Summary
October 28 is set for Apple’s second fall product wave, with press releases and a Los Angeles hands-on session expected to center on new MacBook Pro models, other Macs and the iPad mini 8.
Two firsts headline the MacBook Pro update: OLED displays and touchscreen support, with Apple also adding a reinforced hinge, a lighter design and Dynamic Island on 14-inch and 16-inch models.
M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are expected to stay in the high-end MacBook Pro because newer Pro-class silicon is not ready, while the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac are tipped to move to M6.
The iPad mini 8 is expected to add OLED, an A20 Pro chip and a more water-resistant redesign, potentially lifting its price by about $200 from the current $599.
November 6 is seen as the earliest ship date, with preorders likely opening on October 28 if Apple follows the rollout used for its earlier October launch.
