Apple is finally bringing a design change to the M6 MacBook Pro series later this year, with the new portable Macs expected to feature a slimmer design, a redesigned hinge that’ll accommodate touchscreen capabilities, and an OLED that’s expected to outshine mini-LED technology. However, one upgrade mentioned in the latest report might not just force customers to flock to the newer models, but there’s a chance that iPad sales can suffer because of this. Cellular connectivity on the redesigned M6 MacBook Pro could reduce iPad sales momentum, as Apple is planning 5G modems on its upcoming machines Baseband chips on iPads have […]

The current and previous-generation Apple Silicon MacBook Pro releases have all relied on a single heatpipe cooling solution to help transfer heat, and for the most part, it has done a rather poor job of keeping the temperature of the chipsets low, which we’ve discussed below. What’s surprising is that these SoCs kept getting more powerful, while the cooling capacity remained the same. Thankfully, a new rumor claims that the redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch M6 MacBook Pro will be treated to a much-awaited upgrade. New 14-inch and 16-inch M6 MacBook Pro could feature a vapor chamber, according to the latest rumor […]

The M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max MacBook Pro models are going to stay relevant for a longer period, as the M6, M6 Pro, and M6 Max range that was slated to arrive in 2026 could be pushed back until 2027. Similar to why Apple’s refreshed Mac Studio isn’t going to arrive in the first half of 2026, the ongoing DRAM shortage that’s also impacting NAND flash shipments will force potential buyers to hang onto their dollars for a longer period. The base M6 MacBook Pro could launch earlier, given that it won’t share a redesign, mimicking a similar launch strategy […]

A design overhaul of the M6 MacBook Pro is expected either in late 2026 or early 2027, with Apple introducing a display transition from mini-LED to OLED for the first time in the portable Mac’s history. Typically, when the technology giant introduces a newer lineup, it ends up discontinuing the older-generation models, like it has done with the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max versions now that the M5 Pro and M5 Max family is here. However, according to the latest report, Apple isn’t going to phase out its newest SoCs or the MacBook Pro lineup that houses them because its M6 […]

Apple appears to have finally caved as it is bringing touchscreen support to its OLED M6 MacBook Pro range, scheduled to launch in either late 2026 or early 2027. For years, the Cupertino firm held its hand from adding this feature because the motivation behind this decision was simple. A touchscreen added to MacBooks would cannibalize iPad sales, which is why, according to the latest report, Apple isn’t going to offer a macOS and iPadOS software hybrid on the M6 MacBook Pro, instead sticking with a different approach with its upcoming hardware. Touch capabilities added to the OLED M6 MacBook Pro will […]
