Price rises certain as iPhone 18 Pro Max component costs soar
If a new estimate is correct, and we suspect it is, then Apple is paying dramatically more to produce each iPhone 18 Pro Max compared to its predecessor, and that will mean price rises of $200 or more.The current iPhone 17 Pro MaxApple left all iPhone models untouched in its recent and unprecedented price rise, but it was already likely that the forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro range would be affected. Now according to estimates from Counterpoint Research, the bill of materials (BOM) that Apple will pay for the iPhone 18 Pro Max is $300 more than for the current model.Component costs are always increasing, which is why the iPhone 15 Pro Max cost 12% more than its predecessor, and the iPhone 16 models also had a slight rise. But because of the global chip shortage, Apple is having to pay significantly more for certain components. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Best MacBook Pro deals: Best prices for M5, M5 Pro & M5 Max
Macworld The best MacBook Pro deals of July 2026 Best U.S. deal: $50 off MacBook Pro, 16-inch, M5 Max, 2TB at Amazon Best U.K. deal: £294 off MacBook Pro, 16-inch, M5 Pro, 1TB at Amazon Apple raised MacBook Pro prices in June 2026, making genuine discounts harder to find than ever. That’s where we come in. At Macworld, we track MacBook Pro prices, comparing retailer prices with Apple’s current prices, previous Apple pricing, and the lowest prices we’ve seen, so we can identify the deals that are genuinely worth buying right now. Apple rarely discounts the MacBook Pro itself, aside from education pricing and its Certified Refurbished Store. However, retailers in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere regularly offer savings, particularly during major shopping events such as Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. Good deals can also be found throughout the rest of the year. Whether you’re looking for an M5, M5 Pro, or M5 Max MacBook Pro, our frequently updated deals tracker compares prices from leading retailers to highlight the best offers available right now. We also keep an eye on stock levels and price changes, helping you spot genuine bargains before they disappear. Alongside the latest deals, you’ll find buying advice to help you choose the right MacBook Pro, understand the differences between current and older models, and decide whether today’s discounts represent good value or if you’re better off waiting.

Because we monitor MacBook Pro prices year-round, we know exactly what resellers have charged in the past, so we can quickly spot a genuinely great discount versus an average one. Our international team aims to review every MacBook Apple sells and use these machines daily, so we understand which models offer the strongest value for money and can guide you toward the smartest purchase. You can trust our deals recommendations because: We check leading U.S. and U.K. retailers throughout the year to stay on top of the best available prices. We also check the Apple Refurbished store to see if prices are better. We use price-tracking tools to monitor discounts in real time and identify which store truly has the lowest price. Our editors hand-select deals based on long-term pricing trends and insights from our own in-depth product reviews. We take Apple’s release cycles into account, helping you avoid buying right before a major update. We highlight upcoming shopping events or special promotions that might see prices lowered further. We compare like with like: so if the newest model offers more storage, or more RAM, we make this clear. We update the prices in this article regularly, but it’s still worth checking multiple retailers in the comparison tables below because MacBook Pro prices shift frequently. If you’re targeting a specific model, look in the price comparison boxes below to secure the best possible deal. If you would also consider a MacBook Air then take a look at our round up of the best MacBook Air deals. We also have a guide to the best Apple deals right now on all Apple products, including iMac, Mac mini, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. MacBook Pro pricing Configuring your ideal Mac is different now. Foundry In June 2026, Apple inflated prices for Macs and iPads due to the global shortage of RAM driven by explosive demand for AI infrastructure. Some of the biggest price increases are for the MacBook Pro, up to $500 more in some cases. Apple said it has “never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly”. This forced Apple to raise prices across its Mac and iPad lineups. Comparing prices from before and after the price hikes is complicated by they way Apple’s online store showcases prices. At the beginning of February 2026, Apple completely changed the way the online Apple Store works. Previously, the Apple Store presented a clear selection of configurations and buying options, allowing shoppers to choose the model that best suited their needs and budget. Now, shoppers begin with a base configuration and add options – such as more RAM or additional storage – until they reach the specification they want. With this new approach, it is less obvious up front how much an ideal configuration will cost, which we think is a disadvantage for buyers. Apple, however, is likely hoping that this method will encourage customers to choose higher-end configurations. Another consequence of this change to how you buy a Mac is that it has become more difficult to compare pricing between generations. With the arrival of the M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro, prices and configurations have changed significantly. At first glance it may appear that prices have increased, but in some cases you now get more for your money because the new models don’t just include a new chip – they also double the storage. In other cases, prices are higher because the lower-capacity models have been removed from the lineup. MacBook Pro, M5: This model has been on sale since October and previously started at $1,599. Then, in March 2026 Apple removed the 512GB model from the lineup, and changed the price of the entry-level configuration to $1,699. That base model now includes 1TB of storage instead of 512GB. Previously, the 1TB model cost $1,799, so the effective price had actually dropped by $100. The good news didn’t last though: in June Apple increased the $1,699 price by $300 to $1,999. 