Apple Plans M6 Chip Launch in 2024, Skips M6 Pro/Max, Targets AI-Focused M7 Series by 2027

Analysed 29 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·tech
Apple Plans M6 Chip Launch in 2024, Skips M6 Pro/Max, Targets AI-Focused M7 Series by 2027PreviousNext

Apple is reportedly adjusting its silicon roadmap by skipping the M6 Pro, Max, and Ultra chips, focusing instead on launching the standard M6 chip later this year and introducing an AI-focused M7 family starting in 2027. The M5-powered Mac Studio refresh is expected in 2026 without major design changes, while a redesigned M7 Ultra Mac Studio is planned for 2028. These shifts highlight Apple's increasing emphasis on AI performance and memory bandwidth in its future chips.
