Apple Brings M6 Chip to 14-Inch MacBook Pro and iMac

The iMac is offered in two versions: a cut-down option with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, and a full configuration. Both the MacBook Pro and iMac gain Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via Apple's N1 networking chip, and the iMac adds a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port. The number of ports on the iMac is tied to the chip, with two Thunderbolt 4 ports on the base model and four on the higher-core option. The updates arrive ahead of Apple's "Pro and Tell" event in Los Angeles.

According to Tom's Hardware, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 starts at $1,999 ($1,899 with an education discount). The iMac begins at $1,499 ($1,449 with education) for the 10-core configuration and $1,699 ($1,599 with education) for the full chip. Both devices are available for pre-order on Wednesday at 10:10 a.m. PT (1:10 p.m. ET) and ship on November 6.

Apple has introduced a redesigned iPad mini with an OLED screen and A20 Pro chip, with its marketing chief promising more announcements this week.
