South Korea Rules Against Apple Over App Store Payment Rules
South Korea has fined Apple 20.8 billion won ($15.5 million) and ordered it to let developers link to external payment options from their apps, The Associated Press reports. The Korea Media and Communications Commission found that Apple and Google effectively require developers to use their payment systems, violating a 2021 law intended to allow alternatives. Google was fined 42.9 billion won ($32 million). Both companies allowed third-party payment services within apps, but charged developers a 26% commission and restricted some features. The regulator said these conditions pushed developers toward Apple and Google's payment systems, while rules against external payment links limited their other options. The companies must also improve their app review processes. The commission found that some reviews were delayed without clear explanations or information about when they would resume. It separately found that Apple charged South Korean developers higher commissions than overseas developers between 2015 and January 2023. Apple told The Associated Press that it disagrees with the ruling and is considering its legal options. The company says its policies comply with South Korean law and that its payment system helps protect customers against fraud.Tags: Apple Antitrust, App Store, Google, South KoreaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iOS 27.2 Adds Selfie-Based Age Verification
Apple has added selfie-based age verification in iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, allowing users in supported regions to demonstrate that they are adults without submitting a credit card or government-issued ID. The feature estimates whether someone is an adult by analyzing their face, according to a new Apple support document. The capture process involves following onscreen prompts to turn and tilt the head, providing views of the face from four directions. Apple says the verification process combines processing on the user's device with analysis through Private Cloud Compute. The results are brought together locally, and Apple says the images remain inaccessible to the company and anyone else during processing. After successful verification, the selfie is deleted. Users who receive an age confirmation prompt may be offered the option, although availability varies by location. Regional requirements determine when adult verification is necessary. Possible triggers include setting up an Apple Account, installing a software update, accessing apps rated 18+, and adjusting safety controls. Once a user has successfully established their adult status, Apple says further confirmation is unnecessary. Apple released iOS 27.2 on October 26.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Related Forum: iOS 27This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Raises MacBook Neo's Starting Price to $649 on Education Store
Apple has raised the MacBook Neo's starting price from $599 to $649 on its online education store in the U.S., meaning it now offers college students and other eligible groups only a $50 discount on the laptop, down from $100. The change was made within the past week, with equivalent increases in local currencies in other countries.

MacBook Studio?
A teaser video shared by Apple CEO John Ternus today hints at a potential name for the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays: MacBook Studio. The video shows an Apple logo being projected onto a wall against a city skyline, and perhaps that wall is a movie studio. Apple is expected to show off the new MacBooks to selected tech reporters and content creators at an experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today, and that is the home of Hollywood movie studios after all. If this theory proves to be accurate, then Apple would offer both a Mac Studio desktop computer and a MacBook Studio laptop, plus the Studio Display. Apple would likely position the MacBook Studio as being aimed at creators, and it would surely promote its recently-updated Apple Creator Studio suite of apps alongside the announcement today. This is obviously all just some last-minute speculation for fun — we did the same with iPhone Duo. The new models could stick with MacBook Pro branding, and the long-rumored MacBook Ultra name still remains a possibility too. Bonus theory: What if the teaser hints at the glowing Apple logo returning to the MacBook's lid? We truly might be getting ahead of ourselves now. Here's the teaser in case you missed it: https://t.co/2XsfEhVRJH— John Ternus (@johnternus) October 28, 2026 This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple CEO John Ternus Teases Touchscreen MacBooks: 12 Final Rumors
