Apple on 28 October: OLED MacBook Pro and iPad mini - wait or buy now?

Apple Pro and Tell is an Apple event on 28 October 2026 at 10:00 Pacific time (19:00 in Estonia). According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, it may show the first MacBook Pro with a touch OLED display and an OLED iPad mini. Apple has not announced official prices or sale dates. Here is what to expect and what you can buy right now. Valid as of 24 October 2026.

What is known about the Apple Pro and Tell event on 28 October 2026?

Only the event itself is confirmed: Apple invited press to "Pro and tell" on 28 October at 10:00 PT, and on 19 October Apple's Greg Joswiak wrote on X that he was looking forward to "pro and tell next week". Everything else is rumour. The announcement may come as early as 27 October, with hands-on access for press on the 28th. Sales on announcement day are not guaranteed: rumours point to early November, around 6 November, which is also unconfirmed.

Which new products are expected: OLED MacBook Pro and iPad mini?

Rumours say Apple will show 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro models with a touch OLED display and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, possibly with a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, plus an OLED iPad mini. Sources disagree on chips: some say M5 Pro and M5 Max, others say M6 for the base 14 inch model. An updated 24 inch iMac is also mentioned. The table below lists expectations, not confirmed specifications.

How much will the new MacBook Pro and iPad mini cost in Estonia?

There are no official European prices, so naming euro amounts is premature. The only price rumour concerns the iPad mini: the new model may cost about a third more than the current one. For comparison, the iPad mini Wi-Fi 128 GB currently costs 719 € incl. VAT in our store, and the MacBook Pro 14 with M5 Pro (24 GB, 1 TB) starts at 2763.89 €. Estonian prices will be announced with the launch; until then any figures are guesses.

Should you wait for the OLED MacBook Pro or buy the current MacBook Pro with M5 Pro?

If you want a touch OLED display and a new design, wait for the announcement and prices: the new model will almost certainly cost more. If you need a powerful laptop for work right now, the MacBook Pro with M5 Pro already on sale is a good fit. Rumours say the new models will get the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, so the difference will likely come down to the display and body. In stock on 24 October 2026:

What to buy if you do not want to overpay for a new model: MacBook Air M5?

For study and everyday work a MacBook Air with M5 is the more sensible choice: no need to pay extra for OLED and Pro class.

MacBook Air is not mentioned in the rumours, so the Pro refresh will not affect it.

Which iPad mini and iPad to buy now, before the OLED iPad mini arrives?

If you can wait, the previous generation may get cheaper after the announcement, though discounts are not guaranteed.
