Apple Could Owe Even More After
Apple could face additional payments on top of a $5.7 billion patent verdict, with Taction Technology asking a federal judge for more damages, interest, and royalties on future iPhone and Apple Watch sales. The request follows a September jury verdict that Apple's Taptic Engine infringed two Taction patents covering haptic feedback, the technology that produces taps and vibrations in devices. Apple disputes the verdict and is seeking to have it overturned or obtain a new trial. According to Reuters , Taction says the $5.7 billion award covers sales from 2021 through to late March 2026. It now wants compensation for approximately six more months of sales that were not included in the jury's initial calculation. Taction is also asking for interest on the damages at an annual rate of 7%, citing California law. That could increase the amount by hundreds of millions of dollars. Separately, it wants interest to continue accumulating after the court enters its final judgment until Apple pays. The company's request also extends to future sales. Taction wants Apple to pay royalties on devices using the disputed technology until the patents expire on September 24, 2035. Under its proposal, Apple would report U.S. sales every quarter and pay within 30 days of the quarter ending. Moreover, Taction argues that newer models, including the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple Watch Series 12, should also be covered because their relevant technology has not changed enough to escape the patent claims. To support that position, it points to Apple's earlier litigation against Samsung, in which Apple argued that royalties should extend to newer products with essentially the same infringing technology. Apple maintains that its Taptic Engine is fundamentally different from Taction's technology. It has also challenged the size of the jury's award , arguing that the evidence did not support the $5.7 billion calculation, and has said it will appeal.

Apple Highlights Mac and iPad Use in Paris Design Exhibition
Apple has showcased four design projects created using its products for this year's Designers of Tomorrow exhibition in Paris. The exhibition explores the theme of presence through furniture and lighting. Architect Salem S. Charabi used a MacBook Pro to sketch and model a lantern, while designer Yoonjeong Lee used an iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil to develop ideas for a combined table and lamp. Isabel Rower used an iPhone to document her work and Keynote to experiment with visual ideas for a chair featuring ceramic bead fringe. Parafernalia founders Genki Matsumura and Sebastin Zorrilla used Procreate, Messages, and FaceTime to collaborate between Monterrey and Mexico City on a steel piece that opens into a table and stools. Now in its second year, the program is organized with Design Miami and curated by Rodman Primack. Apple's Molly Anderson helped select the participants as a member of the jury. The exhibition opened at Htel de Maisons on October 20. See Apple's full press release for more information.

Apple Seeks 6G Modem Engineers as It Plans for Post-5G iPhones
Apple is continuing to work on 6G, the successor to 5G that's on track to be ready sometime around 2030. Apple has been preparing for the eventual launch of the 6G standard since at least 2020. Apple is hiring a 6G Cellular Modem Systems Engineer who will define and build the next generation of cellular technology as the company transitions to 6G. Apple designs its own modems now, so it will need to be ready when 6G rolls out. 6G is still under development. Spectrum bands haven't been established, and official performance requirements won't be formally approved until later this year. 6G goals include faster data upload speeds, lower latency, and better power efficiency. 5G is already used for home internet, and that will likely expand with 6G. Companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Nokia, Samsung, and Ericsson are doing 6G research. Apple is a founding member of the Next G Alliance, an industry group established by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) to advance 6G in North America.

First iPhone Duo Unboxing Video Appears Ahead of Friday Launch
With just a couple of days to go until the iPhone Duo launches, the first unboxing video has surfaced online from someone who managed to get a device early. The iPhone Duo ships flat instead of folded, and it is otherwise packaged like any other iPhone. We've already seen first impressions from members of the media who tried the iPhone Duo in person, but the unboxing video is the first look from outside the press. We're expecting iPhone Duo reviews to go live as soon as tomorrow, and the device will launch on October 23. New iPhone Duos purchased from Apple's online store won't arrive until January 25, and Apple hasn't said whether stores will have the iPhone Duo for walk-in purchases on the 23rd. Apple's website is telling people to check back for in-store stock on the 24th, and some Apple retail employees are reportedly being told to warn customers there likely won't be launch-day stock. Apple's websites in Japan, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates say the iPhone Duo will be limited to customers with a pickup reservation .

