🚨 🆕 redesigned MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch 📱 Thanks to a new cooling system, the new MacBooks are slightly thinner and lighter, and the notch is finally replaced by a Dynamic Island.

🚨 Apple just dropped a new iPad mini with an OLED display and water resistance 📰 It’s being called the biggest update the lineup has ever had. The screen has grown to 8.5 inches, and the body is thinner. The front camera has finally moved to the long edge of the bezel, which makes video calls feel natural. The A20 Pro chip makes games and AI tasks run several times faster, and small neural networks can run right on the tablet. 💸 From $699. On sale November 6. @iPhone

🔜 Touchscreen MacBook Pro arrives this Wednesday 📰 Bloomberg has confirmed the rumors and added a few new details. Apple’s first touchscreen Mac will have an OLED display and a Dynamic Island, just like the iPhone. It will come in two sizes, 14" and 16".

What to know: • OLED with touch support, and the notch is gone • Rumored tandem OLED panel, the same tech as the iPad Pro, with better lifespan and less burn-in • Reinforced hinge so the screen doesn’t wobble when you tap it • Lighter and possibly a bit thinner • M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, since there will be no M6 Pro or Max (according to Bloomberg) • The name stays “MacBook Pro”. The rumored “MacBook Ultra” is out, and the “Pro and tell” invite tagline gives it away • Touch is meant as a supplement to the keyboard and trackpad, not a replacement

💵 14" from $2,999 💵 16" from $3,499 📆 The launch experience is in LA on Wednesday, October 28, with no livestream. Sales could start as early as November 6. @iPhone

💔 iPhone Duo’s display: complaints appear on launch day 💬 Some users are reporting cracks in the exact same spot on the main display, which immediately produce a noticeable vertical line across the screen. 🔄 The cause is still unclear. However, official Apple Stores can replace affected devices on the spot. @iPhone

That's why we do need @iPhone Duo 😁

📱 The night before iPhone Duo launch day in NYC 📍Apple Fifth Avenue was gearing up for the release of Apple’s first-ever foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, today, October 23! 👥 Giant iPhone Duo installations now surround the iconic glass cube, and fans are already lining up overnight to be among the first to get one in their hands. 🏪 Apple Fifth Avenue is open 24/7, which makes it one of the most iconic Apple Stores in NYC. @iPhone

🆕 Apple’s October 2️⃣8️⃣ event 📰 While the admin was asleep, Apple started sending invites to select media for a product event in Los Angeles on October 28. Bloggers are already sharing their invites for the “Apple Experience” press event, set for 10:00 AM PT. 💻 A traditional online livestream is unlikely. The format will probably be similar to last week’s launches of HomeView, Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2.

What’s expected: • New 14-inch and 16-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro models with OLED displays • New iPad mini with an OLED screen • New iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro models powered by the M6 chip

🙅‍♂️ Apple will reportedly discourage customers from visiting stores on iPhone Duo launch day 📰 According to 9to5mac, Apple Store employees have been told to discourage customers from coming in on October 23, the day iPhone Duo sales start. Because supply is extremely limited, stores will have little or no stock for customers without pre-orders. Staff are reportedly warning that anyone showing up empty-handed will likely leave disappointed. It’s unclear how strict this guidance is or whether it applies worldwide.

📦 Online, the Duo is sold out for months ahead. Pre-orders went within minutes, and delivery estimates in the US slipped to January 25, 2027 about half an hour after sales opened. Apple’s site only says to check back for pickup availability on October 24, which doesn’t guarantee stock. 📱 Apple called demand “nothing short of extraordinary” and said it is working to get the “revolutionary new product” to customers as quickly as possible, while continuing to accept orders online. 📈 Analyst forecasts vary widely: J.P. Morgan expects 8.5 million Duos in the December quarter, while Deepwater’s Gene Munster projects around 20 million units.

@iPhone

🙃 “Nobody will buy it,” they said 📰 Apple has officially started accepting preorders for iPhone Duo in more than 70 countries and regions. A second wave of sales in another 28 countries is scheduled for October 30. 📱 Just 30 minutes after iPhone Duo preorders opened, the estimated delivery date had already slipped to January 22-23, 2027, regardless of model or payment method. 😎 Looks like Apple got a lot more demand than it expected. @iPhone

🫦 iPhone Duo is better not dropped 📰 Apple has revealed what it costs to repair its foldable phone. One bad fall will hurt. 💸 Replacing the outer display will cost $380, and the inner one $1,000. Other damage will run $1,500. For comparison, almost everything on the iPhone 18 Pro costs about half as much. @iPhone
