On June 26 local time, tech journalist Mark Gurman revealed that Apple's long-rumored touchscreen MacBook Pro is expected to debut later this year or in early 2027, featuring the inaugural M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Apple also plans to release an upgraded version equipped with the M7 chip, aligning with previous reports that Apple will skip the M6 Pro and M6 Max and directly launch the M7 series. Apple's decision to skip the high-end M6 chips may stem from cost pressures due to memory shortages, as evidenced by this week's price hikes for Macs and iPads.