iPad Mini 8 Expected Next Week With These 10 New Features
Apple reportedly plans to unveil an iPad mini 8 with an OLED display next week, with those invited to Apple's Los Angeles experience on Wednesday, October 28 expected to receive hands-on time with the device, alongside MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays , a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, and an iMac with an M6 chip. Here are 10 new features and changes expected for the iPad mini 8: Apple's latest A20 Pro chip , manufactured with TSMC's advanced 2nm process. Expect up to around 1.5 faster CPU performance and up to around 2.5 faster GPU performance compared to the A17 Pro chip in the current iPad mini. A20 Pro also introduces a dual 16-core Neural Engine for a total of 32 cores. With the A20 Pro chip, the next iPad mini will have 12GB of RAM , up from 8GB of RAM in the current model. This means the device will support the ability to customize the pace and expressiveness of Siri AI's voice . A slightly larger OLED display with better overall image quality compared to the current LCD model, thanks to richer colors and higher contrast ratio with true blacks. Apple has apparently tested both 60Hz and 120Hz (ProMotion) refresh rates for the new model, but it is unclear which option it chose. Slimmer bezels around the display compared to the current model. Landscape front camera , meaning the camera will be in the right bezel instead of the top bezel when holding the device in an upright position. Apple's custom-designed N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 support. Apple's custom-designed C1X or C2 modem for cellular configurations. A redesigned speaker system with no speaker holes and potentially an iPhone earpiece-like speaker in the top bezel. IP-rated water resistance for the first time. In the U.S., the current iPad mini starts at $599 after receiving a $100 price increase in June , which Apple attributed to skyrocketing RAM and storage chip prices. With a costlier OLED display, the next model might be even more expensive .

Apple just gave me a reason to keep my 6-year-old HomePod mini
Macworld For years, the HomePod mini has been my go-to speaker for everyday listening at home. It sounds great, looks sleek, and deeply integrates into the Apple ecosystemall for just $99 (at least back I bought one when it launched). When Apple unveiled the HomePod mini 2 last week, I was tempted to replace my fully functional stereo pair solely to get the new software exclusives, such as Siri AI. That was until I installed the OS 27.2 update, which brings enough of the second-generation experience to the original HomePod mini to minimize my urge to upgrade. Quite the glow-up Sound Glow essentially brings the Dynamic Islands animated waveform to the HomePod. The brand-new feature extracts the most prominent colors in a playing songs album art and displays them on the HomePods touchscreen. The hues dynamically pulsate in sync with the tracks rhythm, reflecting the bass and treble in real time. While it technically doesnt change how a song sounds, it does make the listening experience significantly more immersive and enjoyable. I had assumed Apple would restrict Sound Glow to the HomePod mini 2, as my first-generation stereo pair is always within my sight when working, and such a feature would matter to me. The Music app on my Apple TV 4K 3 already provided a similar visualizer on the big screen; having my HomePod minis react with the same palette would contribute to the overall ambience. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Sound Glow is actually supported on all HomePodsexcluding the original full-size model. After installing iOS 27.2 on my iPhone and its HomePod equivalent on my speakers, I was able to turn on and use Sound Glow on my 2020 minis just fine. Now they feel significantly more vibrant and energetic when blasting bops on them. My old HomePod mini is getting new lights and features to match the 2nd-gen model. Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Ghost buster Many users have had to discard their otherwise functional HomePods because of the somewhat widespread phantom touch issue. The flaw repeatedly triggers the affected HomePods touchscreen without any user input, pausing/playing music and controlling the volume in a chaotic manner. The latest OS update fixes the issue with a Lock Controls toggle in the Home app that optionally disables the touchscreen. So, whenever your HomePod starts misbehaving, you can kill touch input altogether and continue to rely on the otherwise functional speaker using voice commands or your iPhone. Turning a blind AI While OS 27.2 does not activate Siri AI on my original HomePod minis, the feature is arguably inessential in this context. The classic Siri generally works well for basic audio playback commands, and I tend to have longer, more complicated conversations with Siri AI using the keyboard on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Plus, the new HomePod mini 2 sells for $149, so upgrading my stereo pair would cost me another $300. It would make more sense to maintain my current HomePod setup and instead buy a HomeView for a similar price. This would unlock Siri AI and provide an always-on display as a bonus. Until Apple releases a meaningful upgrade, I will continue to rely on my trusty 6-year-old HomePod minis without a problem. HomePod Software and iOS 27.2 will launch to the general public next weekpotentially on Monday, October 26with the Sound Glow and Lock Controls features. To try them early, you can sign up for Apples beta program and download the Release Candidate builds currently available.

