Read this in the Market Flux appApple is planning a second product event on or around Tuesday, October 27, where it will debut its first-ever touch-screen MacBook alongside a new iPad mini, according to Bloomberg. The announcement was reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, citing people with knowledge of the matter who asked not to be identified because the plans are not yet public.
The October 27 lineup will also include 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac models powered by M6 chips. The new MacBook Pros will be lighter than current models and feature OLED screens and the Dynamic Island interface. The new iPad mini will similarly receive an OLED display, a videoconferencing camera repositioned to the landscape side, and a revamped speaker system.
The late-October event is the second of two Apple launches planned for the month. Apple is first expected to hold a smart home-focused event on October 13, where it is set to introduce its first smart home hub with a display, a new HomePod mini, and an updated Apple TV. Apple declined to comment on either event.
