Abstract:
Apple has begun inviting some media to participate in a new product experience event to be held in Los Angeles, USA on October 28. The event was described as an all-day product launch experience, showing that Apple is about to launch a new round of important hardware products at the end of this month.
According to well-known Apple whistleblower Mark Gurman, this media event is expected to focus on a number of new devices, including the much-anticipated touch version of MacBook, the new generation iPad mini, and new Mac computers equipped with M6 chips.
Gulman has previously said that Apple will announce these new products around October 27 and complete the release through online videos, and then arrange for media to have on-site experiences. The latest news further confirms that the media experience event will be held on October 28, but it is still unclear whether Apple will officially release the product on that day or complete the online release one day in advance.
The product that the outside world is most concerned about is undoubtedly Apple’s first touch MacBook. It is rumored that the new products will use redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which will not only introduce OLED displays, but will also support direct touch operations for the first time.
In addition to touch functions, the new MacBook Pro is expected to adopt a thinner and lighter body design and add a display area similar to the iPhone Smart Island. This will become one of the largest design changes to the MacBook product line in recent years.
The market has previously speculated that Apple may use the new name "MacBook Ultra", but the latest news shows that Apple is more inclined to continue to include these products in the MacBook Pro series rather than opening up a new product line.
In addition to high-end redesigned versions, Apple is expected to release regular upgraded Mac products. These include the 14-inch MacBook Pro equipped with M6 chips and the new generation iMac, further promoting the popularity of the M6 platform in the Mac product line.
At the same time, the new generation iPad mini is also expected to be unveiled simultaneously. According to the information currently exposed, this product will be upgraded to an OLED display and adopt a front-facing camera layout more suitable for horizontal video calls. It will also be equipped with a redesigned speaker system to improve the audio-visual and video conferencing experience.
Recent news about Apple’s new product plans for the end of October continues to increase. The market has previously reported that Apple will hold a product demonstration event for content creators and media in Los Angeles, and the issuance of media invitations further indicates that Apple has entered the final preparation stage before the release of new products.
If the relevant revelations are accurate, then this round of releases will be Apple’s last major hardware update in 2026. Products such as touch MacBook, M6 series Mac and OLED iPad mini are expected to become an important part of Apple's product lineup at the end of the year, and may also lay the foundation for the development direction of Mac and iPad in 2027.
