What to expect from Apple’s ‘Pro and tell’ event
What to expect from Apple’s ‘Pro and tell’ event
It feels like Apple’s Welcome Home event just happened. And the iPhone Duo announcement isn’t all that far in our rearview mirror, either. Yet, the company is back with another launch, focused on the MacBook Pro, it looks like. Its “Pro and tell” event is scheduled for October 28th at 1PM ET in Los Angeles. While obviously nothing is confirmed yet, it sure seems like we’re finally going to get that long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro.
感觉苹果的“Welcome Home”发布会仿佛才刚刚结束，而 iPhone Duo 的发布也就在不久前。然而，该公司似乎又带着一场以 MacBook Pro 为重点的新发布会回归了。其“Pro and tell”发布会定于美国东部时间 10 月 28 日下午 1 点在洛杉矶举行。虽然目前显然还没有任何官方确认，但看起来我们终于要迎来那款传闻已久的触摸屏 MacBook Pro 了。
Beyond that? There could be an OLED update for the iPad Mini, plus M6 updates across other devices, following the M6 debut with the Mac Mini in August.
除此之外呢？继 8 月份 M6 芯片随 Mac Mini 首次亮相后，iPad Mini 可能会迎来 OLED 屏幕更新，其他设备也可能会进行 M6 芯片升级。
A MacBook Pro with an OLED touchscreen has been a fixture of the rumor mill since at least early 2023. But now, in late 2026, it may finally come to fruition. The name MacBook Ultra has been floating around, but Apple is unlikely to rebrand its flagship laptop line.
至少从 2023 年初开始，配备 OLED 触摸屏的 MacBook Pro 就一直是传闻中的常客。但现在，到了 2026 年末，它可能终于要成为现实了。虽然“MacBook Ultra”这个名字一直在流传，但苹果不太可能对其旗舰笔记本电脑产品线进行更名。
This will be the first touchscreen laptop and the first OLED laptop from Apple. It will supposedly feature an iPhone-esque Dynamic Island, but don’t expect a dramatic revamp of the macOS interface — The touchscreen MacBook isn’t going to be some sort of iPad hybrid. It may include a few flourishes, like a magnification effect when you touch the screen or new gesture controls in native apps. But that’s it.
这将是苹果首款触摸屏笔记本电脑，也是首款 OLED 笔记本电脑。据称它将采用类似 iPhone 的“灵动岛”设计，但不要指望 macOS 界面会有巨大的改动——这款触摸屏 MacBook 不会变成某种 iPad 混合体。它可能会包含一些点缀，比如触摸屏幕时的放大效果或原生应用中的新手势控制，但仅此而已。
It’s also going to stick with the M5 series of chips for the time being — specifically, the M5 Pro and M5 Max. There might not be an M6 Pro or Max, even. Instead, Apple may wait to upgrade its higher-end processors until it introduces the M7 next year.
它暂时仍将沿用 M5 系列芯片，具体来说是 M5 Pro 和 M5 Max。甚至可能根本不会有 M6 Pro 或 Max 版本。相反，苹果可能会等到明年推出 M7 时，再对其高端处理器进行升级。
That doesn’t mean there won’t be an M6 MacBook Pro, however. The base model of the MacBook Pro could be getting a bump from the M5 after the M6 debuted in the Mac Mini earlier this year. It might also get a slight redesign, including a hole-punch style camera. Unfortunately, they’re also expected to come with a price increase as component shortages reverberate through the Apple lineup.
不过，这并不意味着不会有 M6 MacBook Pro。继 M6 今年早些时候在 Mac Mini 上首次亮相后，MacBook Pro 的基础型号可能会从 M5 升级。它也可能会进行轻微的重新设计，包括采用打孔式摄像头。遗憾的是，由于零部件短缺对苹果产品线的影响，预计这些产品也会涨价。
The iMac is also expected to get an M6 update, nearly two years after its last revision. Apple’s all-in-one desktop appears like it’s going to skip right over the M5. Don’t expect any real changes beyond that, though. But at least we might get some new color options, just like we did with the M4 model.
iMac 预计也将迎来 M6 更新，距离其上一次改版已近两年。苹果的这款一体机似乎将直接跳过 M5 芯片。不过，除了这一点之外，不要指望会有什么实质性的变化。但至少我们可能会获得一些新的颜色选择，就像 M4 型号那样。
Another long-rumored device that might finally be making its debut on Wednesday is the OLED iPad Mini. Other than the iPad Pro, the tablet lineup has stuck with LCDs until now. The new OLED iPad could kick off a broader transition for the product line. The screen upgrade may add $100 to the cost, though. Otherwise, it likely won’t be a significant redesign, but expect a processor upgrade from the aging A17 to the A20 that debuted with the iPhone 18.
另一款传闻已久、可能终于要在周三亮相的设备是 OLED iPad Mini。除了 iPad Pro 之外，苹果的平板电脑产品线至今仍在使用 LCD 屏幕。新款 OLED iPad 可能会开启该产品线更广泛的转型。不过，屏幕升级可能会增加 100 美元的成本。除此之外，它可能不会有重大的重新设计，但预计处理器会从老旧的 A17 升级到随 iPhone 18 首次亮相的 A20。
