Apple is set to overhaul its MacBook Pro line for the first time since 2021, unveiling OLED displays, touch support and a lighter chassis at a hands‑on event in Los Angeles on Oct. 28, according to 9to5Mac.

What happened

The "Pro and tell" experience will showcase an OLED iPad mini, OLED MacBook Pro models and a refreshed iMac, all expected to run on the M6 chip. The event is not slated for live streaming, focusing on influencers and media.

What the reports add

9to5Mac notes that while Apple has not confirmed cellular support, several prior reports hint at it: Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said Apple was investigating cellular MacBooks as early as 2026, testing a second‑generation C2 modem; Macworld’s Filipe Esposito reported Apple testing M5 Pro‑based Macs with the C1 modem last year.

What was said

9to5Mac cites no direct quotes but references Gurman’s earlier claim that Apple was "testing its second generation modem" for MacBooks.

How it came about

Earlier Felo coverage noted a lighter but not dramatically thinner redesign (Apple leak suggests new MacBook Pro will be lighter) and an upcoming entry‑level redesign in 2027 (Apple to bring M7‑powered redesign to entry‑level MacBook Pro).
