Apple’s Touchscreen MacBook to Use M5 Pro and M5 Max Chips, Not M6: Report
Bloomberg says the OLED models would use M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, while Apple delays M7 Pro and M7 Max until 2027 for heavier GPU work.
- On Friday, Bloomberg reported that Apple will equip its upcoming OLED MacBook models with M5 Pro or M5 Max chips in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes, marking the company's first touchscreen Mac.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported on Thursday that Apple is altering its silicon strategy by skipping higher-end M6 Pro and M6 Max processors, directly impacting the anticipated OLED MacBook.
- These new MacBooks mark Apple's first-ever touchscreen Mac, replacing the existing notch with a Dynamic Island design while transitioning to OLED panels for improved color contrast and brightness.
- Consumers should prepare for premium pricing, as an OLED MacBook will likely exceed the current $4,100 cost of high-end M5 Max configurations, with models arriving between late this year and early next year.
- Bloomberg reports Apple is already in "advanced testing" of M7 Pro and M7 Max chips for future models, planned for release as early as the end of 2027 and potentially expanding OLED to the MacBook Air.
