Apple Targets 2026 Mac Studio Refresh with 768GB RAM and M5 Ultra

Bloomberg reports Apple plans a 2026 Mac Studio refresh with an M5 Ultra offering around 36 CPU cores and 80 GPU cores and support for up to 768GB of unified memory, though supply constraints could limit that option; the update—delayed by memory shortages and price hikes—could arrive around October 2026, and even the 768GB variant would likely be extremely expensive, potentially well over $10,000, following price increases that pushed the current 96GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio to $5,299 after a $1,300 rise.

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 at WWDC 2026, with the first developer beta on day one, a public beta in July, and a September-wide release.
