Apple Confirms October 27 Launch for Touchscreen MacBook and M6 Macs

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple will hold a second product event on October 27, 2026, to unveil its first touchscreen MacBook, an OLED iPad mini, and M6-powered 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac models. This follows a confirmed October 13 event for smart home devices. The touchscreen MacBook, potentially named 'MacBook Ultra,' marks a significant shift from Apple's historical stance against touch laptops, featuring OLED displays and M5 Pro/Max chips. Counterpoint Research projects OLED notebook shipments will rise 50% in 2026, driven by Apple's adoption and premium AI PC demand.

M6 Mac mini review: Great performance, but $899 price tag raises value questions

The new M6 Mac mini, launched at $899, offers significant performance gains over the M4 but faces criticism for its price increase. It features Apple's first 2nm chip with a three-tier CPU design, though memory bandwidth remains a bottleneck for AI tasks. While it outperforms Windows rivals, the value proposition is weaker than the previous $599 model, especially for users needing more RAM for local AI.

Apple Eliminates User-Replaceable SSDs in New Mac mini, Driving Costs Up

Apple has removed the user-upgradable SSD slot from the new M6 Mac mini, forcing customers to pay significantly more for storage upgrades. The base price jumped from $599 to $899, while a 2TB configuration now costs $1,900 compared to roughly $920 for the previous generation with an aftermarket drive. This change eliminates a key value proposition, making the Mac mini less accessible for budget-conscious buyers who previously relied on third-party storage upgrades.

Why the M6 Mac mini costs less than a MacBook Air despite superior specs

Why the M6 Mac mini costs less than a MacBook Air despite superior specs

The M6 Mac mini costs $900, undercutting the $1,100 MacBook Air, because it excludes a display, battery, and peripherals. While the mini offers faster M6 performance, the Air includes a screen and keyboard, making it a better value for new users. The mini’s lower price is driven by omitted hardware costs and simpler engineering, though both face price hikes due to memory shortages.

Apple Reverses Course on Mac Mini Storage, Soldering SSDs in M6 and M5 Pro Models

Apple Reverses Course on Mac Mini Storage, Soldering SSDs in M6 and M5 Pro Models

Apple’s new Mac mini models featuring the M6 and M5 Pro chips have reverted to soldered NAND storage, eliminating the removable SSD option available in the previous M4 generation. This change prevents users from installing aftermarket storage upgrades, a practice that was possible with the M4 model. Additionally, the 256GB configurations now use a single NAND chip rather than a pair, resulting in significantly slower read and write speeds compared to 512GB or larger models. While the Mac Studio retains replaceable SSD modules, the Mac mini’s storage is now permanently fixed at purchase, mirroring the design of earlier M1 and M2 models.
