Can we just agree that the chance of an OLED M6 coming this fall is exactly ZERO percent?

Probably because TSMC is allocating more of their production capacity for the more profitable NVidia (and AMD) chips
nVidia is squeezing out Apple for TSMC foundry capacity
Apple will still benefit as TMSC confirms large-volume production has started for its newest 2nm processor, but as Nvidia ascends, Apple's days of being able to command the firm's entire output are over — for now.

So, next week then? Gurman usually gets these wrong.
New MacBook Pro models with the M5 Pro and M5 Max chips could arrive as soon as Monday, March 2, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In today's "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that the release of new MacBook Pro models is tied to the release of macOS Tahoe 26.3. The launch is said to be slated for as early as the week of March 2. He added that the M4 Pro and M4 Max models on sale today remain in short supply, indicating that the launch of new models is close.
Updated Mac Studio models "shouldn't arrive too long after the spring Mac refresh," according to Gurman. A new Studio Display and Mac mini continue to be on Apple's roadmap for this year, along with an all-new low-cost MacBook powered by an iPhone chip. The most significant Mac launch this year will be overhauled MacBook Pro models with OLED displays and touch support.

ain't = are not
Those MacBook Pros are not never gonna come out
The double negatives ("are not" and "never") cancel each other out, so
Those MacBook Pros gonna come out 👍

I really like the M1Pro so getting an M5 in the same form factor is appealing. My MBP screen is my secondary display with a 4k monitor as the primary and I don’t need OLED for that, especially as it sits very static most of the time and would be at risk of ghosting.False. But of course nothing is officially official until Apple themselves announces it, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...
I personally wouldn't waste my time or money on this stopgap M5 Pro/Max model however.
Redesigned OLED MacBook Pro on track to arrive this year, report claims
Based on supply-chain activity, we'll get a new-look machine, possibly with a touchscreen, before the end of 2026.www.macworld.com
just in your opinion , never speak in the name of the others without proof, also come with proof the M6 will be revolution compared to the M5 since there is 0 devices on the market with M6 and what Apple will do with it
Apple news aside, I am a Mark Gurman Power On subscriber. That means I get his email about this news already, but I didn't get the chance to read it yet. It's still in my inbox and I got 10's of unread emails there right now. However, I just read it for 'free' here on Macrumors. Somehow, I get this feeling that I don't see the value of subscribing to Bloomberg and read his newsletter, because Macrumors will eventually publish it.. for free. Sure, this website is filled with ads which I have to watch (like right now, I'm getting Sixt ads about their rental offers), but I read the news for free.

I’m calling “tomorrow” but only because I’m absolutely desperate now. My poor 2018 is bleeding out.
Touch support for MacBooks is not coming. Gurman should know better.

Don’t forget the iMac. I thought moving to AS would mean more predictable timelines and product releases with the exception of any showstoppers. Maybe Apple should have waited on releasing the base M5 MBP late 2025.
Gurman just moves the goalpost as necessary for his paycheck. Calls
Himself an analyst but is more wrong than he his right. Pretty ridiculous

At this point AI can do a similar if not better job than most analyst. /s 😝
By "mediocre", you mean the low-end laptop market? 12GB of non-upgradeable RAM and only 256GB of "forever" storage is a questionable choice.
Without a doubt, it can do a better job than mark Gurman

Still sitting on 16" M1 Pro, it is just such a solid product. No issues at all, mechanically tight tolerances. Speed is lovely for everyday tasks and amateur photo editing. Same with recent iPhones. Apple has just made too damn good products for their own good. Kind of like the old Mercedes cars that have legendary reputation. It just works.
OLED would be good but not a game changer, not something I'd buy a new computer for specifically. Touch screen is a gimmick for me, never used it on Windows products. AI integration is a factor but honestly, I'd prefer to control what data is linked to me and thus I'm skeptical of built in AI solutions. I think I prefer 3rd party for anonymity.

I need this to come out so the Apple's 2 month greed buffer can pass before we get to the M5 Mac Studio.