In a post on X today, Apple CEO John Ternus shared a short video that shows an Apple logo being projected onto a dark wall against a nighttime city skyline. This teaser comes just a few hours before Apple is expected to announce new MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays, so it is very likely in reference to that. Apple invited selected tech reporters and content creators to a "Pro and tell" experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time today. There, guests will likely receive hands-on time with the touchscreen MacBook models, along with the new iPad mini, iMac, and 14-inch MacBook Pro models that Apple already announced earlier this week. https://t.co/2XsfEhVRJH— John Ternus (@johnternus) October 28, 2026 Here are 12 final rumors for the touchscreen MacBook models:14-inch and 16-inch models OLED display with higher contrast, more vivid colors, and increased maximum brightness Touch input, alongside keyboard and trackpad A revamped, firmer hinge that prevents the display from wobbling when it is touched A redesigned cooling system that improves airflow through the hinge Dynamic Island instead of a notch Thinner bezels around the display Noticeably lower weight A slightly thinner design M5 Pro and M5 Max chips macOS Golden Gate will have touchscreen optimizations and touch-specific controls In the U.S., pricing is expected to start at or above $2,899 for the 14-inch model and at or above $3,399 for the 16-inch model It is likely that the touchscreen MacBook models will be available to pre-order starting at exactly 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time today.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: John TernusBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Touchscreen MacBook Pro's New Hinge Linked to iPhone Duo 2
Apple's upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro will feature hinge improvements related to changes planned for future iPhone Duo models, according to a last-minute claim ahead of its expected announcement later today. In a new Weibo post, the leaker known as "Fixed Focus Digital" said that one of the new ‌MacBook Pro‌'s key upgrades is its hinge design. The improved design is apparently related to plans for the second- and third-generation ‌iPhone Duo‌. The MacBook hinge claim aligns with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman's reporting that Apple has redesigned the mechanism to keep the display steady during touch input, alongside cooling changes that improve airflow through the hinge area. Gurman has separately said that Apple is considering a larger inner display for a future ‌iPhone Duo‌, potentially measuring around 7.9 to 8.1 inches compared to the current model's 7.6 inches. It is unclear whether the hinge changes mentioned by Fixed Focus Digital relate to that potential redesign. The leaker also reiterated that the new ‌MacBook Pro‌ will use a dual-layer OLED display and carry a substantial price increase. Gurman separately reported that Apple has discussed a $2,899 starting price for the 14-inch model with an M5 Pro chip, up from $2,499 for the existing equivalent. Apple is expected to announce the redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ models later today, alongside its "Pro and tell" media experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time.Related Roundups: iPhone Duo, MacBook ProTag: Fixed Focus DigitalBuyer's Guide: iPhone Duo (Buy Now), MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forums: iPhone, MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

MacPaw Launches 'Eney' AI Assistant for Mac and iPhone
MacPaw has launched Eney, a proactive AI assistant for Mac and iPhone that the company says understands what is happening across a user's apps, files, and system, prepares the next step, and asks before it acts. On Mac, Eney offers copy-triggered suggestions, bot-free meeting transcription with notes and follow-ups, and ready-made workflows such as Morning Brief and Plan My Day. An "Eney Wand" (Option-W) acts on whatever is dragged over to it, and can translate text, convert prices, turn dates into calendar events, and extract text from images. The app also surfaces Mac care warnings for low disk space, memory pressure, and crashing apps, and connects to Apple Mail, Calendar, and Reminders out of the box, plus Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, Notion, Jira, and Linear. MacPaw calls Eney "proactive, never autonomous", since by default it asks before sending a message, changing an event, or moving a file. Eney is also the first product powered by MacPaw's own AI stack, including a memory layer called Mnemos that MacPaw says manages only Eney's own memory and never reads or changes user files. Eney for Mac is available to download from eney.ai and requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. There's a free 14-day trial that includes 10,000 AI credits, after which an AI credits subscription is required. A Starter plan with 10,000 AI credits costs $14.99/month, a Boost plan with 25,000 credits costs $29.99/month, and a Power plan with 50,000 credits costs $49.99/month. Signing in with a Setapp account is supported, but MacPaw says a Setapp membership is not required on the Mac. An iPhone companion app is also available on the App Store – although its listing describes the app as a companion for active Setapp members, so the eligibility terms on mobile are unclear.