14-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Pro: The base 14-inch M5 Pro MacBook was $2,199 prior to the June price hikes. Now that model costs $2,499. 14-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Max: Is now priced at a whopping $4,099. Previously it was $3,599. The previous generation laptop that model replaced was the M4 Max MacBook Pro, which started at $3,199, but had half the amount of storage. It does mean that the cost of the M5 Max is now almost $1000 more than it was in the previous generation. 16-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Pro: Now starts at $2,999, up $300 from the previous price of $2,699 with an M5 Pro processor and 2TB of storage. When this model was introduced Apple dropped the 1TB option, so the entry price to own a 16-inch model was already higher than it was. 16-inch MacBook Pro, M5 Max: Alternatively you can spend $4,399 (up from $3,899 before the price hikes) to get an M5 Max chip and 2TB of storage. Again, this was even more expensive than the previous generation, because you’re forced into higher storage tiers. New vs old MacBook Pricing: At a glance We recommend that you compare any deals on older MacBook Pro models with the equivalent model available now, to make sure you are getting a better deal.

The M5 Pro and M5 Pro Max versions of the MacBook Pro launched in March 2026 so now is a great time to buy one.Foundry Prices are unlikely to come down significantly until Prime Day in October or Black Friday in November. If you can’t wait until then, now is a good time to buy a new MacBook Pro if you’re looking for the latest model. The MacBook Pro comes with the newest M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips, and Apple has also increased storage compared to the previous generation. Resellers may offer discounts on older models. Note that the older machines don’t just lack the new chip – they also come with half the storage. Any discounts should take this into account; if they don’t, those deals are best avoided. In some cases though, it may still be worth grabbing a deal on a lower-storage M4 Pro or M4 Max model. This is because, while the new generation offers more storage, it also comes at a significantly higher price. If your budget doesn’t stretch that far, the previous generation may be your best option. We also recommend shopping at Apple Certified Refurbished Store where you can find discounts based on the old, pre-hike prices. We expect that this stock will be sold quickly though, so act fast! Which MacBook Pro to buy The choice of which MacBook depends a lot on how much you have to spend.Foundry When deciding on a MacBook Pro, it’s important to understand the performance hierarchy. The M5 Pro and M5 Max models are for a completely different user than the standard M5 MacBook Pro. The M5 Pro offers more CPU and GPU cores than the M5, supports more memory, and includes more advanced ports like Thunderbolt 5. The M5 Max has the same number of CPU cores but more GPU cores and greater support for RAM. 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 chip: This is the entry-level model, launched in October 2025 with a slight change to the line up in March 2026. It delivers significant performance gains compared, particularly in graphics and SSD speeds, over the previous M4 generation. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 chip is designed for users who need more sustained performance than a MacBook Air can offer but don’t require the top-tier power of the M5 Pro or M5Max models. It strikes a balance of price, performance, and premium features, making it the best MacBook for those who need a little more power than the M5 MacBook Air offers. 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips: For the most demanding professional work, the M5 Pro and M5Max models, released in March 2026, provide superior power, offer more ports (including Thunderbolt 5), and are aimed at professionals with demanding workflows. These MacBooks are ideal for creative professionals (such as high-end video creators, digital artists, illustrators, photographers, 3D animators); technical professionals (programmers, designers, and software developers) and power users who needs more “oomph” for movie editing or gaming. There is another element to the decision. Both the M5 Pro and M5 Max are available in both 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, which offer similar specifications but differ in screen size and battery life. To determine which would suite you best consider the following: The 14-inch M4 Pro/Max is best for those who value portability, work frequently on the road, or primarily use an external monitor at their desk. It offers up to 22 hours of battery life. The 16-inch M4 Pro/Max is the choice for users who need a large, powerful screen on the go and the best possible battery life, which is rated at up to 24 hours. These Macs now come with 2TB storage as standard, with a price to match, which may mean they are now our of reach of some budgets.