OpenAI Announces Humanoid Robot Debut For 2027
OpenAI , the renowned creator of ChatGPT , is officially expanding its technological footprint into physical hardware. During an appearance on Fortune magazines Sources podcast hosted by Alyson Shontell , company CEO Sam Altman confirmed that OpenAI is actively developing a humanoid robot , with its first public demonstration slated for 2027 . According to Altman, the primary engineering challenge behind the humanoid project lies in developing an advanced artificial brain . This system must possess the capability to analyze complex environments in real time while simultaneously processing and responding to human commands. For example, a functional robot must be able to handle fragile items, such as glass, by calculating exact grip strength, trajectory, and speed to prevent breakage. To overcome these hurdles, OpenAI leverages its foundational Dactyl project , which initially trained robotic hands to manipulate delicate objects using virtual simulations. This framework now drives the development of customized motors and actuators designed to translate digital intelligence seamlessly into precise physical movements. By modeling the hardware after a human body structure, the robot will be versatile enough to operate across virtually any environment with minimal modification, thereby optimizing manufacturing and operational costs. While the premier demonstration is scheduled for 2027, commercial consumer availability for domestic environments remains years away. Initial production units will focus heavily on industrial infrastructure and construction applications , positioning OpenAI to compete directly in a crowded market alongside established robotics competitors like Tesla, Samsung, Figure AI, and BYD. This strategic switch underscores OpenAIs broader ambition to bridge advanced artificial intelligence with physical automation. As development progresses, industry experts anticipate that the intersection of generative AI models and robotics hardware will accelerate automation trends across global markets, marking a transformative milestone for the artificial intelligence sector in the coming years.

How An Apple Watch Alert Saved A U.S. Air Force Veteran
Wearable technology continues to prove its value in healthcare. David Aladejobi , a 38-year-old U.S. Air Force veteran , discovered a potentially life-threatening condition thanks to health tracking features on his Apple Watch Ultra . Initially, Aladejobi received a notification on his smartwatch warning him of suspected sleep apnea , a serious medical disorder characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep. Unfamiliar with the condition and busy with daily routines, Aladejobi initially dismissed the alert. However, after reflecting on his chronic snoring and persistent morning headaches, he decided to take action. He shared a screenshot of the smartwatch notification with his primary care physician, who noted that his headaches could indeed be linked to poor sleep quality. Following a formal referral, Aladejobi underwent comprehensive evaluations at a specialized medical clinic. The clinical results confirmed an official sleep apnea diagnosis . Medical professionals emphasized that untreated sleep apnea carries severe health risks, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular complications, and even an increased risk of premature mortality. To monitor respiratory patterns, Apple smartwatches utilize an internal accelerometer to track subtle physical movements associated with breathing disturbances over a period of time. Users typically need to wear the device consistently for thirty days across at least ten nights to allow the algorithm to detect signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea. Grateful for the early warning, Aladejobi now advocates for paying close attention to smartwatch health data. He currently manages his condition by using a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) every night, significantly improving his sleep quality and overall well-being. Medical experts echo his sentiment, encouraging users not to ignore diagnostic notifications from wearables, as these accessible tools can bridge the gap between early detection and professional medical intervention.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro: OLED, design and release date rumors
Macworld Apple could be just days away from unveiling its first touchscreen MacBook Pro. The company is holding a media event on October 28, 2026 , when it is expected to reveal the first touchscreen MacBook Pro as part of one of the biggest redesigns in the laptops history, combining a new chassis with Apples first OLED MacBook display and potentially even an iPhone-style Dynamic Island camera cutout. If the rumors are accurate, this could be one of the biggest changes to the MacBook Pro in its history. The touchscreen MacBook Pro has been the subject of speculation ever since Bloombergs Mark Gurman first reported in 2023 that Apple was exploring the idea. At the time, the claim seemed hard to believe given Apples long-standing opposition to touchscreen laptops. Three years later, however, multiple reports suggest Apple has overcome the technical and design challenges that previously stood in the way. The timing would be fitting. The MacBook Pro celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2026, and Apple could mark the milestone with a feature many believed would never come to the Mac. Touchscreen support would also help further differentiate the MacBook Pro from the MacBook Air and the budget-friendly MacBook Neo. The redesigned touchscreen MacBook Pro is expected to be a premium model