Apple is gearing up to refresh the 24-inch iMac and introduce an updated entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 processor, plus new color options for both devices.

The eighth-generation iPad mini is slated for a full redesign, featuring an OLED display, an A20 Pro chip, a landscape-oriented front camera, redesigned speakers, and improved water resistance, potentially at a higher starting price.

A new M6-generation processor will power two baseline machines: the updated 24-inch iMac and the refreshed 14-inch MacBook Pro, with broader color options.

The event is described as a hands-on showcase for invited content creators rather than a traditional livestreamed keynote.

A Mac Studio refresh is planned for October, with configurations supporting up to 512GB of unified memory to appeal to professionals running large AI models.

A high-end Mac Studio configuration with 512GB of memory is also planned for late October, though its attendance at the LA event isn’t confirmed.

The LA showcase follows a separate October 13 smart-home product reveal in New York, including the HomeView control hub, the second-generation HomePod mini, and a refreshed Apple TV 4K.

The October lineup includes Apple’s smart-home products unveiled in New York, signaling a busy close to 2026 for Apple.

Apple will host a two-day private in-person showcase in Los Angeles on October 27–28, 2026, to unveil three revamped Mac computers and an upgraded iPad mini.

The Los Angeles event is designed to unveil major hardware updates, including redesigned MacBook Pro models, a refreshed iMac, and an eighth-generation iPad mini.

An additional 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip is expected for buyers who don’t need the top-tier configurations.

Pricing for the new iPad mini and related hardware is expected to rise, potentially around $799 from the current starting point of $599.