The iPhone 18 Pro probably won’t be as thick as the latest rumors say
Macworld As we get closer to Apple’s September event, rumors about the next-generation iPhone are intensifying. This week, several Chinese leakers claimed that the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be significantly thicker than the current models—possibly as much as 20 percent. Although rumors quickly fueled speculation about a much larger battery and a redesigned camera system, most of the previous evidence, including CADs and leaked dummy units, points to a much less dramatic change in the thickness of the iPhone 18 Pro models. The evidence doesn’t point to a much thicker iPhone 18 Pro When Macworld first reported on the iPhone 18 Pro design months ago, the CAD files consistently showed the same overall chassis thickness as the current generation, at 8.75 mm. That detail has remained consistent across subsequent leaks, including physical dummy units that have surfaced over the past few months. While those models do show a larger camera bump and slightly taller lenses, the main body itself appears unchanged. That’s also what we’ve heard from sources connected to Apple’s supply chain. In other words, we can expect the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max to have a thicker camera plateau, but not necessarily thicker phone bodies.  That’s an important distinction because many leaks tend to blur the line between overall device thickness and the size of the camera module. Looking at renders or dummy units from certain angles can easily give the impression that the entire phone has grown when, in reality, it’s only the camera housing protruding further from the back. The camera bump might be larger, but we don’t expect the iPhone 18 Pro to be much thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro.Foundry For example, well-known leaker Ice Universe recently reported that the iPhone 18 Pro will be 9 mm thick. However, the same leaker reported in March that the new phones would be 8.8 mm thick instead. Of course, Apple’s plans do change, but it’s always important to take these rumors with a grain of salt and a little research. Often these rumors get reposted and spread with little regard for the original source in an effort to jump on the latest trending topic. A separate Weibo leak by Fixed Focus Digital suggested the phone could be as much as 2mm thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple’s hardware designs can continue evolving until relatively late in development, and it’s always possible that newer prototypes differ from the ones reflected in earlier CAD files. Supply chain leaks also don’t always tell the complete story, especially when they originate from different stages of production. Even so, multiple other sources, including our own, still suggest that the new phones will be about the same thickness as the current models. We’ll know for sure in just a couple of months, but until then, I’d treat the latest “much thicker iPhone” rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Skip the iPhone Ultra. Something better is coming
Macworld You should never be first in line to buy a completely new Apple product. Not in the literal sense–although those guys are totally putting themselves out for no good reason–but in the generational one. It’s nearly always smarter to wait a year or two. Owning an original iPhone was fun from a bragging point of view, and I fondly remember the unaccustomed attention I received while carrying it about on holiday. As a medium-term value proposition, however, it was objectively a bad idea: a bold and pioneering starting point that would nevertheless be vastly improved within a few years of launch by the addition of 3G and GPS (iPhone 3G), a better camera and general performance (iPhone 3GS), FaceTime and a far sharper screen (iPhone 4), and numerous other hardware and software upgrades along the way. All without a significant increase in price. The same goes for the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air—you get the idea. Veterans of the 2007 iPhone launch may have noted some similarities when the iPhone Air came out last year. There was much the same sense of awe, the idea that nothing would be the same again: normal-sized phones, reviewers speculated, might be ruined forever for anyone who’s held an Air and marvelled at its miraculous slenderness. There were, admittedly, rather more complaints about its hardware limitations (namely the battery and camera performance), but canny observers will have recognised that, like its celebrated forebear, the iPhone Air was likely to find numerous ways to improve in subsequent generations. The general consensus is that Apple won’t release a new Air this fall. September will see the launch of two premium iPhones (the 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max) and one super-premium model in the form of the foldable iPhone Ultra. Bearing in mind Apple’s recent price rises in the iPad and Mac ranges, these are likely to be seriously expensive devices. Expect the iPhone Ultra to be dazzling, but flawed.Foundry So while the Air 2 will be the premium model of its own mini generation in spring 2027, doubtlessly costing more than the iPhone 18 and considerably more than the 18e, it’s likely to seem affordable by comparison with the late-2026 phones: it currently starts at $200 less than the cheapest Pro, and that gap may widen when the price rises kick in. At the same time, it will seem far more appealing than those normal-sized phones it will launch with, thanks to its futuristic design and what increasingly looks to be a classic set of 2nd-gen fixes. If you found the Air’s camera performance suboptimal, you’re in luck: almost all pundits agree that the Air 2 will get a second camera lens on the rear, a 48MP ultrawide. If you complained about its battery life, you’ll be pleased to hear that its capacity is now expected to increase by 11 percent. Apple has recognised the two biggest problems with the original product and addressed them both, setting up the Air 2 as the company’s best follow-up since the Apple Watch Series 2 solved its predecessor’s GPS, water resistance, speed, and battery life shortcomings in a single generational leap. Where does this leave the iPhone Ultra? In precisely the same 1st-gen limbo the Air experienced in 2025. On the one hand, Apple has no experience of making and launching a foldable phone; on the other, it knows that celebs, tech braggarts and early adopters will buy its first attempt at the category regardless. Chuck in the necessity of selling an upgraded version the following year, and you’ve got the perfect formula for a flawed proof of concept. It’s far too early to say whether the Ultra will be a good phone or not–it might very well be a commercially adored smash hit–but we can say with some certainty that the worst Ultra to buy will be the first. The big seller of the generation, of course, is likely to be either the iPhone 18 or the 18e, for obvious cost-of-living reasons. But I think the humble Air 2, undercut by the cheaper models, overshadowed by the Ultra, dogged by the mixed reception accorded to its predecessor, could be the underrated star of the iPhone 18 generation. Read those Air 1 reviews again. This, most agree, is the form factor of the future; it just wasn’t ready in 2025. At that point in its development, the Air was too flawed for the mainstream. By the look of things, that isn’t going to be the case in 2027.