featuring M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, rather than the newer M6 chip. Apple is separately preparing a standard 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro, which is expected to retain the existing design. For more on that model, see our M6 MacBook Pro release date and specs guide . There are still questions over pricing and availability. OLED panels and ongoing supply-chain pressures could make the touchscreen models more expensive than todays MacBook Pro, while touch support is expected to remain exclusive to Apples premium laptops initially. Read on for everything we know about the touchscreen MacBook Pros expected release date, design, specifications and price, including what Apple could announce on October 28. Touchscreen MacBook Pro release date: When will it launch? Apple media experience confirmed for October 28; touchscreen MacBook Pro announcement expected On October 19, Apple announced a media event, dubbed Pro and Tell on October 28, 2026 . This is expected to be the introduction of new Macs, including the touchscreen MacBook Pro. Cant wait to pro and tell next week. pic.twitter.com/3wUkxwq35i Greg Joswiak (@gregjoz) October 19, 2026 Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported on October 8 that Apple plans to announce its first touchscreen MacBook on October 27 . The launch will reportedly include an online video presentation and an in-person component for the press on October 28. In his Power On podcast , Gurman said the laptop will start shipping on November 6. Earlier reports offered a broader launch window and raised the possibility of delays. Speaking in a Power On podcast on October 1, Gurman said he expected the touchscreen MacBook announcement as early as October, potentially slipping to November. The laptops are reportedly being tested with macOS 27.2. In September 2026, Bloombergs Mark Gurman included the touchscreen MacBooks in a list of products that will ship in late 2026/early 2027. Bloombergs Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo both initially predicted a late 2026 debut, with an October announcement fitting Apples traditional MacBook Pro release schedule while also coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the MacBook Pros introduction. In January, South Korean blog Naver reported that Samsung had begun production on its new 8.6-generation OLED manufacturing line , which is expected to supply panels for the next-generation MacBook Pro, further supporting that timeframe. Gurman also reported in February that the redesigned MacBook Pro would arrive in the back half of 2026. Gurmans more recent reporting points to an October announcement and November availability. However, the launch was previously predicted for early 2027. In April, Gurman reported that supply-chain constraints were affecting development of the redesigned MacBook Pro and could push the release into early 2027 . He subsequently reported in June that Apple had revised its chip roadmap , with the touchscreen MacBook Pro now expected to launch with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips instead of M6 Pro and M6 Max in an effort to keep the project on schedule. Which MacBook models will get a touchscreen? Current rumours suggest that Apples first touchscreen laptop will be a redesigned MacBook Pro with Pro and Max chips Both Bloombergs Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo have reported that Apple is developing MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreen displays as part of a major redesign. The feature is expected to debut on the high-end MacBook Pro models powered by Apples Pro and Max chips, making them the first Macs to support direct touch input. Apple is expected to use the touchscreen as a key differentiator for its professional laptops, further separating the MacBook Pro from the more affordable MacBook Air and MacBook Neo. There is also speculation that Apple could rebrand the flagship model as the MacBook Ultra. According to one report from a source said to be familiar with Apples plans, the company intends to expand its Ultra branding beyond the Mac Studio and Apple silicon chips. However, this claim has not been corroborated by Bloombergs Mark Gurman or analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, so it should be treated with caution. For now, the technology appears set to remain exclusive to the MacBook Pro lineup. Neither the MacBook Air nor the MacBook Neo is expected to gain touchscreen support in the near term. However, Kuo believes Apple could eventually expand the technology to other MacBook models if the touchscreen MacBook Pro proves successful. The MacBook Air may be the next candidate for a touchscreen upgrade, but current forecasts suggest this is unlikely before 2028 or 2029. Some reports also indicate that the Air could adopt OLED display technology before then, albeit without touch functionality. Touchscreen MacBook Pro Design Lighter design expected Punch hole for the FaceTime camera The last time Apple included touch with the MacBook was the TouchBar, which was a flop. But this time could it work out better for Apple? Foundry Apples touchscreen MacBook Pro is expected to have a substantially lighter design than current models, but it may not be significantly thinner . Bloombergs Mark Gurman has revised his earlier expectations for a slimmer body while maintaining that Apple has redesigned and consolidated internal components to reduce weight. One of the most significant visual changes could be the removal of the display notch. Reports from display analysts and Bloomberg suggest Apple may replace the current notch with a hole-punch camera cutout, allowing