GoKawiilApple has a new MacBook Ultra rumored to launch this fall as part of its expanding ‘Ultra’ lineup. Here are six new features expected with the MacBook Ultra.
#1: New design that’s thinner, lighter than MacBook Pro
Bloomberg says Apple’s new MacBook model is a “total redesign” that’s thinner and lighter than the current MacBook Pro.

We don’t know if ports will be reduced compared to MacBook Pro, but that’s very possible. I’d be surprised if Apple pushed the ‘thin, light’ angle too far though, as MacBook Ultra will likely attract a lot of Pro users.
#2: M6 chip family
A new family of M6 chips is coming later this year, and it looks like MacBook Ultra could be the first model to feature them.
We’re expecting larger-than-usual updates with the M6 generation, as it’s being built on a new 2nm process with other advancements also coming to the iPhone’s A20 Pro chip.
At a minimum, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips will likely be available in MacBook Ultra. But it’s possible the standard M6 chip will be an option too.
