Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak on Monday shared a short teaser video and the message “Can’t wait to pro and tell next week,” confirming the company’s next product experience for Wednesday, October 28th, in Los Angeles.
The animated clip shows the Apple logo forming from flowing, multi-colored light trails against a black background — a stylized nod to the event’s “Pro and tell” tagline. Joswiak’s post, which quickly drew thousands of likes and shares, follows the recent distribution of media invites for an in-person gathering starting at 10 a.m. PT.

This marks Apple’s second hardware-focused experience of the month. On October 13th in New York, the company introduced the HomeView smart display, HomePod mini 2, and an updated Apple TV 4K under the “Welcome home” banner. The October 28 gathering in Los Angeles is expected to follow a similar hands-on format for select media and creators rather than a traditional livestreamed keynote, with product announcements and videos likely timed to the event.
Expected Lineup Centers on Mac and iPad Upgrades
While Apple has not confirmed specific products, reporting from Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman and coverage across tech outlets points to a Mac- and iPad-focused slate:
• Redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED touchscreens (Apple’s first on a Mac), a Dynamic Island cutout replacing the notch, and a significantly lighter design. These are widely expected to use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips rather than a new M6 Pro/Max generation.
• An entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and a refreshed iMac powered by the M6 chip, largely retaining current designs.
• A new iPad mini with an OLED display, a relocated landscape-oriented FaceTime camera, and an updated speaker system.
Gurman has indicated the devices could be introduced around October 28th, with availability potentially following in early November (reports have referenced a possible November 6th window tied to retail preparations). Earlier speculation about a “MacBook Ultra” name appears to have been walked back, with the touchscreen models expected to remain in the MacBook Pro lineup.
A Notable Shift for the Mac
The prospect of a touchscreen MacBook Pro represents a significant departure for Apple, which has long argued against touch input on traditional laptops in favor of trackpad and keyboard precision. An OLED panel would also mark a display upgrade from the mini-LED technology in recent high-end Pros, promising better contrast, blacks, and brightness alongside the new interaction model and software support (reports have referenced testing with macOS versions that include finger input handling).
Joswiak’s playful wording and the fluid logo animation have fueled speculation that the teaser alludes to the tactile or visual qualities of the expected OLED touchscreen machines. Apple’s fall product cadence has been busy, following recent iPhone and related launches, and the “Pro and tell” experience appears positioned as a focused showcase for professional and creative users.
Official details will arrive next week. Until then, the combination of confirmed event timing and consistent high-level reporting has set clear expectations for Apple’s next major hardware step.