for more usable screen space around the sensor. In early 2026, Gurman went a step further, claiming the new MacBook Pro could adopt an iPhone-like Dynamic Island interface built around the camera cutout. The touchscreen MacBook Pro is also expected to retain its traditional laptop design, complete with a full keyboard and large trackpad, rather than becoming a hybrid tablet device. Other rumoured design changes include: A lighter chassis, although the latest reporting suggests it may not be thinner. OLED display technology. A hole-punch FaceTime camera replacing the notch. Possible Dynamic Island-style functionality. A reinforced hinge designed to minimise screen movement when the display is touched. These changes would help distinguish the MacBook Pro from the MacBook Air and the entry-level MacBook Neo while giving Apples flagship laptop its most substantial design update in years. Which chip will feature in the touchscreen MacBook? M5 Pro and M5 Max Early rumors suggested that Apples first touchscreen MacBook Pro would feature M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, but more recent reports indicate that Apple has changed its plans. The redesigned OLED models are now expected to launch with M5 Pro and M5 Max processors, with Apple potentially skipping the M6 Pro and M6 Max generation entirely. According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman in June 2026, Apple has revised its chip roadmap to accelerate development of the AI-focused M7 generation. The change could bring the M7 chips to market around six months earlier, with significantly improved on-device AI capabilities. The ongoing DRAM and NAND shortages may also have influenced Apples decision, although they are not thought to be the primary reason. Apple has already increased Mac and iPad prices in response to rising memory costs. Read more about Apples reported chip roadmap changes . Separately, Apple is reportedly planning to launch the 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip . There has also been speculation that Apple could introduce its own 5G modem to a future MacBook Pro, enabling cellular connectivity without Wi-Fi or an iPhone hotspot. However, there is little concrete evidence that cellular connectivity will be part of the touchscreen redesign. Touchscreen MacBook Display Tandem OLED display Touchscreen interface The display is expected to be the headline upgrade of Apples redesigned MacBook Pro. Multiple reports suggest Apple will replace the current Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED) panel with a touchscreen OLED display, bringing MacBook Pro technology closer to the Ultra Retina XDR display used in the latest iPad Pro. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is planning to introduce OLED touch panels in the MacBook Pro in late 2026 or early 2027. The new display is expected to be thinner, more power-efficient, and capable of delivering deeper blacks, higher contrast, richer colours, and improved HDR performance than todays mini-LED screens. Reports indicate that both the 14-inch and 16-inch models will use advanced tandem OLED technology, which combines two OLED layers to achieve higher brightness levels while maintaining excellent energy efficiency. Apple first introduced this technology with the M4 iPad Pro and is expected to bring a similar implementation to the MacBook Pro. The touchscreen functionality will reportedly rely on on-cell touch technology, which integrates touch sensors directly into the display rather than adding a separate layer. This approach helps keep the panel thin while supporting multi-touch input. If the rumours prove accurate, the move to a tandem OLED touchscreen would represent the biggest display upgrade in the MacBook Pros history and one of the most significant changes to the lineup in years. The iPad Pro has a tandem OLED display, the type of display that could make its way into the 2026 MacBook Pro. Brady Snyder / Foundry Touchscreen MacBook Interface macOS 27 could have some hidden touchscreen features. Foundry Apple is not expected to turn macOS into iPadOS, but reports suggest macOS 27 could include subtle design changes to make the Mac easier to use with touch input. Rather than replacing the traditional desktop experience, Apple is reportedly working on a touch-tuned interface that adapts depending on how the device is being used. When touch input is detected, interface elements such as menus, buttons, and controls may automatically enlarge to make them easier to tap. When using a mouse or trackpad, macOS would revert to its familiar point-and-click layout. The touchscreen itself is expected to support standard gestures such as tapping, scrolling, and zooming, while still allowing users to switch between touch, trackpad, and mouse input. Further clues appeared in the macOS 27.2 beta on October 5. MacRumors reported new code references to touch gestures in Safari, Photos, Notes and Quick Look. These could support a future touchscreen MacBook, but they could also relate to Sidecar, which allows an iPad to act as a Mac display. More specific clues appeared in footage shared by itspdfu on October 14. The footage reportedly shows touch-oriented behavior in Safari in macOS 27.2 betas 3 and 4: tabs lift and enlarge while being rearranged, then return to their normal size when dropped into place. Pressing and holding a tab opens a contextual menu that omits the Ask Siri option available with a mouse or trackpad. These changes suggest Apple is preparing Safari for touch input. Touchscreen MacBook Pro: Connectivity 5G connectivity could finally come to the Mac The C1X is now available, but the C2 modem could arrive with the 