The article reports, via Mark Gurman's Bloomberg sources, that Apple is compressing its M6 chip generation (skipping Pro/Max/Ultra variants) and accelerating M7 production to 2027–2028, driven by AI workload requirements. The concrete claim: M7 Ultra Macs arriving in 2028 will support up to 1.5TB RAM (roughly double M5 Ultra capacity), potentially pricing a maxed configuration above $50,000 when accounting for current RAM costs. The author grounds this in a 2019 precedent (1.5TB RAM alone cost $25,000 then) and Nvidia Blackwell GPU pricing ($12,499+) as a performance comparison class. Key caveat: this is sourced to unnamed sources via Gurman; no official Apple statements exist. The timeline and final price remain speculative, contingent on 2028 memory markets and whether Apple actually offers the full 1.5TB tier.
