Apple Delays OLED MacBook Pro M7 Upgrade to Late 2027, Skipping M6 Pro Chips

Summary
Late-2027 OLED MacBook Pro models will keep the current M5 Pro and M5 Max until Apple rolls out M7 Pro and M7 Max chips, leaving the redesign without a near-term silicon bump.
Apple is effectively ending the M6 family after limited use in the Mac mini, with only an M6 iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro still planned.
The shift skips M6 Pro, M6 Max and M6 Ultra entirely as Apple redirects resources to M7 chips designed with stronger AI-workload capabilities.
An M7 MacBook Pro at the low end is slated for next year, while M7 Ultra is targeted for 1H 2028, making a new Mac Studio in 2027 unlikely.
