# Apple confirms ‘Pro and tell’ event for 28 October: UK time and what to expect

*The invite confirms 28 October at 5pm UK time. Apple hasn't said what it will show, but new MacBook Pro models and an iPad mini are rumoured.*

**Key points**

- Apple has confirmed a “Pro and tell” event in Los Angeles on Wednesday 28 October at 10am PT, which is 5pm in the UK and 6pm in central Europe.
- Apple has not said what it will announce or whether the event will be streamed.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expects touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro models, a redesigned iPad mini and M6 iMac and MacBook Pro updates; none of this is confirmed.

Apple has confirmed a second October launch: a “Pro and tell” event in Los Angeles on Wednesday 28 October at 10am PT. That is 5pm in the UK and 6pm in central Europe, because British Summer Time ends on 25 October, a week before US clocks change.

The date, venue and tagline come from the invitations Apple sent to the press on 19 October, which marketing chief Greg Joswiak also shared on X with the line “Can’t wait to pro and tell next week”. Apple has not said what it will announce, and it has not yet said whether the event will be streamed on apple.com.

It is Apple’s second launch in just over two weeks, after the 13 October “Welcome home” event that introduced HomeView, HomePod mini 2 and the new Apple TV 4K.

## What is expected

### Rumoured, not confirmed

- 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touchscreen OLED displays, a Dynamic Island and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
- A redesigned iPad mini with an OLED screen and a relocated FaceTime camera.
- An M6 iMac and an M6 entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro that keep their current designs.

Reports differ on whether the new MacBook Pro will be thinner and on whether the iPad mini gets a ProMotion display. Gurman has also said new Macs and the iPad mini could go on sale around 6 November. None of this is confirmed by Apple.

## Why it matters

A touchscreen MacBook Pro would be the biggest change to Apple’s laptops in years and would reverse Apple’s long-held position against touch on the Mac. We will cover UK, EU and US prices and availability as soon as Apple announces them on 28 October.
