Hartley Charlton, macrumors.com: ‘Apple Planning ‘MacBook Ultra’ With Touchscreen and Higher Price’

Instead of succeeding the newly announced M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pros, the “MacBook Ultra” will be a new, top-tier Apple laptop. Gurman added that the device is likely to sit above the current M5 MacBook Pros, rather than replace them, suggesting that they will remain on sale.

I’d been skeptical that Apple would replace the M5 MacBook Pros with M6 versions later this same year. But if it’s a new, even more premium entry in the lineup, I think that timeline makes more sense.