2026 MacBook Pro. Apple Beyond the touchscreen display and redesigned chassis, one of the most intriguing rumours surrounding the next-generation MacBook Pro is built-in cellular connectivity. Apple has spent the past several years developing its own modem technology, beginning with the C-series modem family. Reports suggest the company has explored bringing 5G connectivity to the MacBook lineup, allowing users to connect directly to mobile networks without relying on Wi-Fi or a smartphone hotspot. In August 2025, Macworld reported that internal Apple code referenced a MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip and Apples C1 modem . This suggests Apple has experimented with cellular-equipped MacBooks, althogugh it does not establish that the upcoming touchscreen models will offer 5G. The redesigned MacBook Pro could also benefit from Apples growing portfolio of wireless chips. The companys N-series networking processors, which handle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread connectivity, may eventually replace third-party components throughout the Mac lineup. An updated version of the chip could debut alongside the touchscreen MacBook Pro, improving power efficiency and tighter integration with Apples ecosystem. Touchscreen MacBook Pro: Price expectations Apple will likely offer similar configurations to the current MacBook Pro models, but its unclear how much of a premium a touchscreen OLED display will command. Apple upped the price of the iPad Pro by $200 when it got a tandem OLED, so its likely the touchscreen MacBook Pro will have a higher starting price. Here are the prices for the current standard configurations of the M5 MacBook Pro, which saw prices increase between $300 and $500 in June 2026. 14-inch MacBook Pro $1,999/1,999: M5 with a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, Thunderbolt 4 $2,499/2,499: M5 Pro with a 15-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 24GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, Thunderbolt 5 $4,099/4,099: M5 Max with a 18-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 36GB unified memory, 2TB SSD, Thunderbolt 5 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,999/2,999: M5 Pro with a 18-core CPU and 20-core GPU, 24GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, Thunderbolt 5 $4,399/4,399: M5 Max with a 18-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 36GB unified memory, 2TB SSD, Thunderbolt 5

Should you buy the MacBook Pro now or wait for the M6 or Touchscreen MacBook?
Macworld If you can postpone buying a MacBook Pro, we recommend waiting until Apples Pro and Tell media experience on October 28. Apple has confirmed that there will be gathering (not an Event as such), and the Pro and Tell name strongly suggests a MacBook Pro will be amount the new products. Reports point to two distinct updates: an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip and the existing design, and redesigned premium MacBook Pro with OLED touchscreen and M5 Pro or M5 Max processors. Their specifications, prices and availability remain unconfirmed. The redesigned MacBook Pro models, meanwhile, could introduce thinner and lighter bodies, OLED touchscreens, and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips becoming Apples first With Apples next event approaching, wed recommend waiting unless you need a MacBook Pro immediately or find a particularly good discount on the current M5 models. Apple increased MacBook Pro prices by $300 to $500 in June 2026, so discounts and refurbished models remain worth considering. The MacBook Pro is best suited to creative professionals, software developers, engineers and other power users who need sustained performance, a premium display, plenty of ports and high memory configurations. If your workload consists mainly of web browsing, office work, studying or light creative tasks, the MacBook Air is likely to offer better value at a much lower price. In this guide, well explain whether you should buy now or wait, which MacBook Pro is right for you, the best times of year to buy, todays best deals, and whether a refurbished model or MacBook Air might be a better choice. Should you buy a MacBook Pro now? Wait until Apples October 28 experience and associated announcements if your current laptop can meet your needs until then. Youll be able to assess any new models before committing to a purchase. Buying an existing model can still make sense if you need a replacement immediately or find a substantial discount. Buy a MacBook Pro now if: Youre upgrading from an Intel Mac: Apple is ending support for Intel Macs, so if you havent yet switched to Apple Silicon, now is a good time to do so. As Intel Macs reach the end of support, theyll stop receiving security updates, leaving them vulnerable to newly discovered security flaws. You need a new laptop: If your current Mac is broken, unreliable or slowing you down, theres little reason to wait. You edit video or create content: Whether youre editing 4K video, working in Photoshop or Lightroom, producing music or creating 3D graphics, the MacBook Pro delivers the sustained performance creative professionals need. Youre a software developer, engineer or AI professional: Compiling code, running virtual machines, working with AI models or processing large datasets is much faster on the MacBook Pro, particularly the M5 Pro and M5 Max models. You need sustained performance: Unlike the fanless MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro uses active cooling to maintain peak performance during long exports, renders and other demanding workloads. You need professional features: The MacBook Pro offers a Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe charging and higher memory and storage options than the MacBook Air. You find an excellent deal: A discounted current model may be worthwhile if it meets your needs. Compare the saving against the benefits of waiting for Apples announcements, and dont assume prices will fall further. When shouldnt you buy a MacBook Pro? The MacBook Pro is an excellent laptop, but it isnt the right choice for everyone. If you dont need its extra performance or professional features, youll save money and probably be just as happy with a MacBook Air. There are also a few situations where its worth waiting rather than buying today. Dont buy a MacBook Pro now if: You want the M6 model: Wait to see whether Apple introduces the expected entry-level 14-inch update. Dont assume its newer chip will make it more powerful than the premium Pro and Max configurations. Youre waiting for the redesign : Hold off until Apples announcements. The rumored OLED touchscreen models could offer a more substantial change than a processor upgrade. You want the next-generation chips: The entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is expected to gain the M6 chip on October 27, bringing improvements in CPU, GPU, and AI performance. Youre looking for the best price: With new MacBook Pro models reportedly arriving soon, discounts on the existing M5 generation could become more attractive. Black Friday may bring further savings. You mainly use your laptop for everyday tasks: If your workload consists of web browsing, Microsoft Office, streaming, email, video calls or light photo editing, a MacBook Air offers excellent performance for much less money. Youre a student with basic computing needs: If your coursework mainly involves writing essays, researching online or creating presentations, a MacBook Air is likely to be the better value. Portability is your priority: The MacBook Air is thinner, lighter and completely silent thanks to its fanless design. Youre on a budget: The MacBook Air delivers outstanding performance for most users while costing significantly less than the MacBook Pro. For most people, the MacBook Air is the better buy. The MacBook Pro only comes into its own if you regularly run demanding professional workloads that benefit from its active cooling, more powerful chips, superior display, additional ports and higher memory options. Should I buy a MacBook Pro: At a glance Your situation Recommendation Need a laptop now Buy now The M5 models are excellent Still using Intel Upgrade, but wait until Apples October 28 announcements Using an M1, M2 or M3 MacBook Pro Wait see what the M6 offers On an M4 Pro or M4 Max MacBook Pro Keep your Mac little reason to upgrade yet Want OLED and a touchscreen Wait for the redesigned M5 Pro/Max models Want the lowest price Look for M5 clearance deals and Black Friday discounts MacBook Pro: Current line up If you can wait, compare Apples announcements around October 28 with the models below before choosing. Check the actual processor configuration, display, memory, storage and price against your workload, rather than choosing solely by chip-generation number.

When is the best time to buy a MacBook Pro? Foundry If youre looking for the lowest price on a MacBook Pro, the best times to buy are during major sales events such as Amazon Prime Day in June/July or October and Black Friday. Black Friday is typically the strongest shopping period for MacBook Pro deals, although the lowest prices are often reserved for older or clearance models, and popular configurations can sell out quickly. Another time to look for deals is shortly after Apple launches a new model, as retailers often discount the previous generation to clear remaining stock, making it possible to save hundreds if you dont need the latest chip. If youre a student, you can save all year. Students, teachers, and education staff can typically save $100 to $200 on a new MacBook Pro through Apples Education Store. However, the best time to buy is usually during Apples annual Back to School promotion in the summer, when qualifying customers can often claim a free pair of AirPods or another bonus gift alongside the education discount. See How to use Apples Education Store to get a bargain . Timing Why its a good time Typical saving Amazon Prime Day (June/July/October) Deep discounts from Amazon. $150 $800+ off MSRP Black Friday / Cyber Monday (November/December) The biggest sales event of the year for electronics. $200 $500+ off MSRP After a New Model Launch (March/October) Retailers discount the previous generation to clear inventory. Varies; often $200$400 off Apple Refurbished Store (Year-Round) Like-new condition with full warranty; pre-hike prices. 15%30% off original MSRP Apple Education Store (Year-Round) Direct discount for students and educators. $100 $200 off MSRP Is buying a refurbished MacBook Pro a good idea? Foundry Buying a refurbished MacBook Pro can be a great way to save money particularly if you buy directly from Apples Certified Refurbished Store. As of July 2026, buying refurbished makes more sense than ever because Apple has continued to sell refurbished Macs at pre-price-hike prices, allowing buyers to avoid the $300 to $500 increases Apple introduced on new MacBook Pro models in June. Apple Certified Refurbished Macs are typically around 15% cheaper than brand-new models and come with the same one-year warranty, 90 days of complimentary technical support, and the option to purchase AppleCare+. Every Mac undergoes extensive testing, is cleaned and inspected, and receives genuine Apple replacement parts where necessary. The main downside is availability. Stock changes daily, so you