Apple’s “Pro and tell” launch is on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 10 a.m. Pacific (1 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. UTC). Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak teased it on social media on October 19. Press have reportedly been invited to a hands-on session in Los Angeles. Apple has not announced a keynote or livestream, so this live blog follows Apple Newsroom and Apple’s own product pages.

Apple has already announced three products this week by press release: the OLED iPad mini on October 26, and the M6 iMac and 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 on October 27. Pre-orders for all three open today. Bloomberg has reported that Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro, with an OLED display, is also part of this launch. Apple has not confirmed that yet.
