Why Apple Is Skipping M6 Pro and Max Chips

Here’s Why Apple is Reportedly Skipping M6 Pro and M6 Max Chips by Joe Rossignol

A new 14-inch MacBook Pro with a base M6 chip will be released later this year, and then Apple plans to move on to releasing the base M7 chip in the first half of 2027, M7 Pro and M7 Max chips in late 2027, and an M7 Ultra chip in 2028.

The reason is AI. There is significant improvement in the M7 generation, specifically the Ultra.

Guess I’m waiting till M7 Macs come out to upgrade. Hopefully the M1 lasts till then.
