Apple is set to unveil a new touchscreen MacBook Pro and an updated iPad Mini “on or around October 27.” Bloomberg information. If true, that would put the event just two weeks after the October 13 event Apple announced today, which is rumored to focus on smart home products.
Bloomberg says the late October event will include an “online video presentation” and an “in-person component for press,” which it reports is similar to what Apple is planning for the October 13 event.
At this Mac and iPad event, Bloomberg reports that Apple will announce new MacBook Pros that are lighter than those available now, have touch-sensitive OLED displays, and iPhone-like Dynamic Island interfaces. Apple also apparently plans to announce MacBook Pros that retain the current design but have the M6 chip introduced with the new Mac Mini. And the iPad Mini, which was last updated in 2024, will be updated to move the front camera to the horizontal side of the tablet and add a “revamped speaker system.” Bloomberg says.
