MacBook Pro With Touch Screen and New Mac Studio Likely 'Postponed'
MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- The global memory chip shortage is causing delays in the launch of new Apple products, potentially pushing the release of the next MacBook Pro models to early 2027 instead of late 2026.
- New MacBook Pro models, expected to feature touch screens, M6 Pro and M6 Max chips, OLED displays, Dynamic Island, and a thinner design, may be branded as MacBook Ultra and will run macOS 27 with a touch-friendly interface.
- The Mac Studio refresh, originally anticipated around WWDC 2026, is now expected to ship around October 2024, featuring updated M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips but no major design changes.
- The current Mac Studio uses mismatched M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips due to Apple not releasing an M4 Ultra chip, which the new models aim to address with the M5 series processors.
