Apple delays Pro/Max chips until M7 in 2027, skipping M6 variants

Apple will skip Pro and Max versions of its M6 chip, instead fast-tracking technologies for the M7 launch in 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The shift means Apple's most powerful Macs will wait two more years for major processor upgrades. The M6 lineup is expected to debut in 2026 with only standard chips.
