Apple is preparing to introduce OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models on the evening of October twenty‑seven or October twenty‑eight, with a potential launch on Friday, November sixth. The company has scheduled a "big floor reset" at retail stores on Thursday evening, November fifth, extending into Friday, November sixth, likely to ready the stores for the new Macs. Alongside the MacBook Pro, rumors suggest an OLED iPad mini, M6 iMac, and M6 entry‑level fourteen‑inch MacBook Pro will debut. The new MacBook Pro models will use the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, offering a higher‑end option without new processors. Apple will also release the iPhone Duo on October twenty‑three, HomePod mini two on October thirty, and Apple TV four‑K on November thirteenth.
