Apple plans an October 28 event to launch new MacBook, iMac, and iPad mini models

Apple has scheduled an October 28, 2026, product launch event in Los Angeles to introduce four new hardware devices. The upcoming lineup includes the company's first-ever MacBook Pro featuring a touchscreen display and an OLED panel, which will be powered by the M5 Pro or M5 Max chip. Additionally, Apple is set to release a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, a 24-inch iMac with an M6 chip, and a redesigned iPad mini 8. The iPad mini 8 is expected to feature the A20 Pro chip, a landscape-oriented front camera, and a revamped speaker system. While the new MacBook Pro will retain a similar design to current models, it will incorporate a dynamic user interface that adjusts based on touch or point-and-click input. Mark Gurman reports that Apple is also planning a two-day media experience, with an initial dinner and meetings on October 27 followed by the official product reveal on October 28. Retail stores are preparing for product resets on November 5 and 6, with the official launch of the new Mac and iPad mini models expected on November 6.
