Touchscreen OLED MacBooks
Per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman via VideoCardz, Apple plans to introduce its first touchscreen MacBook Pro models at an October 27 event, just two weeks after the October 13 smart home presentation. The laptops are two redesigned models, internally known as K114 and K116, and they get OLED panels, touchscreen input, and Dynamic Island replacing the display notch. They will also be lighter than the current MacBook Pro generation.
M6 Macs and the iPad mini
Alongside those redesigns, Bloomberg reports a 14 inch MacBook Pro with M6 and an updated M6 iMac, expected to keep their existing designs, with M6 already available in the Mac Mini. The iPad mini, internally J510, switches to an OLED display and is expected to move the front camera to the landscape edge and add a redesigned speaker system. The report includes no pricing or detailed specifications for the tablet, and Apple is reportedly lining up more Mac and iPad models for the first half of 2027.

Bottom Line
The big shift here is input, because a touchscreen MacBook Pro finally treats macOS like an actual tablet-class device, and OLED plus Dynamic Island is more of the iPhoneization of the Mac.
