The higher-end model is expected to feature a thinner and lighter chassis, an OLED display, and touchscreen support. It could also adopt a punch-hole camera cutout, marking a notable departure from the current design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The move to OLED could deliver deeper blacks, stronger contrast, and more vibrant colours than traditional LCD panels. Touchscreen support would also give users another way to interact with macOS, potentially making the MacBook Pro more versatile for creative work and everyday tasks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple is also expected to refresh its more affordable MacBook Pro option with an <b>M6 chip<\/b>, bringing the latest generation of Apple silicon to the 14-inch model. Meanwhile, the <b>M6-powered iMac<\/b> could receive a visual refresh with new colour options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The iPad mini could be in line for a major upgrade. Apple is reportedly preparing to bring an <b>OLED display<\/b><b> <\/b>and <b>a water-resistant design<\/b> to its smallest tablet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">An OLED panel could improve contrast and colour reproduction, making the iPad mini more appealing for watching videos, reading digital books, and browsing content. Combined with improved water resistance, these changes could strengthen its appeal as a portable reading companion and an alternative to dedicated e-book readers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The potential 27 October event would follow Apple\u2019s \u201cWelcome Home\u201d event on 13 October, which is expected to focus on smart home products, including a long-rumoured smart home hub, an updated HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Bloomberg via MacRumors<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/mobile\/apple-27-oct-launch-event-oled-macbook-pro-ipad-mini-m6-imac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is shaping up to be an extremely busy month for Apple, with a potential date for its second product launch event now emerging.
