Apple teased a new 'Pro and Tell' event for October 28 in Los Angeles, expected to introduce a touchscreen MacBook Pro, an OLED iPad mini 8, and updated iMac and MacBook Pro models with the M6 chip. Meanwhile, the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable smartphone, launched to 'extraordinary' demand, causing long lines at Apple Stores and shipping delays until January 2027. Apple advised limited walk-in availability and resumed online ordering for in-store pickup.
Early reviews noted that many third-party apps still display in a traditional iPhone layout with black bars until developers optimize them for the new form factor. Additionally, Verizon announced a $10 monthly charge for the iPhone Handoff feature, which allows two iPhones to share a single phone number. iOS 27.2 and related updates are also expected to be released soon.
