Tech company Apple is preparing for another big launch. The company has scheduled one more event in the last week of October, on October 28, and has started sending invitations for the media event.
The tagline of the upcoming event is "Pro and tell". It is learnt that the company will launch new devices, including a MacBook Pro, an iMac and an iPad mini. The most talked-about device is the company's first touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro. However, the company has not yet shared any information about the device's specifications or launch date.
Reports say the company may unveil a new MacBook Pro at the event. New models with 14-inch and 16-inch screens are likely. The device may get an OLED display and touchscreen support for the first time. So far, MacBooks have only had options such as a trackpad and keyboard. A touchscreen could therefore bring a major change in the design of the MacBook and the way it is used.
The new model may also get a Dynamic Island interface like the iPhone. The OLED panel is likely to bring better contrast and deeper blacks. According to reports, this premium model may get the M5 Pro and M5 Max chipsets, while the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro may get an M6 chip.
The company may also launch a new 24-inch iMac with a new processor at the event. Some reports say the device may get an M6 chip. No major change in its design is likely. The company's focus will be more on the processor and performance.
A new iPad mini with an OLED display may also be launched at the event. Some reports say the device may get an updated A-series processor along with the OLED display. The front camera may be placed in a landscape position, and the speaker system may also see changes. This could make the tablet easier to use during video calls.
