Was October 27, 2026 a day big tech announced something?
YES
Yes — though big tech front-loaded it: Apple's iPad mini, an OpenAI model and Microsoft's buyouts all landed Monday.
Why
- Apple announced 8th-gen iPad mini with OLED and A20 Pro on Oct 26
- OpenAI shipped GPT-6.1 Terra at half the token price
- Microsoft offered buyouts to about 60,000 employees (27% of staff)
