Apple's First Touchscreen MacBook Pro with OLED Display Arrives to Customers

Apple has officially begun delivering its anticipated new hardware lineup to customers. With Friday, November 6 arriving in Australia and New Zealand, early pre-order customers started receiving their brand-new devices. The initial shipments include the groundbreaking PROLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, the updated OLED iPad mini, and refreshed M6-powered Macs.

  • Customers in Australia and New Zealand are the first to receive the new Apple devices.
  • The new MacBook Pro features a touchscreen OLED display, thinner chassis, and Dynamic Island.
  • The OLED iPad mini introduces an Acoustic Display and IP67 water and dust resistance.
  • Global rollouts will soon expand to Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

PROLED MacBook Pro Features and Pricing The high-end MacBook Pro models represent a milestone for Apple, introducing the company's first-ever Mac with an OLED and touch-enabled display. Powered by M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, the redesigned machines are visibly thinner and lighter than their mini-LED predecessors. Apple has also brought back the iconic glowing logo to the lid and replaced the traditional display notch with a Dynamic Island. Pricing for the PROLED MacBook Pro starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch variant and $3,399 for the larger 16-inch model.

OLED iPad mini and Minor Lineup Updates The OLED iPad mini marks Apple's first small-form-factor tablet to adopt OLED technology, positioning itself as the most affordable OLED iPad to date. It is nearly a millimeter thinner than its predecessor and incorporates an Acoustic Display, eliminating speaker holes entirely. This sealed design grants the tablet an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, a first for any iPad. Powered by the A20 Pro chip, the tablet starts at $699. Meanwhile, the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac received modest upgrades limited to the inclusion of M6 processors.

Availability and Global Release Schedule Australia stands out as the first region where consumers can purchase the new hardware directly inside Apple retail locations. However, online orders for the PROLED MacBook Pro are backordered through late November or early December, suggesting that in-store stock will likely face high demand and limited quantities. Devices like the OLED iPad mini and base MacBook Pro are expected to maintain steady availability. Following the launch in Oceania, deliveries will progressively expand to Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
