This is an archive page with the Apple rumors of Wednesday 28 October 2026, as they stood that day. The summaries have not been updated since; rumors may have been confirmed or overtaken by now. Today's news is on The Apple Rumor Mill.
Last updated:
Apple today unveiled the OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, alongside the M6 iMac, the 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro and the new iPad mini.
The new model has a tandem OLED display with touch input, a Dynamic Island replacing the notch, and a thinner, lighter body of about three pounds. It runs on M5 Pro or M5 Max chips with up to 128GB of memory. The 14-inch starts at $2,899 and the 16-inch at $3,399; pre-orders are open and sales begin November 6.
In the Netherlands the 14-inch starts at €3,349 and the 16-inch at €3,949; the top configuration with 128GB of memory and 16TB of storage costs over €16,000. The display reaches up to 2,000 nits and battery life is rated at up to 24 hours. Bright expects Siri AI and Apple Intelligence not to be available here.
The new OLED MacBook Pro brings back a glowing logo on the lid, for the first time since the 2016 redesign. Because OLED has no separate backlight, Apple has to light the logo in a different way than before. The older mini-LED models have been dropped from the lineup.
The company that makes support plates and hinge parts for foldable displays says the reported damage was not caused by its components, and warns against a witch hunt until the cause is known. AppleInsider checked twenty Genius Bars and found only four affected units returned, so the problem does not look widespread.
The new entry MacBook Pro reaches up to 170GB/s of memory bandwidth, against 153GB/s on the M5 model. Only the 24GB and 32GB configurations get that higher speed; the standard 16GB version stays at the old level.
On the new iMac the optional fast Ethernet port is built into the power adapter rather than the computer itself. The color lineup is also the same as on the model from five years ago. Pre-orders open today from 10:10 a.m. Pacific.
Through a plugin, ChatGPT can read, search and send iCloud Mail and create or change events in iCloud Calendar. It requires an app-specific password, and other mail accounts such as Gmail or Outlook stay out of reach. It works on all ChatGPT plans.
The update, available since Monday, lets you join calls from Apple TV via FaceTime links and adds third-party sign language and captioning services. You can also pick individual photos from your iPhone as a screen saver and locate a Siri Remote through Find My. Siri AI is still missing on older Apple TV models.
Next up: Friday November 6: retail launch of the new MacBook Pros, the M6 iMac and the iPad mini.
Every day has its own page. They stay up for three months.
Everything here is speculation or based on rumors, not an official Apple announcement. The label (Certain, High, Medium, Low) is my estimate of how reliable the source is. The summaries are in my own words; read the article itself for the details (the star marks the leading source). Sources: leading Apple sites.
