Apple stages a special event in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 28, dubbed “Pro and Tell.” Ahead of the gathering, Cupertino has been busy teasing out a host of new core Apple hardware since the start of the week, previewing updates across its desktop and laptop lineups alongside a new tablet version.
The announcements so far include new M6 models for the iMac all-in-one desktop and the 14-inch MacBook Pro, as well as an OLED-screen version of the iPad mini. However, early rumors point to a major unrevealed product expected to take center stage during the Los Angeles showcase.
Hardware Teasers and Early Announcements
Leading up to the Wednesday morning showcase, Apple utilized the earlier days of the week to detail several core hardware additions. The pre-event reveals brought the M6 chip upgrade to the iMac all-in-one desktop and introduced a new M6 iteration for the 14-inch MacBook Pro. In addition to the desktop and laptop updates, Cupertino detailed a new version of the iPad mini featuring an OLED screen.
Expected Big Reveal in Los Angeles
Despite the steady stream of hardware teasers, early rumors indicate that the primary attraction of the “Pro and Tell” event will be the introduction of the first touch-screen MacBook. Industry expectations suggest this device will likely be paired with an OLED screen. Based on the event’s naming hint, observers anticipate the touch-screen hardware will debut as a MacBook Pro model.