Pill-Shaped macOS 27 Assets Hint at Dynamic Island for MacBook Pro
Ahead of Apple's expected debut of new touchscreen MacBook Pro models, five compact, pill-shaped system assets have been discovered in macOS 27 that resemble the iPhone's Dynamic Island. The new MacBook Pros are expected to feature a Dynamic Island-like cutout for the FaceTime camera, finally doing away with the notch that has been part of the machine's design since 2021. Uncovered by code explorer pdfu and shared on X (Twitter), the pill-shaped views cover AirPods connection, Focus activation, AirPods noise cancellation, low battery, and automatic audio switching. The graphics are linked to a new menu bar component called MenuBarAgent, which "paves the way for a touchscreen Mac and a Dynamic Island," according to pdfu. "Some system compact and minimal views already ship," he added. He also claims Siri AI will eventually occupy what he calls the new "system aperture" in a droplet-like design. The views line up with our previous reporting on macOS 27's touchscreen Mac hints ahead of the touchscreen MacBook Pro models Apple is set to announce later today.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTags: Dynamic Island, pdfuBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Touchscreen MacBook Pro to Debut Today With These 5 Features
Some reports have suggested the new high-end MacBook Pro models that Apple is expected to announce today might not be called ‌MacBook Pro‌s at all. They could in fact be something altogether new and more exciting – "MacBook Ultra," perhaps – marketed as the company's top-tier laptop offering. The machines are expected to sit above the current M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, rather than replace them, suggesting the latter will remain in Apple's lineup. One thing to state up front is that Apple is expected to stick with the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips for its touchscreen MacBook models. Apple reportedly plans to skip what would have been the "M6 Pro" and "M6 Max" for more powerful "M7 Pro" and "M7 Max" chips. Apple announced the new entry-level 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ with the M6 chip yesterday, ahead of pre-orders opening today, but the first "MacBook Ultra" models will use M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, after which second-generation models will come with M7 Pro and Max chips in late 2027. Apple has already unveiled most of a second set of new products this week, as MacRumors' sources earlier indicated: the OLED iPad mini arrived on Monday, and the M6 iMac and M6 14-inch MacBook Pro followed yesterday. The new touchscreen models are expected to debut today at Apple's "Pro and tell" event in Los Angeles and become available for pre-order at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time, with Bloomberg reporting that availability could begin as early as November 6. Recent reports have referred to the machines simply as new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, so the final name remains uncertain. Below, we've listed the features and changes we are expecting for the new high-end MacBook Pro models. OLED Display Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say Apple is readying OLED technology for these models, and industry reports corroborate their claims. Samsung Display is said to be making the panels exclusively, and the supplier has invested heavily in an 8.6-generation OLED production line in South Korea. The line reached a key milestone for mass production in May. OLED presents an overall upgrade over the current mini-LED display technology, bringing deeper colors and a higher contrast ratio with true blacks. In an OLED display, individual pixels turn off instead of dimming when not activated, so there's less light leakage and better power efficiency. OLED displays also tend to have better HDR output than mini-LED, but they don't always match mini-LED brightness levels. Touchscreen The new ‌MacBook Pro‌ is expected to become the first Mac to support touch input directly on the display. It's a notable shift from Apple's longstanding position against bringing touchscreen functionality to the Mac. Apple previously experimented with touch controls through the OLED Touch Bar on earlier ‌MacBook Pro‌ models, but the feature was ultimately discontinued following a lukewarm reception. Rather than positioning the ‌MacBook Pro‌ as a touch-centric device like the ‌iPad‌, Apple is reportedly planning to let users move seamlessly between touch and traditional trackpad or mouse input across the system. There are features in ‌macOS Golden Gate‌ that hint at a future