Apple is preparing to hold a new technical event under the slogan 'Pro and tell', scheduled to launch on October 28 in Los Angeles. This announcement comes shortly after the company's previous events, this time targeting its laptop product line and some tablet and desktop devices.
Leaks and expectations indicate that the event may witness the long-awaited unveiling of the first MacBook Pro laptops equipped with touchscreens and OLED technology. Although the name 'MacBook Ultra' has been circulating in rumors, it is unlikely that Apple will rename its flagship laptop line. These laptops are expected to retain the current M5 processor series (M5 Pro and M5 Max), while incorporating design elements similar to the Dynamic Island, while maintaining the macOS experience without turning the device into a hybrid similar to iPad devices.
Hardware updates including tablets and desktops
In addition to the flagship laptops, followers are anticipating other updates in the Apple ecosystem. These updates include a new version of the base MacBook Pro laptops that may receive M6 processors and a modified design that includes a front-facing hole-punch camera, with the possibility of price increases due to component shortages in the market. iMac computers are also expected to receive an upgrade to M6 processors with new color options.
Regarding tablets, expectations point to the imminent launch of a new version of the iPad Mini with an OLED screen, which represents a gradual shift for iPad tablet screens away from traditional LCD technology, along with an expected upgrade to the device's processor.
What does this event mean for users?
The upcoming conference represents a pivotal point for Apple in integrating tablet screen technologies and touch experience into its laptops for the first time. However, current data confirms that the company is adopting a conservative approach to integrating interfaces without radical changes to the operating system, while focusing on hardware upgrades and new-generation processors that serve professional users and those seeking higher performance.
