Apple bets AI-first M7, skipping M6 Pro/Max until 2027–28

TL;DR Summary
Bloomberg reports Apple will skip M6 Pro/Max and fast‑track an AI‑focused M7 lineup: a base M6 could ship as early as this year, the M7 base in the first half of 2027, and M7 Pro/Max by late 2027, with the M7 Ultra expected in 2028. The M5 Ultra may be the only near‑term upgrade for high‑end Macs, potentially delaying top‑tier silicon until 2027–28.