touchscreen Mac. Apple added direct touch input to Sidecar so users can tap and interact with macOS elements when using the ‌iPad‌ as a Mac display. macOS Golden Gate‌ also supports an iPhone-style pull-to-refresh option, and it can be used across apps like Safari, Mail, News, Podcasts, and Calendar. A pull-to-refresh option makes the most sense on a touch display. Reinforced Hinge Apple has reportedly developed a reinforced hinge and screen hardware to prevent the display from bouncing back or moving when touched. Apple is apparently aware of the same issue that plagues existing touch PCs. Lighter Design Gurman has reported that Apple is working to make the OLED MacBook Pro thinner, as part of the company's plan to create "the thinnest and lightest products in their categories across the whole tech industry." (Think the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air – two of the thinnest devices the company has ever made.) Indeed, the reporter said there's a good chance that the next MacBook Pro model will represent a "true overhaul" for the laptop, thanks to the combination of the OLED display and thinner design. In October 2025, Gurman reported that the OLED MacBook Pro models would have "thinner and lighter" frames. Then again in November 2025, he said the touchscreen models would have "a thinner chassis." However, Gurman has walked back somewhat on his previous reporting that Apple's upcoming touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro will be thinner than current models. "I don't think it'll be significantly thinner in the end," he said in early October 2026. Dynamic Island The MacBook Ultra could ditch the current notch used in the MacBook Pro models for a display cutout potentially similar to the iPhone's Dynamic Island, according to Bloomberg. Such a move would mirror Apple's iPhone evolution, since the iPhone's notch became the current Dynamic Island starting with the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022. As with the iPhone‌, the Mac ‌Dynamic Island‌ will be interactive and it will contextually expand based on the app or Mac feature in use. The change should address long-standing user complaints about the notch, which physically ingresses into the macOS menu bar. Price Changes There is no doubt that Apple will unveil the new MacBook Pro models as ultra-premium products carrying price tags that are higher than the current MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch models. Apple increased the prices of all its Macs in June 2026 – MacBook Pro‌ pricing went up $300 – so the "MacBook Ultra" will likely be even more expensive than expected. ‌ For what it's worth, the higher-end 14-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ with M5 Pro chip starts at $2,499 after the price increase, while the 16-inch M5 Pro ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $2,999. More specifically, Bloomberg reported this week that Apple has discussed charging $2,899 for the new 14-inch model with an M5 Pro chip, which would mean a starting price of at least $3,399 for the 16-inch model.

Apple Shares tvOS 27.2 Release Notes With List of New Features
tvOS 27.2 was released on Monday for the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and newer, but the Apple TV does not show release notes for software updates in the Settings app. Instead, Apple periodically updates a support document outlining what is new in tvOS updates, and the release notes for tvOS 27.2 are now available. Note that Apple never released a tvOS 27.1 version, so tvOS 27.2 is the first Apple TV software update since tvOS 27 was released in September. Apple says tvOS 27.2 includes a few FaceTime enhancements, plus the ability to shuffle through different screen saver categories. In addition, the Find My app now supports the Siri Remote (2nd generation) and later, but Precision Finding is limited to the Siri Remote (4th generation). The update also contains bug fixes and security patches. Here are Apple's full tvOS 27.2 release notes:This update brings new ways to stay connected with FaceTime, personalize your screen saver, and locate your Siri Remote with Find My, along with bug fixes and security updates for your Apple TV 4K. FaceTime FaceTime links make it easier to join calls directly from your Apple TV. Sign language interpreter and captioning support lets you add third-party services to your calls. Screen Savers Photo personalization lets you use your iPhone to choose specific photos for your screen saver without sharing your full library with Apple TV. Shuffle option lets you enjoy different screen saver categories as your Apple TV cycles through them. Find My Find My support lets you locate your Siri Remote (2nd generation) or later using your iPhone.Apple said Siri AI will be available on the Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) and newer, but this functionality is not yet enabled on these models on tvOS 27.2. The new Apple TV 4K (4th generation) launches on Friday, November 13, and Siri AI is one of its headline new features, so perhaps the feature will come to older models closer to then.Related Roundup: Apple TVBuyer's Guide: Apple TV (Buy Now)Related Forum: Apple TV and Home TheaterThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

