Apple\u2019s Pro and Tell<\/a> experience week is here, and it\u2019s already off to a strong start, with the new iPad Mini<\/a> unveiled on Monday morning. But there\u2019s more to come: We\u2019re also expecting refreshes and changes to the iMac<\/a> and MacBook Pro<\/a> lineups, including a long-anticipated touchscreen laptop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s had a busy few months, launching the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max<\/a> in September<\/a> alongside the Apple Watch Series 12<\/a>, Apple Watch Ultra 4<\/a> and the AirPods 5<\/a>, followed by the iPhone Duo<\/a> launch<\/a> at the end of last week. Apple\u2019s smart home lineup<\/a>, revealed during its recent Welcome Home event, is up next: the HomePod Mini 2<\/a> will launch on Friday; the Apple HomeView<\/a> and Apple TV 4K<\/a> on Nov. 13; and availability for the Home Collection products<\/a> begins in December.<\/p>\n

This week will culminate with Apple hosting a special event on Wednesday, and CNET will be on the ground capturing all the latest details. But ahead of that, here\u2019s what we\u2019re expecting to see from the tech giant, and we\u2019ll update this piece as more details are revealed.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s new iPad Mini<\/p>\n

Announced on Monday, Apple\u2019s new iPad Mini is available to preorder on Wednesday and will go on sale Nov. 6. It starts at $699 for 128GB of storage, $799 for 256GB and $999 for 512GB.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Setting it apart from the last iPad Mini<\/a>, which came out two years ago, the new tablet has an 8.5-inch OLED screen (versus an LCD), IP67 water and dust resistance, an Apple A20 processor, a repositioned front-facing camera and a through-screen speaker system called Acoustic Display, as well as being thinner and lighter than before.<\/p>\n

A new iMac<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t yet know what\u2019s coming for the rest of this week, but one heavily rumored product is a new iMac<\/a>, which we\u2019re expecting to be updated with an M6 chip, just like the Mac Mini. The current generation of iMac was last updated in 2024.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely the new iMac will be announced Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

MacBook Pro refresh<\/p>\n

We\u2019re anticipating several MacBook Pro updates this week, including an OLED touchscreen version.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m expecting a 14-inch MacBook Pro to get updated with the M6 chip,\u201d CNET Managing Editor Josh Goldman says. \u201cI\u2019m not sure the 16-inch will get that, since it usually doesn\u2019t get a base M-series chip. My feeling is they\u2019ll probably hold off on that until next year, when they can add the M6 Pro\/Max chips.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldman added that he\u2019s expecting the 14- and 16-inch OLED touchscreen models will still be based on the M5 Pro\/Max chips, however.<\/p>\n

The MacBook Pro chip upgrade announcement could hit Tuesday morning, to be followed on Wednesday by the new touchscreen versions of Apple\u2019s highest-end laptop.<\/p>\n

And as for the iPhone Duo launch last week, check out CNET\u2019s ongoing folding test<\/a> \u2014 you can watch Day 1 of the livestream here<\/a> and tune in on Tuesday as we continue testing how many times the iPhone Duo can fold without cracking in the CNET lab.<\/p>\n
