GoKawiilApple may hold second October event for touchscreen MacBook, new iPad
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple is planning a late-October hardware event, separate from its October 13 HomeKit launch, that could introduce its first touchscreen MacBook. The event may also bring an OLED iPad mini and M6 updates to the iMac and 14-inch MacBook Pro.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
A touchscreen MacBook would mark a reversal of Apple's long-standing resistance to touch laptops, following reports that macOS 27 preview builds already contain expanded touch support. The move could signal Apple is gradually blending iPad and Mac interfaces, though it reportedly plans to keep the two product lines distinct rather than merge them into a 2-in-1 device.
- A possible late-October Apple event could be its fourth hardware launch this fall
- A touchscreen MacBook, long rumored, may finally debut alongside other devices
- An OLED iPad mini and M6 iMac/MacBook Pro updates are also reportedly expected
