Starting today, Apple’s new iPad mini with OLED display, the iMac M6, and its latest MacBook Pro models are available for purchase in Apple’s online store and Apple Store app, with the first pre-orders also arriving today to customers and both devices will hit Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
iPad Mini OLED
The eighth-generation iPad mini is Apple’s smallest tablet with an OLED display. The 8.5-inch Super Retina
The device is powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip and N1 wireless chip, which enable Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. At 5.4 mm thick and weighing 255 grams, it is the lightest iPad Apple has ever made. It’s also the first iPad with IP67 water and dust resistance ratings, helped by a new acoustic display that produces sound through the screen itself, so there are no speaker holes in the case.
A 12MP Center Stage front camera is now placed on the horizontal side for video calls, and the device supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C). The display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate without ProMotion, which was the main point of criticism in early reviews.
In the US, the new iPad mini starts at $699 for the 128GB Wi-Fi model. The 256GB and 512GB configurations are priced at $799 and $999, with nano-texture glass adding $100 on these models, while Wi-Fi + Cellular models start at $849. Instructional pricing starts at $649.
M6iMac
Meanwhile, the new iMac is the first update to Apple’s all-in-one since the M4 model. The M6 chip brings up to a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, with Apple claiming up to 2x faster graphics than the previous generation, along with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and an optional 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port on the power supply.
The iMac with M6 starts at $1,499 for the 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU model, while the 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU version starts at $1,699. Tuition pricing starts at $1,449.
Latest MacBook Pro models
New MacBook Pro models are also launching today. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 starts at $1,999 and features a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, along with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via Apple’s N1 wireless chip.
New 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with PROLED XDR touchscreen displays are also available, starting at $2,899 and $3,399, respectively. Powered by the M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, the touchscreen models replace the notch with a dynamic island and offer up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness for both SDR and HDR content.
Apple’s online checkout system indicates that many configurations of the 14- and 16-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro models in Space Black and Silver currently ship in 2-3 weeks, so anyone who wants one as soon as possible will likely have better luck visiting their local Apple Store, where at least some basic configurations are generally available.
