The four launch Fridays stretch just hit its Mac-and-mini payday. As of Friday, November 6, Apple’s OLED iPad mini, M6 iMac and 14-inch M6 MacBook Pro, and touchscreen PROLED MacBook Pros are available to buy from Apple’s online store and the Apple Store app.
MacRumors reports that the first pre-order deliveries are arriving today, and units are reaching Apple Store locations and Apple Authorized Resellers. AppleInsider adds that U.S. customers should start seeing Friday-morning deliveries as carriers run their routes, with in-store pickup and walk-in purchases opening the same day.
This is the availability story, not another announcement deep-dive. Here’s what you can buy today, what it costs, and where the wait still is.
OLED iPad mini (8th gen)
Apple’s smallest tablet finally gets OLED. Per MacRumors’ launch-day rundown:
- 8.5-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, up to 1,200 nits peak, with a nano-texture option on 256GB and 512GB models
- A20 Pro and N1 (Wi-Fi 7 / Bluetooth 6)
- 5.4 mm / 255 g, with IP67 sealing and Acoustic Display audio (no speaker holes)
- Landscape 12MP Center Stage camera; Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C)
U.S. pricing: $699 (Wi-Fi 128GB), $799 / $999 for 256GB / 512GB, +$100 for nano-texture on those configs, cellular from $849, education from $649.
The main early-review knock is still refresh rate: 60Hz, no ProMotion. If smooth scrolling is non-negotiable, try one in a store before you lock in an order.
M6 iMac
First iMac update since M4. MacRumors says the M6 brings up to a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, with Apple claiming up to 2x faster graphics versus the prior generation, plus Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and optional 2.5Gb Ethernet on the power adapter.
Pricing: from $1,499 (10-core CPU / 10-core GPU) and $1,699 (12/12); education from $1,449.
14-inch MacBook Pro with M6
The non-touch base Pro. From $1,999, with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, plus N1 Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Same starting price as before the chip bump — the real decision today is whether you want this machine or the pricier touchscreen PROLED models below.
Touchscreen MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR
The headline hardware of the week: 14-inch from $2,899, 16-inch from $3,399, with M5 Pro or M5 Max, a Dynamic Island in place of the notch, and up to 2,000 nits for both SDR and HDR.
The catch: online ship times
Here’s the new angle versus the announcement posts. MacRumors says Apple’s online checkout currently shows many Space Black and Silver touchscreen configurations shipping in 2–3 weeks. If you want one sooner, a walk-in Apple Store is the better bet for base configs that are typically on hand.
That’s the opposite of last month’s iPhone Duo scramble, where walk-in stock evaporated. For these Macs, the store may be faster than the truck.
Quick buyer’s map

If you already pre-ordered, today is when boxes should start showing up. If you’re buying now, check the online delivery window and your local Apple Store before you pick a config — especially on the touchscreen Pros.
