Autumn news Applu apparently haven't had their last word yet. According to Mark Gurman of BloombergThere is a performance coming up. MacBooků Pro with a touchscreen OLED display, which could go on sale as early as Friday, November 6.

Next to them, a new one is also inflected iPad mini, which this time only one of the leakerbut also allegedly the website itself Applu. However, there is one catch to all this anticipation. Who would be surprised by the overworked MacBookAt the same time, it promises a new generation of more powerful chips, but will probably be disappointed.

MacBook Pro It is mainly intended to attract with its display

Gurman stated in his podcast that Apple plans to present the new releases on October 27th or 28th. On this occasion, it is to hold a meeting focused on creators in Los Angeles. Whether it will be a classic keynote, it is not yet clear, miniGurman expects minimal product videos.

The alleged preparation of more extensive changes in stores also fits into this scenario. Apple Store during the night of November 5th to 6th. According to him, this may be related to the start of sales of new Macs. Of course, the modification of the stores itself does not confirm the date, but it is interesting as another piece of the puzzle.

The main attraction is the combination of an OLED panel and touch control. OLED could, for example, offer a cleaner display of bright titles on a black background without the light fringing that can occur with mini-LED backlight. For touch, how it is used will be crucial. Apple It will work into the system and application controls. Touching a photo with your finger is one thing, comfortably hitting small controls is another.

Moreover, the news could complement the current mini-LED models as a more expensive alternative. Previously mentioned name MacBook Ultra Gurman no longer considers it so likely and is inclined to retain the designation Pro.

New look, same chips

Inside OLED MacBookThe chips should remain M5 Pro and M5 MaxAccording to Gurman Apple not going to varianty M6 Pro, 6 Max nor M6 Ultra and for more powerful chips, it will head straight to the M7 series. The basic M6 is still expected in the iMac and the entry-level 14-inch MacBooku Pro.
M7 Pro and M7 Max are due to arrive by the end of 2027, M7 Ultra then in the first half of 2028. Pro For those interested in this year's OLED models, this means an important thing: the reason to replace the current one MacBookus M5 Pro or M5 Max would be primarily the display and the way of control. The mere preservation of the chips does not indicate a fundamental performance shift.

iPad mini reminded of the case

October's plans should also include iPad mini 8 with OLED display and supposedly more water-resistant design. Suspicion fuels case footage Smart Folio with the designation A3632 on francon the Uzbek regulatory website Applu, which he pointed out MacRumorsAccording to him, this number does not correspond to the existing cases for mini.

The new accessory may indicate a modification of the tablet's design, but it does not prove different dimensions or incompatibility of older cases. It also does not confirm OLED or higher durability. We will have to wait for a definitive answer. However, if the October scenario comes out, in addition to the touch screen MacBooku could see more significant changes tooneEven the smallest iPad is eagerly awaited.
