Apple may bring touchscreen MacBook Pro, OLED iPad mini at October 28 event
MacBook users may soon be able to navigate their laptops by tapping the screen as Apple prepares for its October 28 “Pro and Tell” event, where several new devices are expected to be introduced.
According to online reports, Apple could unveil a touchscreen MacBook Pro, an M6-powered MacBook Pro, an M6 iMac, and an OLED iPad mini.
The upcoming announcements may bring changes to Apple's laptop and tablet lineup, particularly with the possible introduction of touchscreen functionality to the MacBook Pro.
A MacBook Pro you may finally be able to touch
Apple could introduce a MacBook Pro featuring an OLED touchscreen, potentially allowing users to interact directly with their laptop displays.
The device is expected to feature a thinner and lighter design, along with a Dynamic Island-style interface.
However, Apple is unlikely to completely redesign macOS around touchscreen functionality. Instead, the company may introduce interface adjustments to accommodate touch controls.
An M6-powered MacBook Pro
Apple may also introduce a new MacBook Pro powered by its M6 processor.
The upcoming model is expected to retain its existing design while receiving a processor upgrade.
A refreshed iMac
Apple's iMac could also receive an upgrade with the M6 chip.
The new model is expected to maintain its current design, although additional color options may be introduced.
An OLED iPad mini
Apple may also unveil an updated iPad mini featuring an OLED display.
The device is expected to receive an upgraded processor, while its speaker system could undergo changes.
However, the OLED upgrade may increase production costs, potentially making the upcoming iPad mini more expensive.
What to expect on October 28
Apple's “Pro and Tell” event is scheduled for October 28.
The company is expected to showcase its upcoming Mac and iPad products, although the final specifications, pricing, and availability have yet to be confirmed.
