OLED displays, M6 debuts and ‘that’ touchscreen MacBook! Apple’s latest three-day product launch event delivered exactly what was expected for once – and there’s something for everyone here.
Greg “Joz” Joswiak, Apple’s SVP of marketing, first teased the event on 19th October with the X update: “Can’t wait to pro and tell next week”. With just eight words, the ‘Pro and Tell’ event was coined with a one-week runway to get excited about major Mac updates.
So, in order of when they launched, let’s get into it…
