Apple has officially updated its iMac and entry-level MacBook Pro models to include the M6 chipset. This processor, which was first introduced in the Mac Mini this past August, represents a significant performance upgrade for both the all-in-one desktop and the laptop.

For the iMac, this refresh arrives two years after the previous M4-based model. Apple has opted to bypass the M5 series entirely for the iMac, moving directly to the M6, which is noted as the company’s first 2nm chip. The starting price for the updated iMac is set at $1,499. According to reports, the physical design of the iMac remains largely unchanged from the previous generation.

Simultaneously, Apple has applied a similar spec bump to the entry-level MacBook Pro. This update follows a previous refresh that occurred just one year ago, which featured the M5 chip. Similar to the iMac, the MacBook Pro update is primarily focused on internal performance gains rather than external hardware changes. The design, port layout, webcam, and speaker systems remain consistent with the previous iteration of the laptop. While the Verge reports that the previous MacBook Pro update offered minimal changes beyond the processor and storage capacity, the current move to the M6 chip is intended to provide a more substantial performance increase for users.
