Apple unveiled a MacBook Pro with a tandem OLED touchscreen capable of 2,000 nits of brightness in both standard and HDR content, shown at a Los Angeles media event. The panel uses a redesigned version of the layered OLED tech found in the iPad Pro, re-engineered from the manufacturing process up to boost brightness and reduce glare.
Apple's newly announced lineup—an OLED iPad mini, M6-powered MacBook Pro and iMac, and its first touchscreen MacBook Pro—is now available for pre-order on Amazon, with prices starting at $699 for the iPad mini and reaching $3,399 for the 16-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro. The touchscreen model also introduces Apple's first OLED Mac display and Dynamic Island feature. All devices are set to ship starting November 6.
Apple is releasing its first MacBook Pro with a touchscreen, the 'MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display,' on Nov. 6. The hinge still only tilts to standard laptop angles rather than folding flat or back like a tablet, and MacOS itself shows little visible adaptation for touch input.
Apple's latest MacBook Pro introduces a PROLED XDR (OLED) display, touch support, and modern OS features like the Dynamic Island, according to a writer who has used the iPad Pro as a primary computer since 2015. The reviewer says they have ordered the new laptop to test as a potential full-time replacement, but notes it lacks a cellular connectivity option that exists on iPad Pro models.
Apple's newly announced MacBook Pro models use a tandem OLED display the company brands PROLED XDR, built on the same stacked-panel technology introduced with the M4 iPad Pro. Apple states the screens reach up to 2,000 nits peak HDR brightness and a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, surpassing the 1,600-nit Mini LED displays in current models, while also covering wide P3 and HDR color ranges.
Apple's eighth-generation iPad Mini now features an 8.5-inch OLED display, thinner bezels, and peak brightness up to 1,200 nits, though it remains capped at 60Hz refresh rate. The device runs on an A20 Pro chip, with 128GB and 256GB models getting five CPU cores and the 512GB version getting six, and includes an 'Acoustic Display' system with woofers built into the screen for improved bass. Pricing starts at $699 in starlight and midnight colors, with preorders open now and a release date of November 6th.
Apple unveiled redesigned 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with a Tandem OLED touch display, a lighter build and a glowing Apple logo, alongside a more modest 14-inch MacBook Pro refresh with the M6 chip. The company also introduced an M6 iMac starting at $1,499 and an updated iPad Mini with a larger OLED screen, water resistance and a slimmer design. Preorders are open now, with devices shipping November 6th; the standard 14-inch model is available via Apple and Best Buy, while the OLED MacBook Pro is currently Apple-exclusive.
Apple is taking preorders for its newest iPad Mini, which ships November 6th starting at $699 through retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Apple itself. The 8.5-inch model brings OLED display technology to the Mini line for the first time, along with the new A20 Pro chip, an N1 wireless chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and an optional C2 modem for faster cellular speeds.
Apple held an invite-only event in Los Angeles to reveal a redesigned MacBook Pro featuring a touchscreen display, the first true touch-enabled Mac laptop. The announcement follows this week's quieter M6 chip updates to the MacBook Pro and iMac, and Monday's new OLED iPad Mini. The Verge attended in person, noting the event had no public livestream and a brief keynote similar to the earlier MacBook Neo launch.
Apple's redesigned iPad Mini, available for pre-order starting at $699, includes an A20 Pro chip and an OLED display with glare reduction. It also carries an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, the first time any iPad model has offered that protection, alongside a thinner and lighter build measuring 5.4mm and 255g.
Apple unveiled the eighth-generation iPad mini with a new OLED screen reaching 1,200 nits peak brightness and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, plus a slightly larger 8.5-inch display in a lighter, narrower body. The tablet runs the A20 Pro chip also found in the iPhone 18 Pro, adds a C2 modem for faster cellular speeds, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity via an N1 chip, and now carries an IP67 water-resistance rating. Storage starts at 128GB, with nano-texture glass display options available on 256GB and 512GB configurations for an added cost.
Apple has published a YouTube ad and a one-minute promo video for its newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro powered by the M6 chip. The laptop starts at $1,999, with pre-orders opening October 28 and availability beginning November 6, and includes a 12-core CPU, 12-core GPU, dual 16-core Neural Engine, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6.
