Apple’s first touchscreen MacBook Pro models, a new M6 iMac and an OLED iPad mini are available to buy in the UK from today, Friday 6 November 2026, after pre-orders opened at the end of October. Here is what is landing in stores, what it costs on Apple’s UK website, and which model makes sense for different buyers.
What is available from today
Five products begin arriving to customers and Apple Store locations on 6 November. The headline pair is the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display – Apple’s first Mac notebooks with a tandem OLED panel and a touchscreen. Alongside them sit a more affordable 14-inch MacBook Pro with the new M6 chip and a Mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display, the 24-inch iMac with M6, and a redesigned iPad mini with an 8.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display and an A20 Pro chip.
According to Apple’s UK Newsroom, the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display was announced for pre-order from 28 October with availability beginning Friday 6 November. The same availability window applies to the M6 iMac and the new iPad mini on Apple’s UK product pages.
MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR and touch
The PROLED models are the biggest Mac hardware change in years. Apple’s UK store lists them from £2,899 for the 14-inch M5 Pro configuration and £3,399 for the 16-inch M5 Pro. They use tandem OLED for up to 2,000 nits peak HDR and SDR brightness, a claimed 10,000,000:1 contrast ratio, ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz, and both P3 and Adobe RGB colour spaces in a single default preset — useful if you switch between photography, print design and HDR video.
Touch is built into the panel rather than layered on top, and the Dynamic Island arrives on Mac as the home for Spotlight, Live Activities and Siri AI. Apple also emphasises portability: the 14-inch PROLED model is listed from about 1.38kg on the UK site, with up to 24 hours of battery life on Apple’s test configurations, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, HDMI, an SDXC card slot, MagSafe, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Chips are M5 Pro or M5 Max, with unified memory configurable up to 128GB and storage up to 16TB. Touch works alongside the keyboard and trackpad, and Apple says many apps already respond because macOS can map touches to clicks, with deeper Multi-Touch support coming to creative tools.
M6 MacBook Pro and iMac for everyone else
Not every buyer needs a £2,899 OLED touchscreen. The standard 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 starts at £1,999 on Apple UK and keeps the Mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR panel without touch. It is the clearer pick if you want Apple silicon speed, a bright XDR screen and pro ports without paying the PROLED premium. Higher configurations still offer M5 Pro and M5 Max on that Mini-LED line for users who need more GPU and memory headroom.
The new 24-inch iMac with M6 starts at £1,499. Apple positions it as a major step for families, small businesses and creators who want an all-in-one, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, optional faster Ethernet, up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports depending on configuration, and the familiar seven colour finishes with matching accessories. For anyone still on an Intel iMac, it is the simplest route into a modern Mac without choosing a laptop.
OLED finally comes to iPad mini
The new iPad mini starts at £699 for Wi-Fi on Apple UK, with cellular models priced higher. Apple says it is 14 per cent thinner than the previous generation, uses an 8.5-inch OLED Super Retina XDR panel with up to 1,200 nits peak brightness and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and is powered by A20 Pro with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI. Siri AI starts in English on iPadOS and is not initially available in the EU. Optional nano-texture glass is available on higher storage models, and Apple rates the tablet IP67 for splash, water and dust resistance under laboratory conditions. It supports Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), which remain sold separately.
UK buying advice
If you edit photo or video on the go and care about true blacks, Adobe RGB coverage and on-glass interaction, the PROLED MacBook Pro is the meaningful upgrade, budget from £2,899, or £3,399 if you want the 16-inch panel. If you mainly need a fast portable Mac for everyday pro work, the £1,999 M6 MacBook Pro covers the essentials. Desk users should look at the £1,499 M6 iMac. And if you want a pocketable tablet with a proper OLED panel for reading, notes and travel media, the £699 iPad mini is the clearest consumer story of the day.
