A day later Apple announced a separate MacBook Pro with a PROLED XDR display using M5 Pro and M5 Max. So the M6 model is the entry 14-inch Pro, not the top one. See MacBook Pro PROLED XDR.

How we researched this
This is a research-based review, not a hands-on test. We did not have these phones in hand. We compared the official specification pages from Apple, Google and Samsung with launch coverage and published reviews from established outlets, and we list every source below. Where sources disagree we say so. Battery and camera claims are the makers' own figures unless we name an independent reviewer. Prices are US launch prices from the official pages and can differ at carriers and retailers.
