Quick Answer
Apple is launching five new products on Friday, November 6, 2026: the OLED iPad mini, M6 iMac, 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro, and 14-inch and 16-inch OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models.
The lineup starts at $699 for iPad mini, $1,499 for iMac and $1,999 for the M6 laptop. The two touchscreen Macs start at $2,899 and $3,399.
Pre-orders are open. November 6 marks the start of availability; your delivery estimate depends on the model, configuration and region. The cards below show the key specifications, with links to our existing guides for the decisions that need a closer look.
What is arriving on November 6?
This launch brings together three different buying decisions: a small OLED tablet, an all-in-one desktop and a choice between two MacBook Pro display families. Apple announced these products in late October; November 6 is their retail launch date.
The MacBook distinction matters most. The entry 14-inch model has M6 and a Liquid Retina XDR display. The redesigned OLED touchscreen models use M5 Pro or M5 Max. A higher chip-generation number does not replace the need to compare processor tier, memory and ports.
1. OLED iPad mini: a smaller screen with a bigger upgrade

- Display: 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED; 2316 × 1512; 600-nit full-screen brightness and up to 1200-nit HDR peak. Nano-texture glass is optional on 256GB and 512GB models.

The appeal is portability: reading, notes and a brighter OLED screen in a device that remains easy to carry. The key trade-off is that OLED does not bring 120Hz ProMotion to this mini. Our iPad mini 8 OLED review explains the $699 decision, while the 14-hour, 24-minute battery-test analysis puts one reviewer’s result in context.
2. M6 iMac: the complete desktop option

The iMac makes the most sense when you want the computer, screen, camera and speakers in one purchase. Compare the $1,499 and $1,699 iMac configurations before spending more on storage alone. If you already own a good monitor, our M6 iMac vs Mac mini complete desktop cost comparison is the more useful next step.
3. 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro: the lower-priced pro laptop

This is the starting point for buyers who want a MacBook Pro without paying for the OLED redesign. Its 1TB starting SSD is useful, but memory needs still depend on your apps. If discounted stock is also on your list, compare like-for-like configurations using our M6 MacBook Pro vs discounted M5 guide.
4. 14-inch OLED MacBook Pro: touch in a portable design

Here, the extra money buys a different display, a lighter chassis and a higher processor tier. Our explanation of why the OLED MacBook Pro uses M5 Pro rather than M6 covers the naming question. The $400 touchscreen MacBook Pro premium analysis compares corresponding M5 Pro and M5 Max models; that $400 figure is a different comparison from the $900 gap to the entry M6 laptop.
5. 16-inch OLED MacBook Pro: more room for creative work
16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display
From $3,399 with M5 Pro; M5 Max from $4,799

- Chip: M5 Pro with an 18-core CPU / 20-core GPU, or M5 Max with an 18-core CPU and 32-core or 40-core GPU.
- Memory and SSD: M5 Pro starts at 24GB / 1TB. Maximum 128GB memory and 16TB SSD require the appropriate M5 Max configuration.
- Connections: Three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, SDXC, MagSafe 3, headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

Specifications and battery ratings: Apple’s 16-inch PROLED XDR specifications.
The larger display is the reason to step up: timelines, image tools and multiple windows have more space. The $500 starting-price difference from the 14-inch OLED model also includes a different starting M5 Pro configuration.

Will every pre-order arrive on launch day?
Check the delivery estimate for your exact configuration. In its November 2 launch roundup, MacRumors reported longer waits for the base 14-inch OLED touchscreen model: 3–4 weeks in Space Black and 7–10 business days in Silver. Those were dated estimates and can change as orders are placed.
All prices above are U.S. starting prices before sales tax, checked November 4, 2026. Upgraded memory, storage, display glass and cellular connectivity change the total.
