Apple's Pro and Tell event lands October 28, with leaks pointing to its first touchscreen MacBook Pro, an OLED iPad mini, a new iMac and an M6 entry-level MacBook Pro.

Apple has launched a redesigned iPad mini with an OLED screen, A20 Pro chip and IP67 water resistance, and its marketing chief says more products are coming before Wednesday's event.

Apple has acknowledged that a small number of iPhone Duo foldables are suffering inner-display cracks near the hinge, after owners posted photos on Reddit and YouTube. Affected users can get a replacement through AppleCare, the company says.

Apple is reportedly set to unveil its first touchscreen MacBook Pro on October 28, alongside an M6-powered iMac. The OLED upgrade could add up to $500 to current starting prices.

Apple is expected to unveil touch-enabled OLED MacBook Pro models on October 28, according to Mark Gurman. The laptops reportedly keep existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips but may cost hundreds more than current versions.

Apple's cheapest MacBook, the Neo, runs a modified iPhone 16 Pro chip instead of an M-series processor. At $700, it undercuts the newly pricier MacBook Air, though 8GB of RAM and limited ports reveal the savings.

Apple is reportedly testing iPhone Duo 2 prototypes with Face ID hidden under the outer display, addressing complaints that the first foldable iPhone shipped with only a Touch ID side button.

Ahead of its October 23 launch, iPhone Duo units are reportedly arriving at Apple Stores for auditing, with leaked unboxings surfacing online. Apple is also said to be canceling orders from buyers who exceeded a two-unit limit.

Apple is developing a robotic, 9-inch version of HomeView — but Gurman says it’s a future-tier product, not a near-term replacement.

Apple is expected to introduce HomeView, a Siri command center with a display and facial recognition, at its Welcome Home event Tuesday, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

Apple's upcoming smart home screen is reportedly named HomeView. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the device runs an A18 processor, comes in tabletop and wall-mounted styles, and arrives in mid-November.

Apple has tested microphones built directly into the next Apple TV 4K alongside a Siri Remote with an onboard speaker, ahead of an expected October event.

Apple is targeting an October 27 event to unveil an updated iPad mini featuring an A20 Pro processor and an LTPS OLED display, according to recent leaks.

Apple is reportedly lining up an October 27 hardware launch featuring redesigned MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens, an M6 iMac, and an upgraded iPad mini.
