Apple announced M6 versions of its 14-inch MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac on October 27, setting preorders for October 28 and availability for November 6 in 35 countries and regions, including the United States.
The laptop starts at $1,999 in the U.S. The iMac starts at $1,499 for a configuration with a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, while a 12-core CPU and GPU configuration starts at $1,699. These are announced starting prices; configurations and additional options can change the cost.
The MacBook Pro has a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Apple lists 16GB of starting unified memory, configurable to 32GB, and claims up to 24 hours of battery life. Its connectivity includes HDMI, MagSafe 3, an SDXC card slot and three Thunderbolt 4 ports.
The iMac retains a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display and seven color choices. Its update adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, with up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports depending on configuration. Apple also describes faster storage and expanded capacity for running AI tasks directly on the computer.
The performance comparisons use different predecessors: Apple compares the laptop’s graphics and AI gains with the M5 MacBook Pro, while its iMac comparisons use the M4 model. Those manufacturer benchmarks do not establish that every application will improve by the same amount.
Both machines run macOS 27. Apple’s announcements describe support for Apple Intelligence and Siri AI, with feature availability dependent on language, region and software version. The announced shipment date is still ahead; this report does not imply that customers already have the new models.
