Apple has signaled that it is moving beyond M6 chips for its upcoming MacBook Pro models, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The tech giant debuted the M6 chip in the Mac mini and is planning to use it in an M6 iMac and an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro. However, Apple is not expected to release M6 Pro, M6 Max, or M6 Ultra chips.
Instead, the company will transition from the M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra chips to the M7 lineup. The OLED MacBook Pro models will initially use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips found in the current MacBook Pro models, with no chip upgrade anticipated until 2027. Gurman suggests that high-end touchscreen MacBook Pro models will receive M7 Pro and M7 Max chips by the end of next year.
A refreshed low-end MacBook Pro with an M7 chip is also slated for a 2026 launch, while an M7 Ultra chip is expected for the first half of 2028. It appears Apple is prioritizing the development of M7 chips, which incorporate technologies for artificial intelligence workloads.
