On October 28, Apple will hold a product launch event called Pro and Tell, marking a busy fall for the company. This event includes a long-awaited update to the MacBook Pro lineup, following surprise Mac launches in late August and the usual iPhone event in September. The invitation to the Pro and Tell event featured an outline of a radar sweep using Apple's signature colors, suggesting changes to the MacBook Pro are imminent.
Retail refreshes are planned for November 6, which may indicate when sales begin for the new products. Apple has a busy slate of potential product launches, including Mac mini and Mac Studio updates in August, iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and the fifth-generation AirPods.
Among the upcoming updates, the iPad mini is expected to receive an 8.4-inch LTPS panel with hybrid OLED display, bringing it up to par with the iPad Pro range. However, it may not include ProMotion, a feature typically found in Pro models. The MacBook Pro is also rumored to receive an OLED display, making it the first touch-enabled MacBook and joining a market crowded with touch-enabled devices. The MacBook Pro could also feature a chip upgrade, such as the A20, and potentially Apple's networking and modem chips.
