Wccftech • • business
Key Points:
- Apple has increased the price of its 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro's maximum configuration, raising it by $950 to $10,149, following an earlier price hike due to rising RAM and storage costs.
- The top-end model features an 18-core CPU, 40-core GPU, nano-texture display, 8TB SSD, and 128GB of unified RAM, making it one of the most expensive MacBook Pro configurations ever.
- Some customers who purchased the maxed-out configuration before the latest price increase saved up to $3,000, while others now face significantly higher costs comparable to a used car.
- Price variations spotted by observers and Reddit users suggest that Apple may be applying supplemental regional price adjustments in some U.S. areas, contributing to inconsistent pricing reports.
- Despite consumer dissatisfaction, these price hikes are expected to remain, reflecting Apple's efforts to manage increased component costs.
