Apple began accepting preorders for five newly listed devices at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time, with Amazon also offering a reported selection. The rollout forms part of an eight-product preorder lineup, as first reported by 9to5Mac.
Five products are scheduled to arrive on November 6: an OLED iPad mini, an M6 iMac, and a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip. The group also includes 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with OLED displays.
Three home products follow on separate dates
Preorders also remain open for the HomePod mini 2, Apple HomeView, and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. The HomePod mini 2 is due on October 30, while HomeView, described as a smart-home hub, and the Apple TV 4K are set for November 13.
The schedule broadens Apple’s late-year device calendar beyond its phones and computers. The iPhone Duo launched on October 23, and Apple also released a Pokémon special-edition Beats Pill speaker, an iPad mini Smart Folio, and an updated World Travel Adapter Kit during the month.
The release cadence affects several Apple product categories
For buyers, the staggered dates matter because the announcements cover the iPad mini, desktop Macs, laptops, speakers, home controls and streaming hardware. Customers planning a home setup or a computer purchase can now time purchases around three delivery windows rather than a single launch day.
Several details remain unresolved. No prices were included in the available reports, and they do not establish which products can be ordered directly from Apple, Amazon, or both. The iPad mini is described in one account as an M6 model and another as an OLED model, while a touchscreen MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display may or may not be the same device as the OLED MacBook Pro models.
The fourth-generation Siri Remote is available separately. Its Precision Finding feature requires pairing with an iPhone Duo, iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
