@thom.code: Part 6 ~ Every Apple Chip Explained (M1→M6) Pick the wrong Mac and you’ll pay hundreds for power you’ll never use — or get stuck with too little memory you can never upgrade. Here’s every Apple chip, M1 to M6, explained simply. We walk through all six generations of Apple silicon in plain English, plus the base, Pro, Max, and Ultra versions, so you buy the right Mac. You’ll meet M1 the pioneer (the fanless, all-day-battery chip that ditched Intel), M2 the safe step, and M3 the controversial one — the chip that brought ray tracing to Mac but launched with just 8GB and a “Pro” that was barely an upgrade. Then M4 the comeback that finally made 16GB standard, M5 the AI chip with Neural Accelerators in every GPU core, and M6, Apple’s first 2-nanometer chip. The three rules that actually decide your purchase: the version matters more than the generation for heavy work, memory is built into the chip so you can’t upgrade it later (16GB minimum), and you don’t always need the newest one. Plus the surprise — why the cheapest Mac today doesn’t use an M chip at all. 🔔 Subscribe for more tech explained in plain English — new videos every week. 💬 Got a topic you want explained next?
