It’s been a busy month for Apple. In addition to releasing a folding iPhone Duo and a suite of new home products, the Cupertino company has just announced a number of new or improved computers and tablets. These range from the world’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro (with a PROLED XDR display, no less) to the first iPad mini with an OLED display, among others. All of these new items are up for preorder at various retailers (see them at Amazon). Let’s take a closer look.
All told, Apple has four new items up for preorder, some of which come in various size options. They all release on November 6.
You guys, this is huge: Apple has invented the touchscreen laptop. I jest, but it is a somewhat momentous occasion. After refusing for years to add touchscreen capabilities to its laptop lineup, Apple has finally introduced a MacBook Pro with what it’s calling a PROLED XDR display. It’s a gorgeous OLED display that brings touch to MacOS for the first time. That means you can do things like swipe to scroll, tap to close or maximize apps, and pinch to zoom, just like on an iPad. It also has an iPhone-like Dynamic Island at the top of the screen, instead of a notch.
The new MacBook Pro is available in 14” and 16” models with either an M5 Pro or M5 Max chip. Prices range from $2899 to (I kid you not) $14,549 if you fully spec it out at Apple.
