Mac Studio to Jump to M7 Ultra in 2028 With Enhanced Cooling

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple plans two Mac Studio refreshes: an M5 Ultra this year and a more substantial M7 Ultra in 2028, skipping the M6 entirely. The M7 Ultra is expected to feature a redesigned inner architecture and a better heat sink for improved thermals, while the M5 Ultra is not anticipated to have a major redesign. Memory options have been tested up to 768GB, though supply constraints could limit offerings, and launch timing for the M5 remains unclear after delays tied to memory chips and price increases.

Apple Skips M6 Pro/Max, Betting Big on M7 for Future Silicon

Bloomberg reports Apple will cancel the M6 Pro and M6 Max and move directly to the M7 family. The base M6 will be tested in the MacBook Pro with CPU/NPU improvements and about 200 GB/s memory bandwidth; the M6 Pro/Max variants won’t launch, and Pro/Max versions will appear with the M7 in 2027, followed by an M7 Ultra for Mac Studio in 2028. A high-end M5 Ultra for Mac Studio is also mentioned as a test configuration.

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.

WWDC 2026 Leaks Point to M5 Macs, Smart Home Gear, and a Siri Overhaul

WWDC 2026 is rumored to unveil nine new devices and major software updates across Apple platforms, centered on Apple Intelligence and a revamped Siri, with supply-chain constraints potentially limiting RAM/storage configurations. Expected hardware includes a new Apple TV with A17 Pro, updated HomePod line, an Apple Security Camera, a HomePod Pad, a refreshed Mac Mini with M5/M5 Pro (512GB base storage), a 24-inch iMac with M5, a 30-inch iMac Pro with M5 Max (50th-anniversary edition), and an updated Mac Studio with M5 Max/Ultra, while iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch updates aren’t planned for this event.

Memory Crunch Rewrites Apple's iPhone 18 and Mac Strategy

A global memory shortage is forcing Apple to trim configurations and rethink pricing across its lineup, removing RAM options for the Mac mini and Mac Studio and potentially downgrading the iPhone 18. Reports also flag a split iPhone 18 launch in spring 2027 to smooth demand amid higher memory costs, with broader production constraints affecting upcoming Macs like the MacBook Neo.

Mac Shortage Crunch: Desktops Lag While Neo Remains More Available

Ars Technica reports ongoing Mac shortages, with desktop models like the Mac mini and Mac Studio facing longer shipping times and multiple configurations discontinued, while the MacBook Neo is comparatively easier to obtain. Other Macs, including MacBook Air and MacBook Pro lines, show mostly normal availability, but RAM and storage options—especially 32GB configurations and higher-end storage—experience delays. The shortages are driven by supply-chain constraints, RAM/ storage limitations, and rising AI-related demand for local Mac hardware.

Apple trims RAM options on Mac Studio and Mac mini amid global memory crunch

Apple is trimming RAM configurations on Mac mini and Mac Studio due to a global memory shortage driven by AI server demand: Mac mini no longer offers 32GB/64GB RAM (and the 256GB SSD option has been removed, raising the base price), while the Mac Studio's M3 Ultra is limited to 96GB RAM with higher-tier options dropped; 9–10 week delivery estimates persist for affected models and Tim Cook says supply-demand balance could take months.

OpenClaw Sparks AI Hardware Frenzy, Pushing Macs Beyond Supply

OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent framework now backed by OpenAI, has made Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Studio the go-to hardware for running large local AI models, leveraging Apple Silicon’s unified memory up to 192GB. This has driven demand far beyond expectations, causing shortages, long wait times, and even scalper pricing, as developers run 70–100B-parameter models locally without cloud GPUs.

Mac mini and Mac Studio Face Months-Long Shortage Fueled by AI Demand

Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Studio remain hard to buy, with Tim Cook saying it may take several months to rebalance supply and demand as chip shortages and surging AI-related demand bite; constraints stem from limited advanced manufacturing capacity, and Apple is preparing M5-series chips later this year while MacBook Neo demand stays strong, alongside solid Q2 results despite the shortages.

Apple readies M5 Ultra Mac Studio and M5 Pro Mini for WWDC 2026

Leaks suggest Apple will unveil the M5 Ultra Mac Studio and M5 Pro Mac Mini at WWDC 2026, featuring MLX AI accelerators, PCIe 5.0 storage, and up to 512GB unified memory. The Ultra model reportedly ships with an 80-core GPU, while the M5 Pro Mini offers up to an 18-core CPU and up to 20 GPU cores (about 23% faster). The lineup also includes faster RAM and PCIe 5.0 SSDs (14,000–16,000 MB/s), base storage bumps (512GB on the Mac Mini) and modest price increases as Apple phases out older models, with a potential June launch.

Touchscreen MacBook Pro and Mac Studio Delayed into 2027 Amid Chip Shortage

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says a touchscreen MacBook Pro is still in the works but due to a global memory chip shortage it’s now expected to ship in early 2027 (late 2026 was the previous window), while a Mac Studio refresh is anticipated around October 2026 with M5-series chips. The high-end laptops would feature touch support, OLED, Dynamic Island, and a thinner design (potentially under a MacBook Ultra branding) with macOS 27 offering a touch-friendly interface; no major redesign is planned for Mac Studio. Overall, launches are pushed back to 2027 for the MacBook Pro and to October 2026 for the Mac Studio.
