- According to a report by The Verge reporter Jay Peters, Apple has sent invitations to a product event on October 28 at 1 PM (Eastern US time, Los Angeles local time). Marketing chief Greg Joswiak also posted on X previewing next week's announcements.
- According to the original report, which cites Bloomberg, Apple plans to unveil new Macs and an improved iPad mini at this event. The biggest announcement is expected to be a new MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen, and reports say a new 14-inch MacBook Pro and a new iMac using the M6 chip will also be shown.
- The original report says the new MacBook Pro will be lighter than previous models and will have a function area similar to the Dynamic Island at the top of the iPhone screen. This is an expectation based on the report, and Apple has not confirmed it.
- The iPad mini is reported to use an OLED screen, with the selfie camera moved to the landscape edge. Earlier, at a smart-home-focused event on October 13, Apple unveiled the new HomeView home hub, an updated Apple TV 4K, and the 2-generation HomePod mini.
O: Laptop users who have been putting off an Apple product upgrade may want to compare the official specs and prices released right after the October 28 event with the Mac they use now, then decide when to buy.
X: The OLED touchscreen and Dynamic Island reported for the new MacBook Pro are expectations based on outside reports such as Bloomberg, so they should not be treated as confirmed official specs.
