Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro is now arriving to customers in Australia and New Zealand, where it is Friday, November 6. Customers who preordered the PROLED touchscreen MacBook Pro are among those starting to receive their devices.
The new high-end MacBook Pro models come with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. The major change is the display, which is touch-enabled and is the first Mac with an OLED display. The design has been updated, making the new machines thinner and lighter than the mini-LED models, which Apple is still selling. Apple also brought back the glowing Apple logo and replaced the notch with a Dynamic Island.
Pricing on the PROLED MacBook Pro starts at $2,899 for the 14-inch model and $3,399 for the 16-inch model. Both sizes use Apple's M5 Pro or M5 Max chips and go on sale November 6, 2026.
Reported specifications describe a tandem OLED display with up to 2,000 nits of brightness, a 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Tandem OLED stacks two emissive layers, which generally lets a panel reach higher brightness and last longer than a single-layer design. Apple has not published lifetime or burn-in data for the new panel.
The OLED iPad mini is Apple's first smaller-screened iPad to get OLED and is also the most affordable OLED iPad. It is almost a millimeter thinner than the prior version and has an Acoustic Display that does away with speaker holes. Without them, the enclosure is sealed, making it the first iPad with a water and dust resistance rating (IP67). It uses Apple's A20 Pro chip. The OLED iPad mini starts at $699.
The 14-inch entry-level MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac received updates beyond an M6 chip. The MacBook Pro is priced starting at $1,999, and the iMac starts at $1,499.
Australia is the first country where customers can buy one of the new products in an Apple retail location. Online orders of the PROLED MacBook Pro do not ship until late November or early December, so in-store stock may be limited. The OLED iPad mini, 14-inch MacBook Pro, and iMac should be readily available.
After Australia and New Zealand, sales and deliveries of the new Macs and iPad mini will begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America.
