Apple’s October 28 “Pro and Tell” experience is expected to bring a mix of M6 chip updates and more substantial MacBook Pro changes. Reports point to an M6 iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, redesigned OLED touchscreen MacBook Pros, and an OLED iPad mini. Apple’s invitation confirms the event in Los Angeles; it does not confirm the rumored lineup.

The expected lineup: M6 Macs and an OLED iPad mini
The more incremental updates are expected to be an iMac and an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M6 chip. Recent reporting says both will keep their existing designs, making them primarily chip updates rather than redesigns.
26 The reports describe the iMac as moving from M4 to M6 and the entry-level MacBook Pro from M5 to M6.

Apple announced the M6 in the Mac mini on August 25, 2026, according to its Newsroom listing.
42 One report also suggests the iMac could get Apple’s N1 chip, enabling Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, but that detail is less firmly established than the expected processor update.

An iPad mini with an OLED display is also among the rumored announcements. The available reports do not make the event’s full iPad specifications certain.

Touchscreen MacBook Pros could bring the biggest design change
The headline MacBook Pro rumor is a redesigned model with a touchscreen and OLED display. Reports describe 14-inch and 16-inch sizes; other rumored features include a lighter build and a Dynamic Island around the camera. These remain reported, not Apple-confirmed, specifications.

The touchscreen models are expected to use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, rather than M6 versions of those processors. That would set them apart from the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, which is expected to get the standard M6 chip.

If these reports prove accurate, the entry-level models would use a newer chip generation than the premium touchscreen MacBook Pros. That alone does not establish which model would perform better overall: the chip tiers and the products’ other specifications matter too.
Event time, format and possible availability
The Los Angeles experience is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, at 10 a.m. Pacific time, or 1 p.m. Eastern.

The format is not fully settled in the reporting. Gurman previously described an online video presentation around the launch, while the October 28 invitation is for an in-person media experience. The available sources do not confirm a public livestream for that day.

Some or all of the rumored devices could go on sale Friday, November 6, according to reporting on Gurman’s expectations. That date is not a guarantee for every product in the rumored lineup.
