Recent reports indicate Apple will skip high-end M6 variants, moving from an M5 Ultra update in late 2026 to a significantly upgraded M7 Ultra model in 2028.

Why this matters

Pro users waiting for a substantial hardware overhaul may need to hold out until 2028, as the upcoming M5 model is expected to focus solely on internal chip performance.

Confidence reason

The report cites Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a highly reliable source for Apple hardware roadmaps.
