A second event this month

Apple has sent out invites for its second product launch of October. The event is scheduled for October 28 in Los Angeles.

What to expect

According to Bloomberg, Apple will announce new Macs and a refreshed iPad Mini:

  • New MacBook Pro: A model with an OLED touchscreen, a lighter design and an iPhone-like Dynamic Island is expected to be the headline.
  • 14-inch MacBook Pro: A separate model is also expected.
  • New iMac: It will reportedly use the M6 chip recently introduced with the Mac Mini.
  • iPad Mini: It is said to finally get an OLED screen and move the selfie camera to the landscape edge.

Why it matters

A touchscreen MacBook would mark a significant shift in Apple's long-standing Mac design direction. Full details will be clear on October 28.
