Apple spent October announcing more new hardware than it usually manages in a whole quarter, and the India prices and sale dates for all of it are now out. The spread runs from an Rs 82,900 iPad mini to a touchscreen MacBook Pro that starts at Rs 3,49,900, with five other devices landing in between.
The HomePod mini 2 is first out the door, going on sale October 30 at Rs 18,900. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple's M6 chip follows on November 6, priced from Rs 2,39,900, alongside the refreshed 24-inch iMac (from Rs 1,74,900) and the OLED iPad mini, which starts at Rs 82,900 for Wi-Fi and Rs 1,00,900 for the cellular version. The touchscreen MacBook Pro arrives November 9 at Rs 3,49,900 for the 14-inch size and Rs 4,09,900 for 16 inches. Apple TV 4K and the new HomeView smart display both show up on November 13, each priced at Rs 39,900.
A tandem OLED Mac, finally
The headline product here is still the touchscreen MacBook Pro, Apple's first laptop with a tandem OLED panel, what the company brands PROLED XDR. Tandem OLED stacks two OLED layers to push brightness higher than a single-layer panel can manage without burning through battery, and Apple quotes 2,000 nits peak brightness, 120Hz refresh and P3 plus Adobe RGB colour coverage, with a nano-texture option for glare. It runs on M5 Pro or M5 Max chips rather than the newer M6, and Apple says it supports scrolling, zooming, dragging and direct annotation through touch, with macOS adapted for finger input and a Dynamic Island borrowed from the iPhone. Memory tops out at 128GB, storage at 16TB, and Apple claims up to 24 hours of battery life.
