Apple is planning to host its second major launch event later this month. During the event, the Cupertino-based tech giant is expected to unveil its first MacBook model with a touchscreen and a Tandem OLED panel. The laptop could be joined by a refreshed iMac with the M6 processor, a new MacBook Pro with the M6 chipset, and a next-generation iPad Mini with an OLED display. The company is reportedly planning a “reset” for its retail stores, which could happen early next month. As part of the reset, Apple is expected to make the new Mac devices available for purchase to customers.

As part of the Apple Store “reset”, the tech giant will reportedly bring new signage and place new products on the store tables. Beyond the redesigned MacBook with an OLED touchscreen, the tech giant reportedly plans to launch the iMac with the new M6 chipset, the MacBook Pro with the M6 processor and a 14-inch display, and the refreshed iPad Mini with an OLED screen.

Next, the new MacBook will be Apple's first laptop with an OLED touchscreen. It adds to Apple's overhauled strategy of entering new product categories. The laptop will reportedly be powered by the M6 processor. It could also feature the Dynamic Island, like the new iPhone models. It would also be the first MacBook model to ditch the notch.

Apple recently released its M6 processor. It is the tech giant's first processor fabricated on TSMC's 2nm process node. Apple is not expected to add more M6 chips, as it reportedly plans to accelerate development and release of the M7 chip, which will focus on local AI processing and other tasks.

Before the anticipated Apple Store reset, the company will reportedly launch the new MacBook with touchscreen, iMac with M6 chip, MacBook Pro with M6 processor, and the next-generation iPad Mini on October 27. This would be Apple's second major event this month, following its Welcome Home presentation, during which the tech giant launched the new HomeView, HomePod Mini, and Apple TV 4K.
