Apple has sent out invites for an event on October 28 in Los Angeles, and if the rumor mill is right, it’s going to be a big one for Mac fans.
According to Bloomberg, the headliner will be the long-awaited MacBook Pro overhaul, which might arrive under a new name: MacBook Ultra. Apple’s next flagship laptop is said to be thinner and lighter than the current MacBook Pro lineup. The bigger story, however, is the screen. Apple is reportedly ditching mini LED for an OLED panel, which would make it the first Mac laptop with an OLED display.

The design changes don’t stop there. The wide notch at the top of the screen is reportedly on its way out, replaced by a pill-shaped cutout similar to what you see on iPhones. Then there’s touch support, an idea Steve Jobs famously dismissed years ago, arguing that reaching for a vertical screen just isn’t comfortable. Under the hood, expect M6-series silicon, most likely the M6 Pro or M6 Max.
The flagship won’t be alone on stage. Apple is also expected to launch an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and a refreshed 24-inch iMac, both running M6-series chips. Don’t expect a new look for the iMac, though a fresh color or two wouldn’t be surprising.

Apple’s smaller tablet could also get some stage time. Previous reports suggest the next iPad mini will move to an OLED display and could also get an A20 Pro chip, a relocated FaceTime camera, and changes to its speaker system.
The event will cap off one of the busiest years in Apple’s history. The company has launched a record number of products in 2026, including a few entirely new categories. Its first foldable phone is ready to hit the shelves, and Apple is pushing hard on its first smart home device, the HomeView. A Max version could follow, reportedly with a robotic arm and a swiveling screen.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
