What this means for you

If you're about to buy a MacBook Pro, it may be worth waiting a couple of weeks to see the new models. Pricing and chips aren't confirmed, and Apple hasn't announced this second launch.

What Bloomberg says is coming

Per the report, as relayed by MacRumors and 9to5Mac, the October 27 launch covers four products:

Two October events

Apple has confirmed a "Welcome home" event for Tuesday, October 13, at 9 a.m. ET, expected to focus on the smart home.

What changes on the screen and in use

Today's MacBook Pro has a Liquid Retina XDR display, 14.2 or 16.2 inches, with ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz, and none of the models take touch input.

Chips and what's still unclear

Reports differ on the processors. In June, MacRumors cited Gurman saying the OLED model would stay with the current M5 Pro and M5 Max rather than move to M6.

Buy now or wait

This is opinion, not fact: if you need a MacBook Pro for work today, a rumor alone shouldn't hold up your purchase.
