Apple plans to introduce new OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models

What happened

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to introduce new MacBook Pro models featuring OLED touchscreen displays [2]. These new machines are expected to be introduced on either October 27 or October 28, with a potential launch date of Friday, November 6 [2].

Key details regarding these upcoming products and other scheduled releases include:

• The new OLED MacBook Pro models may be sold as high-end options alongside existing mini-LED models [2].
• These laptops are expected to use the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips rather than new ones [2].
• Apple is also rumored to be launching an OLED iPad mini, an M6 iMac, and an M6 entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro [2].
• Apple retail stores reportedly have a “big floor reset” scheduled for the evening of November 5 and into November 6, which Gurman suggests could prepare for the new Macs [2].
• Apple plans a creator-focused gathering in Los Angeles to introduce the new products [2].

Other upcoming product dates mentioned by Gurman include the iPhone Duo on October 23, the HomePod mini 2 on October 30, and the HomeView and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on November 13 [2]. While Gurman previously suggested the new OLED Macs might be called “MacBook Ultra,” he more recently indicated they would likely remain part of the MacBook Pro line [2].