OLED Touchscreen MacBook Pro Could Start at $2,899
Apple's 14-inch OLED MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro chip could be $400 more expensive than the current model, reports Bloomberg. Apple has "discussed" charging $2,899 for the upcoming M5 Pro model. The current M5 Pro ‌MacBook Pro‌ starts at $2,499. The 16-inch ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ could start at $3,399 if it gets the same $400 price increase, though Bloomberg suggests the larger version might be even more expensive. Apple is adding ‌OLED‌ touchscreens to the 14-inch and 16-inch ‌MacBook Pro‌, but they will use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips as the current models. Other features include a Dynamic Island, a redesigned hinge that keeps the display steady when touched, thinner bezels, and a slimmer and lighter body. Apple updated the cooling system to cut weight and improve airflow through the hinge. Apple is expected to continue selling the existing mini-LED ‌MacBook Pro‌ models alongside the more expensive ‌OLED‌ models, so customers who don't want to pay for touch will have a more affordable option. The ‌OLED‌ ‌MacBook Pro‌ models will be unveiled tomorrow morning, with pre-orders set to begin at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time. Apple also plans to accept pre-orders for the ‌OLED‌ iPad mini, the M6 iMac, and the entry-level M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌.Related Roundup: MacBook ProTag: OLEDBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

M6 iMac Sticks With Its Five-Year-Old Color Lineup
The new M6 iMac models come in the same color options as the 2024 model, despite reports suggesting we could see new shades. You can buy the M6 iMac in green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and silver. Those are the seven colors that Apple used for the original 2021 ‌iMac‌ design. Apple tweaked the colors in 2024 to make the back of the ‌iMac‌ a more vibrant shade in those seven colors, but no further changes were made this year. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said back in August that "some new color options" would be available for the M6 ‌iMac‌ models, but unfortunately, we're stuck with the colors we've had for years. The new ‌iMac‌ has the M6 chip that was previously added to the Mac mini. It also includes a faster SSD and an N1 networking chip with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Pricing starts at $1,499. iMacs still ship with color-matched accessories and cables, so color choice matters more than with most Mac purchases. Pre-orders for the M6 ‌iMac‌ start on October 28 at 10:10 a.m. Pacific Time, and it launches on Friday, November 6.Related Roundup: iMacBuyer's Guide: iMac (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iMacThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

ChatGPT Can Now Access Your iCloud Mail and Calendar
OpenAI today said it added iCloud Mail and Calendar plugins to ChatGPT. With the ‌iCloud‌ Calendar integration, ChatGPT can read, schedule, and update events that show up on your iPhone's Calendar app or any third-party app that uses ‌iCloud‌ Calendar. The Mail integration lets ChatGPT search and read ‌iCloud‌ Mail, manage messages and drafts, send email, and look up ‌iCloud‌ contacts. ‌iCloud‌ Mail uses an Apple-provided email address that ends in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com. ChatGPT can only see your ‌iCloud‌ Mail, not other accounts that are in the iOS Mail app, like Gmail or Outlook. You will need to create an app-specific password for both ‌iCloud‌ Mail and ‌iCloud‌ Calendar. ‌iCloud‌ plugins give ChatGPT some of the same access that Siri AI has to personal data, expanding what the chatbot can do. ‌iCloud‌ access can also be used for Dots, the proactive AI agent that OpenAI launched last month. The ‌iCloud‌ plugins are available on all plans across the web, desktop, and iOS.Tags: ChatGPT, OpenAIThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌ retains the previous model's design and most of its specifications, concentrating its improvements on processing performance and connectivity. Both models offer 16GB of starting memory, 1TB of starting storage, and up to 24 hours of battery life. The M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ originally launched at $1,599 with 512GB of storage. Apple removed that configuration in March, making 1TB standard and increasing the starting price to $1,699. A further price increase in June brought it to $1,999 amid rising memory and storage costs. The M6 replaces that model at the same price. Here are all of the differences between the entry-level M5 and M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌ models: 14-Inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ (M5, 2025) 14-Inch ‌MacBook Pro‌ (M6, 2026) M5 chip made with TSMC's third-generation 3nm process (N3P) M6 chip made with TSMC's first-generation 2nm process (N2) FinFET transistors Gate-all-around nanosheet transistors 10-core CPU 12-core CPU 4 super cores and 6 efficiency cores 2 super cores, 4 performance cores, and 6 efficiency cores 10-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every core 12-core GPU with a Neural Accelerator in every core Enhanced shader cores Updated shader core architecture Second-generation Dynamic Caching Third-generation Dynamic Caching 16-core Neural Engine Dual 16-core Neural Engine, totaling 32 cores 153GB/s memory bandwidth across all memory configurations 16GB memory: 153GB/s 24GB or 32GB memory: 170GB/s Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) Bluetooth 5.3 Bluetooth 6 Broadcom wireless networking chip Apple N1 wireless networking chip Thread networking support Supports two external 4K displays at up to 144Hz each Supports two external 4K displays at up to 165Hz each Originally offered with 512GB storage; started with 1TB from March 2026 Starts with 1TB storage Originally $1,599; $1,699 from March and $1,999 from June; now discontinued by Apple Starts at $1,999 Should You Upgrade From the M5 MacBook Pro? For existing M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ owners, there is very little reason to upgrade. The M6 is a small refresh aimed primarily at buyers replacing a much older machine, with improvements to performance and connectivity that leave the overall experience essentially unchanged. It offers no increase in memory capacity, additional ports, or longer battery life. If the M5 model already handles your work comfortably, the newer model provides little practical incentive to replace it. If your current computer can last a little longer, it may also be worth waiting. A redesigned entry-level ‌MacBook Pro‌ with an M7 chip is reportedly planned for as early as the first half of 2027, potentially offering a more substantial upgrade than the M6 refresh. Should You Buy the M5 or M6 MacBook Pro? For buyers replacing an Intel-based Mac or an older Apple silicon machine, the M5 and M6 deliver much the same experience. The more consequential improvements come from the hardware they share, so the price and configuration should carry more weight than the chip generation. M5 vs. M6 Chip Buyer's Guide: How Much Better Really Is M6? At the same price, memory, storage, and condition, choose the M6. Its newer chip and wireless connectivity are welcome additions, but there is little reason to pay substantially more for them. A discounted M5 model is likely to be the better value for many buyers. Used and refurbished M5 models offer another potential saving: the 512GB configuration that Apple discontinued in March. If you do not need 1TB of internal storage, this version may provide a more affordable route to essentially the same ‌MacBook Pro‌ experience. The M6 starts at 1TB, leaving no equivalent lower-capacity option. A well-priced M5 with enough memory and storage for your work is still a sensible purchase, while the M6 is the straightforward choice when comparable models cost close to the same amount.Related Roundup: MacBook ProBuyer's Guide: MacBook Pro (Coming Soon)Related Forum: MacBook ProThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

The new iMac with the M6 chip can be configured with a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, which is built into the power adapter rather than the computer. The port is a $30 upgrade option for the lower-end iMac and comes standard with the higher-end model. For the previous model, the optional Ethernet port is limited to 1 Gigabit.Related Roundup: iMacBuyer's Guide: iMac (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iMacThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

M4 vs. M6 iMac Buyer's Guide: Should You Upgrade?