may need to wait for the exact model, storage capacity, memory configuration, or colour you want. Newer MacBook Pro models also usually dont appear in the refurbished store until several months after launch. Third-party retailers, including Amazon, also sell refurbished Macs, but quality standards vary considerably. We generally recommend avoiding Macs that are more than five years old, as they may receive fewer years of macOS and security updates. In some cases, retailers also offer larger discounts on new, previous-generation MacBook Pro models during major sales events, so its always worth comparing prices before you buy. For most buyers, Apples Certified Refurbished Store remains the safest and best-value way to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro. Best refurbished MacBook Pro deal right now Apple is selling the M5 MacBook Pro on its Certified Refurbished store in the U.S. for $300 off the full price. Get the MacBook Pro on Apples Refurbished Store. Apple is selling the M5 MacBook Pro on its Certified Refurbished store in the U.K. You can get up to 450 off the M5 Pro MacBook Pro and 750 off a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Max chip. Get the MacBook Pro on Apples Refurbished Store. Which MacBook Pro to choose Before choosing a MacBook Pro, bear in mind that Apple is reportedly preparing new models for October 27. The entry-level MacBook Pro is expected to gain the M6 processor, while the higher-end M5 Pro and M5 Max models could receive an OLED touchscreen redesign. Unless you need a laptop immediately, wed recommend waiting to compare the new models before buying. Choose the M5 MacBook Pro if you want Pro features such as the better display, extra ports and active cooling, but dont need the power of the M5 Pro or M5 Max. Choose the M5 Pro MacBook Pro if youre a professional who regularly edits 4K video, compiles large software projects, works with RAW photos, produces music or runs multiple demanding applications at once. For most creative professionals and developers, the M5 Pro offers the best balance of performance and price. Choose the M5 Max MacBook Pro if your work pushes a laptop to its limits. The M5 Max is designed for users editing multiple streams of 8K video, creating complex 3D animations, running large AI or machine learning workloads, or handling visual effects and other GPU-intensive tasks. Unless you regularly perform these types of work, the M5 Pro is likely to offer better value. What about the MacBook Air? The MacBook Air is a good alternative at a lower price. Stephan Wiesend If youre considering a MacBook Pro, its also worth looking at the MacBook Air. Apple updated the Air in March 2026, and with a starting price of $1,299/1,299 (the price increased by $200/200 in June 2026), its significantly cheaper than the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air is a good choice if you: Mainly browse the web, use Microsoft Office or stream media. Are a student or home user with light computing needs. Value portability and a silent, fanless design. Want the best value MacBook. However, the lower price comes with a few compromises. Compared to the MacBook Pro, the Air offers lower sustained performance, a less advanced display, fewer ports, and lower memory and storage limits. Choose the MacBook Pro if you need: Sustained performance for video editing, coding, 3D rendering or AI workloads. A Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion and HDR. More connectivity, including HDMI, an SDXC card slot and additional Thunderbolt ports. Higher-end M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, with up to 128GB of unified memory. For most everyday users, the MacBook Air is the better value. But if your work regularly pushes your laptop to its limits, the MacBook Pro is well worth the extra investment. Do you need to upgrade your current Mac? Apple Whether you need to upgrade depends on three things: how old your Mac is, whether Apple still supports it, and whether it can keep up with the apps and features you use every day. If you have an Intel Mac, its time to upgrade With macOS 27 Golden Gate, Apple has ended support for Intel Macs. While Apple is expected to continue providing security updates for the small number of Intel Macs that support macOS 26 Tahoe, that support is likely to last only another year or two. The only Intel Macs that can run macOS Tahoe are: 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020, four Thunderbolt ports) 27-inch iMac (2020) Mac Pro (2019) If your Mac isnt on this list, it may no longer receive the latest macOS updates and will eventually stop receiving security updates. For more advice, read How long Macs and MacBooks last: Lifespan, support and when to upgrade. If youre still using an Intel Mac, we recommend upgrading as soon as your budget allows. Moving from Intel to Apple Silicon is one of the biggest upgrades Apple has ever offered. Youll benefit from dramatically faster performance, much longer battery life, quieter operation, Apple Intelligence support, and many more years of macOS compatibility. Read our guides to macOS Tahoe and macOS Golden Gate to see what youll gain by upgrading. Which are the best retailers to buy a MacBook from? Aside from Apple ( View the MacBook Pro in the Apple Store and View the MacBook Pro in the Apple Store U.K ). There are a number of third-party resellers that frequently discount the MacBook Pro. When shopping at a reseller our advice is to always verify: Processor generation RAM amount SSD size Whether the model is Intel or Apple Silicon Dont make the mistake of paying for a previous generation Mac without comparing it to the specs of the current model.
