Apple on Wednesday will announce 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models featuring touch-enabled OLED displays with thinner bezels, a Dynamic Island instead of a notch, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, and a lighter and slightly thinner design, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports. Apple is hosting a private "Pro and tell" experience in Los Angeles starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time tomorrow.

RIP, MacBook Ultra
Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name.
The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

Mark Gurman: Apple Made 'Major Mistake' With iPhone Duo Pre-Orders
Despite knowing that the iPhone Duo would face "severe supply constraints" due to manufacturing challenges, Apple chose to begin iPhone Duo pre-orders on Friday instead of waiting until it had more inventory ready, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. In his Power On newsletter today, he called this decision a "major mistake."
"Let me cut to the chase: Apple made a major mistake here," he...

The base model 14-inch MacBook Pro (the one updated today) is basically a separate product line from the higher-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I don't think a 14-inch OLED's coming tomorrow, today's press release makes no sense whatsoever if you're gonna do that tomorrow. Because either there would have been a M6 MBP 16-inch announcement alongside it today or everything would be tomorrow.
In fact, Mark Gurman said the mini-LED models are sticking around for now, so the lineup as of tomorrow is expected to be as follows:
* 14-inch MacBook Pro (M6 chip)
* 14-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro or M5 Max with mini-LED display)
* 16-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro or M5 Max with mini-LED display)
* 14-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro or M5 Max with touch-enabled OLED display)
* 16-inch MacBook Pro (M5 Pro or M5 Max with touch-enabled OLED display)

If it’s touchscreen, can I punch it every time Apple hits us with another price hike?

For those into Apple it's always nice to see new things.
I don’t know but everyone seems excited about these updates.
To me Apple to me can be described now as:
- 60 Hz insanity iPad mini + appleTV + not pro laptops
- upgrades that do not justify for regular consumers - super expensive Macbook pros aimed at a small user group who can actually use them
- insane pricing in general
I'm not in the market for a touch-enabled laptop but I am curious to see how/if macOS will resize controls if touch is involved. That alone is an interesting concept for me.

Everyone’s forgetting that Apple kept the 13” Touch Bar MBP into the Apple Silicon era with M1 and M2 before discontinuing it in the M3 year.
We should continue to see the current miniLED chassis for at least a couple more years.
