Summary

  • John Poole told MacRumors a supposed Geekbench result for Apple’s unreleased M6 Pro chip is likely fake, citing internal inconsistencies he found in the listing.
  • That skepticism undercuts a benchmark that surfaced this week and appeared to show early performance for a chip Apple has not announced.
  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously reported Apple plans to skip both the M6 Pro and M6 Max, making any purported M6 Pro result especially suspect.
