format is also drawing attention. The announcement date, pricing, and pre-order start date for Japan have not been confirmed and remain subject to Apple’s official announcement.
Overall, the prevailing view is that Japan will learn of the new products no earlier than the night of the 27th, while customers will be able to try them in person around November 6. Activity at Apple’s retail stores is expected to provide a useful clue.
