Apple has announced updated iMac and entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro models powered by its M6 chip, which debuted in the Mac mini several weeks earlier. For the iMac, preorders begin at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time on October 28, with availability starting November 6.
The 24-inch iMac comes in two M6 configurations. A model with two Thunderbolt 4 ports has a 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU, supporting up to 24GB of unified memory and 1TB of storage. A four-port version has a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, with options reaching 32GB of memory and 2TB of storage. The display remains a 4.5K Retina panel with 500 nits of brightness.
Apple says the M6 iMac delivers up to twice the graphics performance and nearly five times the on-device AI performance of the previous M4 model. It also adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and an optional 2.5Gb Ethernet connection, while retaining a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera and seven color choices.
The entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro uses the 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU version of the M6. It can be configured with up to 32GB of unified memory and 4TB of storage. The new iMac continues to use Thunderbolt 4 and supports as many as two external 6K displays.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Limit the preorder dates and Thunderbolt claim to the iMac, as the supplied sources do not establish those details for the MacBook Pro. - "Preorders begin at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time on October 28, with availability starting November 6.": The supplied timing source supports these dates for the iMac only, while the story presents them as applying to both announced models. - "Apple has not moved these models to Thunderbolt 5": The sources support the Thunderbolt 4 comparison for the iMac, not for both the iMac and MacBook Pro.
