Multiple outlets report competing but related rumors about Apple’s next premium MacBook lineup and its chip roadmap. Engadget says Apple’s “MacBook Ultra” is rumored to include a touchscreen and that the company may not wait for the next-generation M7 chips before launching such a model. Other coverage points to a broader transition in Apple Silicon planning: Bloomberg reports Apple plans to skip higher-end M6 Mac chips in favor of an AI-focused M7 line, while KitGuru reports Apple cancels M6 Pro and M6 Max to focus on M7. Separately, 9to5Mac says Apple is working on an “M7 Ultra Mac Studio” for 2028, describing it as potentially including a major upgrade. Mezha similarly frames expectations that a touchscreen MacBook could arrive ahead of M7 chips. Taken together, the reporting suggests Apple may introduce a touchscreen MacBook model relatively soon while its higher-end chip offerings shift toward M7 variants, with further high-end workstation updates potentially arriving later.
