Apple refreshes the iMac, entry-level MacBook Pro with the M6 chip

Additionally, the N1 chip brings Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.

The short version

• Apple has announced refreshes for the iMac and the entry-level, 14-inch MacBook Pro .
• Both machines are getting the M6 chip, which was introduced in the Mac mini several weeks ago.
• The M6 is split into two variants for the iMac.

What happened

Picking the “M6 chip with two Thunderbolt ports” option gets you a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, whereas picking “M6 chip with four Thunderbolt ports” gets you 12 cores for each, instead. The two-port variant maxes out at 24 GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, whereas the four-port one maxes out at 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage.

Why it matters

There’s only one M6 chip option for the MacBook Pro—the one with the 12-core GPU and CPU.
