Apple's new MacBook Pros went on sale today, Friday, November 6 — a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the new M6 chip, plus Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pros, according to MacRumors. But the number that matters most today isn't the M6's price tag. It's yours.
A MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) currently pays $1,910 to $7,520 in Canada, and a 16-inch (M5) pays $2,510 to $7,610 — and as of this morning, those numbers are the highest they will ever be again. Your machine hasn't lost value overnight; it has started the slow step-down every generation takes once its replacement reaches shelves. The launch window is when a current model still sells like one.
Picture the Pro on your desk. Yesterday it was Apple's current MacBook Pro. Today it shares that title with an M6 machine and a touchscreen model — and every buyer from here on prices yours against them.
That doesn't make today a fire sale — it makes today the top of the hill. Here's what launched, what it does to your machine's value, and how to decide if this is your week.
What Apple actually put on sale today
According to MacRumors' November 6 report, these products became available today, with stock reaching Apple Stores and resellers. Prices below are US, as reported.
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 — from US$1,999, with a 12-core CPU and 12-core GPU, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 through Apple's N1 wireless chip.
- 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with touchscreen PROLED XDR displays — from US$2,899 and US$3,399. Apple's first touchscreen Macs: M5 Pro or M5 Max chips, a Dynamic Island replacing the notch, up to 2,000 nits. Many configurations are currently shipping in two to three weeks, per MacRumors.
- iPad mini with OLED display — the eighth-generation mini, with an 8.5-inch OLED screen and the A20 Pro chip, from US$699.
- iMac with M6 — from US$1,499, the first iMac update since the M4 model.
The detail everyone misses
The headline touchscreen Pros are not M6 machines — they run M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, the same silicon inside your Pro. If yours is an M5 Pro or Max, it isn't a generation behind. Sell while that's still easy to explain.
And notice the rollout: with many touchscreen configurations shipping in two to three weeks, the new generation arrives in waves — which is exactly what opens the selling window below.

Why launch week is your week
A launch day doesn't slash the previous generation's value overnight — it starts a clock. From today, every buyer comparison is against a newer machine: an M6 chip, or a touchscreen with a brighter display. The longer those models are on sale, the more yours reads as "last year's model," and prices follow.
A launch doesn't cut your MacBook's value overnight. It starts a clock — and the clock ticks loudest in the first few weeks.
Three practical effects decide what that clock means for you:
- Demand peaks early. Buyers who want a Pro without new-model prices are looking at exactly what you own — and that demand is strongest while new stock is still arriving in waves.
- Your chip is still current silicon. Because the touchscreen Pros run M5 Pro and M5 Max, an M5 sold today is a current-performance machine at a previous-model discount — the sweet spot buyers hunt for.
- Condition and configuration still set your number. A launch changes the backdrop, not the basics: storage, memory, chip tier and battery health decide where you land.
The honest takeaway: no panic — but if you were already planning to upgrade, or your Pro is the machine you rarely open, this window is the strongest time to act. A quote today locks your price for 7 days while you decide.
What yours is worth, model by model
These are JustSell's current payouts for the models today's launch touches most. Each range starts at a typical mid-spec configuration — the kind most sellers own — not the cheapest base model. Your exact figure takes 30 seconds in the quote tool, before any contact details.
MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5)
- Sealed: $1,810–$7,520 — still in the original sealed packaging, never opened or activated.
- Like New: $1,910–$4,290 — flawless, no marks or scratches, and battery health over 90%.
- Good: $1,720–$4,000 — light scratches from everyday use, no cracks, fully working.
- Fair: $1,490–$3,720 — heavier wear or cosmetic damage, but still fully working.
Each range starts at the M5 Pro with 24GB of memory and 512GB of storage — the mid-spec machine most Pro sellers own — quoted with its charger; without it, quotes sit $50 lower. The full configuration breakdown is on our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) page.
MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5)
- Sealed: $2,810–$7,610 — unopened and never activated.
- Like New: $2,510–$4,760 — flawless condition with strong battery health.
- Good: $2,110–$4,290 — light everyday wear, no cracks, everything working.
- Fair: $1,710–$3,810 — visible wear or cosmetic damage, still fully functional.
The 16-inch's ceiling is driven by its larger display and higher original configurations. Full details are on the MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5) page.
Own an M4 Pro instead? It's one generation further from today's launch, so timing matters even more. A MacBook Pro 14-inch (M4, 2024) currently pays $1,810 to $3,980 overall, with Like New machines at $1,810 to $3,620. Still strong money — and it only moves one direction from here.

