Apple Updates MacBook Pro and iMac With M6 Chips

Apple has introduced new M6-powered versions of its 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac, bringing its latest processor to both computers. The MacBook Pro also carries Apple’s claim of up to 24 hours of battery life, while the iMac update focuses on performance and connectivity.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro features an M6 chip with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU. Apple says it delivers up to 30% faster graphics and up to 25% faster AI performance compared with the previous M5 model. The laptop also adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

Apple rates the new MacBook Pro for up to 24 hours of battery life. This is Apple’s stated maximum for the laptop; the figure does not apply to the iMac.

The refreshed iMac is available with either a 10-core CPU and GPU or a higher-end configuration with a 12-core CPU and GPU. It retains its 24-inch display and is available in seven colors. Apple says the M6-powered model brings faster performance and expanded on-device AI capabilities.

In the United States, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 starts at $1,999. The iMac starts at $1,499 for the 10-core configuration, while the 12-core model starts at $1,699. These are U.S. prices, and Apple has not specified Pakistan pricing in the cited announcements.

Pre-orders for both computers opened on October 28 in 35 countries and regions, including the United States. Apple says availability at stores and with authorized resellers is scheduled to begin November 6.

The launch gives customers new M6 options across Apple’s laptop and desktop lines. Buyers comparing the two should note that the 24-hour battery claim is specific to the MacBook Pro, while the iMac is a desktop computer.
