alt Hacker NewsI thought that new models were typically released in October. Have I misremembered or is this an unusual timing vs previous years? If so, I wonder why the earlier release?

You remember well, they didn’t update these last fall.
And another rumor said these are going to be updated again this fall but I’m not sure about that. With OLED screens and M6 (supposedly).

Increasing component prices perhaps? Get some sales in before you have to jack up the sale price.

Maybe they want people to have more money available for the new phones later this year, since that market is in decline.

M6 is rumored to be released in Q4.
They didn't update them last October is why.
I think at this point Apple will just release new versions of laptops whenever new CPU revisions and yields allow. M5 Pro wasn't ready for October so delayed until now.
