Apple will announce a second wave of new products on Wednesday, October 28. Like the October 13 "Welcome Home" announcement, "Pro and Tell" isn't going to be a traditional Apple event, but some members of the media have been invited to Los Angeles to get hands-on time with the new devices.
Everyone not invited to Los Angeles will get to see the product announcements via press releases that come out on October 28. Apple could send out press releases at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which is when the media experience will begin. Press release announcements typically come out earlier in the morning around 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, so that's also a possibility.
The "Pro and Tell" name gives us a strong hint at what's coming: the MacBook Pro. It will be joined by other new Macs and a new iPad. New high-end MacBook Pro models are coming with two firsts for the Mac line: OLED display technology and a touchscreen. The MacBook Pro will have an OLED display for improved contrast, richer colors, and power savings. macOS 27 is being updated for touch-based gestures, and the MacBook Pro will be the first Mac that has touchscreen capabilities. Apple is adding a sturdier hinge for support so the display won't move when you tap on the screen. The MacBook Pro will be lighter than the current model, and OLED screens will be available for both the 14-inch and 16-inch models. Apple is getting rid of the notch and will add a Dynamic Island instead. Apple might keep selling the current MacBook Pro models and add the OLED models as a higher-end, more expensive option.
The 14-inch entry-level MacBook Pro is expected to get an M6 chip to replace the M5 chip it was updated with in October 2025. Rumors suggest Apple will update the 24-inch iMac with an M6 chip too. Along with the new Macs, an iPad mini 8 update is expected with an OLED display, making it the first iPad other than the iPad Pro to adopt OLED.