Apple's latest iMac skips the M5 chip and moves directly to the M6, bringing faster performance, improved connectivity, and faster storage. So how much has changed since the M4 model arrived in 2024, and is it worth upgrading? The M6 iMac starts at $1,499 in the United States, with the four-port configuration starting at $1,699. While the entry price is $200 higher than the M4 model's original $1,299 launch price, the outgoing model had already risen to $1,499 earlier in 2026. With much of the ‌iMac‌ experience unchanged, existing M4 owners may be weighing up whether the performance improvements justify replacing their machine, while new buyers may be considering a discounted older model. Here are the key differences between the M4 and M6 ‌iMac‌: ‌iMac‌ (M4, 2024) ‌iMac‌ (M6, 2026) M4 chip made using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process (N3E) M6 chip made using TSMC's first-generation 2nm process (N2) FinFET transistors Gate-all-around nanosheet transistors Two-port model: 8-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores Four-port model: 10-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores Two-port model: 10-core CPU with 2 super cores, 3 performance cores, and 5 efficiency cores Four-port model: 12-core CPU with 2 super cores, 4 performance cores, and 6 efficiency cores Two CPU core types: performance and efficiency Three CPU core types: super, performance, and efficiency Two-port model: 8-core GPU Four-port model: 10-core GPU Two-port model: 10-core GPU Four-port model: 12-core GPU Integrated Neural Accelerator in every GPU core GPU shader cores without dedicated Neural Accelerators GPU shader cores with a dedicated Neural Accelerator in every core First-generation Dynamic Caching Updated Dynamic Caching Second-generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing Hardware-accelerated ray tracing with up to 2x higher gaming performance compared with M4, according to Apple One 16-core Neural Engine Two 16-core Neural Engines, totaling 32 cores, which system frameworks can use simultaneously 120GB/s unified memory bandwidth Up to 170GB/s unified memory bandwidth SSD storage SSD storage with PCIe 5.0 support and up to 2x faster read and write performance Broadcom wireless networking chip Apple N1 wireless networking chip Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) Bluetooth 5.3 Bluetooth 6 Thread networking technology Two-port model: Optional Gigabit Ethernet Four-port model: Gigabit Ethernet as standard Two-port model: Optional 2.5Gb Ethernet Four-port model: 2.5Gb Ethernet as standard Two-port model: One external display up to 6K at 60Hz Two-port model: One external display up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz Four-port model: Two external displays up to 6K at 60Hz, or one external display up to 8K at 60Hz Four-port model: Two external displays up to 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 165Hz, or one external display up to 8K at 60Hz, 5K at 120Hz, or 4K at 240Hz Four-port model: Support for two external displays over a single Thunderbolt port 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in multiple printed circuit boards 100% recycled gold plating and tin solder in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards Over 20% of manufacturing electricity sourced from low-carbon electricity 40% of manufacturing electricity sourced from renewable electricity Apple claims the following workflow improvements for the M6 ‌iMac‌ compared with the M4 model: Up to 1.5x faster performance in Microsoft Excel. Up to 2x faster graphics performance for photo editing in Affinity. Up to 5x faster prompt processing in LM Studio. Up to 2x higher gaming performance with ray tracing. Is It Worth Upgrading From the M4 to M6 iMac? For most M4 ‌iMac‌ owners, there is little reason to upgrade. The M6's performance improvements are substantial in certain tasks, but casual tasks such as browsing, email, video calls, and streaming are already comfortably within the M4's capabilities. With the same display, camera, speakers, and overall design, the new model is unlikely to meaningfully change how most households use their ‌iMac‌. Occasional photo editing or gaming can benefit from the M6, but these improvements alone are difficult to justify replacing an otherwise capable computer. The faster networking similarly offers limited incentive unless your current connection is a particular frustration and the rest of your equipment can support the upgrade. For the typical M4 ‌iMac‌ owner, keeping the existing machine is the sensible choice. Should You Buy the M4 or M6 iMac? For buyers choosing a new family computer, the M6 ‌iMac‌ is the straightforward choice when comparable configurations are close in price. Its additional performance provides more room for demanding apps and games as your needs change, while retaining the familiar all-in-one experience. However, a substantially discounted M4 ‌iMac‌ remains an appealing purchase. Most households will get much the same everyday experience, making the saving more useful than the M6's additional processing power.Related Roundup: iMacBuyer's Guide: iMac (Coming Soon)Related Forum: iMacThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
