According to reports, Apple will skip the M6 Pro, M6 Max, and M6 Ultra chips and concentrate resources on developing the M7 series, which supports artificial intelligence computing. This also means that the upcoming OLED version of the MacBook Pro will still use the M5 series chip, and high-end models will not upgrade to the M7 Pro and M7 Max until the end of 2027. Reporter Mark Gurman reiterated in a podcast on Thursday that Apple's M6 chip series “almost ends there.” Apple is already equipped with the M6 on the Mac mini, and is also planning to launch an M6-equipped iMac and an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro, but it has no plans to manufacture the M6 Pro, M6 Max, or M6 Ultra with higher performance. As a result, the chips for high-end Macs will jump directly from the M5 series to the M7 series. The upcoming OLED version of the MacBook Pro will still use the M5 Pro and M5 Max, which were introduced in March of this year. They are the same as the current models, and the chip will not be upgraded simultaneously when the new screen is replaced. According to Gurman, the new entry-level MacBook Pro with the M7 chip will be launched in 2027, while the high-end touchscreen version of the MacBook Pro will not be equipped with the M7 Pro and M7 Max until the end of 2027. As for the higher-performing M7 Ultra, it's not expected to be released until the first half of 2028. As a result, it is unlikely that a new Mac Studio will launch in 2027.
