  If you read the report from yesterday about Apple skipping the M6 Pro and Max in order to accelerate the release of the M7 chip generation, you might be wondering what that means for the upcoming Mac lineup, particularly the touchscreen MacBook Ultra that was supposed to launch with an M6 chip within the next few months.Those MacBooks are still on the way, reports Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. They will feature Apple’s M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, instead of the M6 or the allegeedly

  We’re still recovering from the price hikes Apple announced on Thursday. One way to avoid the new prices is to shop at Amazon during its Prime Day sales event, but if you’ve yet to act, you may have missed out. For example, Amazon U.S. no longer has the MacBook Neo without Touch ID in stock, which it was selling for $590. And after the Prime Day sale officially ends today, we don’t know what prices are going to look like.Where else can you turn? There’s Apple&rsq

  After warning customers that its prices had to be increased, Apple did so on Thursday. The act of increasing prices wasn’t surprising (everything is more expensive nowadays), but the amounts of the increases were. The MacBook Neo is now $100 more, while Apple’s highest-end Mac, the M3 Ultra Mac Studio, shot up an eye-bleeding $1,300, a 33 percent increase.After a few months of celebrating the idea that the entry point to the Mac is more affordable than ever, the party was ab

According to a new report from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, that’s about to change, and it’s all about getting more powerful products to market sooner.Here’s how it works now. First, Apple launches a standard low-end M chip (M4, or M5, for example) that is found in high-volume products such as MacBook Air, Mac mini, and the entry-level MacBook Pro.

• Apple customers won’t blink at RAMageddon price increases – but Dell, Lenovo, and Samsung’s will

  In the midst of the 2026 memory crisis dubbed #RAMageddon, DRAM and NAND prices have surged 80-95% quarter-over-quarter in early 2026, with projections of even steeper increases throughout the year. AI demand has redirected fab capacity, squeezing supply for consumer devices. PC and smartphone makers face a stark choice: absorb massive cost hikes that crush margins, cut specs (goodbye to generous RAM configs in budget models), or pass the pain on to buyers.
