Summary

  • Oct. 28 is when Apple is expected to show its first major MacBook Pro redesign since 2021 at a Los Angeles “Pro and tell” media hands-on.
  • The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is tipped to add OLED, touch support and a lighter design, while refreshed iMac and base 14-inch MacBook Pro models are expected with the M6 chip.
  • An OLED iPad mini is also expected, broadening Apple’s OLED push beyond the flagship MacBook Pro update.
  • Cellular support remains the main open question: earlier reports said Apple had tested MacBook Pro configurations with its C1 and later C2 modems, but no recent leak has confirmed the feature will ship.
