Preorders are open for Apple's latest iPad mini, iMac, and MacBook Pro models, with all devices arriving in stores Friday, November 6. Customers in the United States can place orders through Apple's website or the Apple Store app. The new hardware includes an OLED iPad mini, an M6-powered iMac, and two MacBook Pro updates with different processors and displays.
Apple's eighth-generation iPad mini replaces its LCD screen with an 8.5-inch OLED display, bringing deeper blacks and higher contrast to the company's smallest tablet. As reported Monday, Apple has also narrowed the bezels, reduced the enclosure to 5.4 mm thick, and added IP67 water and dust resistance. The A20 Pro chip powers the tablet, which also gains Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, faster charging, and a 12MP Center Stage camera positioned for landscape video calls.
Pricing starts at $699 for a Wi-Fi model with 128GB of storage, while cellular configurations begin at $849. Buyers can choose between midnight and starlight finishes, with storage options reaching 512GB. Apple also offers a new Tech Woven Smart Folio for $79.
The 24-inch iMac has received its first processor upgrade since 2024, replacing M4 with Apple's new M6 chip. According to Apple's performance claims, the updated desktop delivers up to five times faster on-device AI performance than the previous generation. The iMac remains available in blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, orange, and silver.
Two different MacBook Pro updates are available to preorder. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 starts at $1,999, retaining its Liquid Retina XDR display while adding faster processing, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6. Apple announced the standard M6 model on Tuesday, as detailed in earlier coverage.
The bigger change arrived Wednesday, when Apple introduced its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, featuring a tandem OLED display that supports touch input, Pro Motion refresh rates up to 120Hz, and peak brightness of 2.