The iPad mini quietly changed today, too
The same launch replaced the iPad mini: the new eighth-generation model adds an OLED display and the A20 Pro chip, according to MacRumors. If you own the current iPad mini (A17 Pro), a midrange 256GB Wi-Fi unit currently pays $410 to $660 at JustSell, with Like New units at $410 to $560 depending on storage and connectivity.
Same launch logic, miniature edition: the A17 Pro is worth the most while its replacement is still the new arrival. Check it on our sell your iPad page.
Money tip
Upgrading more than one device this launch? Quote them in the same sitting. Each price locks for 7 days, so your MacBook and mini ride the same handover week, not two separate errands.
Sell now or sit tight? Decide in 60 seconds
Sell now if you're upgrading to one of the new models anyway, your Pro is a second machine you rarely open, or your battery health is still strong — a machine over 90% prices at its best today, and waiting only spends that health down.
Waiting can make sense if your MacBook is your daily work machine and your replacement is one of the touchscreen configurations currently shipping in two to three weeks. In that case, get your quote once the new machine's delivery date is confirmed — your JustSell price is locked for 7 days, which covers the handover gap for most people.
The simple rule
New model already on its way? Sell now. Weeks away? Quote when the delivery date lands. Don't let a current-generation machine sit in a drawer through the launch window.
Before it leaves your hands
Four steps, ten minutes — a Mac still linked to your Apple Account can't be paid out until it's removed, so do these before the handover, not at it.
Time Machine or iCloud — make sure the copy is complete before anything gets erased.
This unlinks the machine from your Apple Account so the next owner can activate it — and your payout isn't held up.
Erase the Mac and reinstall macOS clean. JustSell verifies the wipe and documents it, but the reset starts with you.
Chip, memory and storage live in About This Mac. The wrong storage tier is the most common reason a seller is surprised by their number, and quotes without the charger land lower.

Frequently asked questions
Did Apple release a new MacBook Pro today?
Yes. According to MacRumors, Apple's new models became available on November 6, 2026: a 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M6 chip from US$1,999, and 14-inch and 16-inch touchscreen MacBook Pros with PROLED XDR displays from US$2,899 and US$3,399, running M5 Pro or M5 Max chips. An OLED iPad mini and an M6 iMac launched the same day.
Will the M6 launch lower my M5 MacBook Pro's value?
Not overnight — a MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) still pays $1,910 to $7,520 in Canada. But every new generation gradually steps the previous one's value down as the new models spread. Selling during the launch window, while you still own a current-generation machine, is when your Pro is worth the most.
How much is a MacBook Pro 16-inch (M5) worth?
It pays $2,510 to $7,610 overall at JustSell, depending on chip tier, storage, memory and condition. Like New machines pay $2,510 to $4,760, and sealed machines reach the top of the range.
Should I sell before or after I buy the new model?
If your replacement is in stock, sell whenever you are ready — your quote is locked for 7 days. If your new machine is one of the configurations shipping in two to three weeks, quote once its delivery date is confirmed so the 7-day lock covers your handover, and keep using your current Pro in the meantime.
What should I do before selling my MacBook Pro?
Back up your files, sign out of iCloud, turn off Find My Mac, and factory reset the machine. Bring the original charger if you have it — quotes without it are lower. Check your chip, memory and storage in About This Mac so your quote is based on your real configuration.
How long is my JustSell price locked?
Your price is locked for 7 days once you get your quote. That gives you time to back up, reset your MacBook, and choose a meetup, a free pickup or free shipping, without your payout changing.
Get your MacBook Pro price
Apple's new generation is on shelves, and your Pro is worth the most while it's still the current model. Get your exact number in about 30 seconds, lock it for 7 days, and get paid the same day you hand it over.
