For those who are not paying close attention, this is your reminder that Apple at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time today started accepting pre-orders for five new products.

Here are the pre-order pages:
- iPad mini with OLED display
- iMac with M6 chip
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 chip
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with OLED display
- 16-inch MacBook Pro with OLED display
This is in addition to Apple still accepting pre-orders for the HomePod mini 2, which launches this Friday, October 30, and the Apple HomeView smart home hub and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, which launch on Friday, November 13.
Here are those pre-order pages:
You can also order the fourth-generation Siri Remote separately and use it with the second-generation Apple TV 4K or newer, but the Precision Finding feature requires a paired iPhone Duo, iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple also released a special-edition Beats Pill × Pokémon speaker, a new iPad mini Smart Folio, an updated World Travel Adapter Kit, and more this month.
Last, but certainly not least, the iPhone Duo was released on Friday, October 23.
What a month.
