Apple has previewed announcements around 27 October. A second wave of announcements is rumored to include a touchscreen-enabled MacBook Pro, an OLED iPad mini, and 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac models from the M6 generation.
Following a Bloomberg report, 9to5Mac says that an event around 27 October could see the announcement of the first MacBook Pro with a touchscreen and an OLED iPad mini. There has been no official announcement, and the format and timing of the event remain undecided as the available information is being compiled.
The report identifies 4 products as likely to be announced on 27 October: the introduction of OLED and touchscreen support to the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, an OLED iPad mini, a 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6, and an iMac with M6. Comparisons with current models and changes to their external designs are also included.
The OLED iPad mini is expected to be the first iPad mini to switch to OLED, but details such as screen resolution and whether it will support ProMotion remain uncertain. Views on the MacBook Pro chip are currently split between the M5 Pro/Max and M6, with the final judgment expected to depend on the official announcement.
There is no confirmed information on pricing or the launch date in Japan. Some also expect the trend toward price increases to continue this year, so the information is being compiled on the assumption that the official announcement will be awaited.
