  • Apple is reportedly planning to launch its first touchscreen MacBook featuring an OLED display at an event expected on or around October 27.
  • The upcoming 14-inch and 16-inch touchscreen models will feature M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, a significantly lighter design, and the Dynamic Island feature.
  • The launch will also introduce an updated iPad Mini with an OLED screen alongside refreshed iMac and entry-level MacBook Pro models powered by M6 chips.
  • The release marks a reversal of Apple's long-held stance, as company executives, including Steve Jobs previously dismissed touchscreen laptops as ergonomically terrible.
  • The Mac-focused event is part of an accelerated release schedule under new chief executive John Ternus, following a smart home product event on October 13.
