Overview
- Apple unveiled a 14‑inch MacBook Pro and a new iMac powered by the M6 chip, which Apple says uses a 12‑core CPU and 12‑core GPU to improve performance over the M5.
- The M6 includes dedicated AI hardware and ships with macOS 27, enabling some Apple Intelligence features and Siri functions to run locally on the machine rather than in cloud servers.
- Apple claims the M6 delivers up to 30% better graphics and up to 25% faster AI‑related tasks versus M5, and the 14‑inch MacBook Pro has a base 16GB RAM, Liquid Retina XDR display and a claimed battery life up to 24 hours.
- Connectivity and I/O are upgraded with Apple’s N1 wireless chip offering Wi‑Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 plus support for two external 4K displays at up to 165Hz, and storage and memory remain configurable to higher tiers.
- Apple India lists preorders starting October 28 with the 14‑inch MacBook Pro from ₹2,39,900 and the iMac from ₹1,74,900, with sales and deliveries scheduled to begin November 6; education pricing and final configurations will affect final cost.
