Apple has unveiled a new 14-inch Apple M6 MacBook Pro and a new iMac built around its latest M6 chip, presenting both machines as better suited to running artificial intelligence (AI) tasks on the device itself rather than only in the cloud.
The company said the 14-inch MacBook Pro starts at $1,999 and the iMac at $1,499. Customers can begin pre-ordering both products from Wednesday in 35 countries and regions, including the United States, with availability set to start on November 6.
What Apple claims for the M6 machines
According to Apple, the Apple M6 MacBook Pro delivers up to 30% faster graphics and up to 25% faster AI performance than its M5 predecessor. The company also said the laptop offers up to 24 hours of battery life, which it described as the longest ever in a Mac.
For the desktop, Apple said the new iMac delivers up to 5x faster on-device AI performance than the previous M4 model. On-device AI means the computer processes AI workloads locally on its own chip, which can matter for speed, privacy, and working when an internet link is weak or unavailable.
Pricing, pre-orders and availability
The entry prices set a clear floor for buyers comparing the two new machines: $1,999 for the 14-inch Apple M6 MacBook Pro and $1,499 for the iMac. Pre-orders open Wednesday across the 35 markets Apple named, and stock is scheduled to become available from November 6. The source material does not list Pakistan among those markets or give a local rupee price.
What comes next on Apple’s calendar
The launches come a day before Apple hosts a “Pro and tell” event in Los Angeles on October 28. Reports say that event is expected to feature Apple’s first touch-screen MacBook Pro. That claim has not been confirmed by Apple in the material used for this story.
