According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning a two-day product showcase for content creators in Los Angeles on October 27 and October 28. These are described as experiences rather than traditional live-streamed events. This follows a similar experience held in New York on Tuesday, October 13. Gurman suggests this may be Apple's final major launch of 2026.
On October 13, Apple is expected to unveil an updated Apple TV 4K, a HomePod mini 2, and an all-new HomeView smart home hub.
Potential announcements for or around October 27 include 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring OLED displays, touchscreen support, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a Dynamic Island, and a lighter design. These models may also include Apple’s C1X or C2 modem for cellular connectivity. Other anticipated products include a 24-inch iMac with an M6 chip and new colors, a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, and an iPad mini 8 featuring an OLED display, A20 Pro chip, landscape front camera, redesigned speaker system, and water-resistant design.