Whether you’re buying a gift or treating yourself, you’ll find the lowest prices currently available from Amazon, Best Buy and other leading retailers in the U.S. and U.K. You can trust our recommendations. At Macworld, we’ve been covering Apple for more than 40 years. We’ve reviewed every major generation of Apple products, use Apple devices every day, and buy them with our own money. That gives us firsthand insight into which Apple products are worth buying and what constitutes a genuinely good deal. We also assess whether a discount on an older model still represents good value compared with paying more for the latest version. For each product, we show the best deals available right now alongside Apple’s current price and, where relevant, the lowest price we’ve previously seen. We’ve also linked to our dedicated deals round-ups for each product category, and you can use the table of contents above to jump straight to the Apple device you’re interested in. Apple increased the prices of Macs and iPads in June 2026, making many discounts appear larger than before. To help you judge the real saving, we’ve also included the previous Apple retail price where relevant, so you can see whether you’re genuinely getting a good deal. Why are Apple prices so high? In June 2026, Apple inflated prices for Macs and iPads due to the global shortage of RAM driven by explosive demand for AI infrastructure. Apple said it has “never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly”. This has forced Apple to raise prices across its Mac and iPad lineups, with some models seeing increases of over 30%. Apple’s pricing is also tied to its brand identity as a premium company. High prices are part of the “aspirational” image the company cultivates. This means that even after the RAM shortage ends, prices are unlikely to return to previous levels. Does Apple have sales? Apple rarely discounts its own products. Even during its annual Black Friday shopping event, which runs from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, Apple typically offers gift cards with eligible purchases instead of cutting prices. That doesn’t mean you have to pay full price. Third-party retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy and other Apple resellers regularly discount Apple products throughout the year. Some of the best savings on an Apple products come during Amazon’s Prime Day events. We saw substantial discounts during Prime Day in June 2026, and another Amazon Prime Day sale sale is expected in October, when we anticipate more deals on Macs, iPads, AirPods and other Apple devices. Apple also offers year-round education discounts to students, teachers and education staff. During its annual Back To School promotion – usually running for around three months from June or July in many countries (and from January in Australia, New Zealand and other Southern Hemisphere markets) – eligible higher education students can receive a free pair of AirPods or an Apple Pencil with selected Mac and iPad purchases. Finally, don’t overlook the Apple Certified Refurbished Store, where you can buy refurbished Macs, iPads, iPhones and other Apple products at a discount. These devices are thoroughly tested, include a new battery and outer casing where applicable, and come with the same one-year warranty as new Apple products. Right now, the Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store is the best place to avoid the Apple price hikes as Apple sells products at the old, pre-hike prices – meaning you can effectively sidestep the recent price increases entirely.

When are the best Apple deals? Apple deals are generally best during major retail events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, or specifically for students during Apple’s annual “Back to School” promotion . While Apple itself rarely offers direct price cuts on new hardware, third-party resellers frequently discount products throughout the year. The optimal time to buy depends heavily on the product’s release cycle and the specific retailer, though: iPhones: The best time to buy is often in the spring or summer, several months after the September launch, when third-party resellers begin offering deeper discounts . Conversely, the worst time is August, just before new models arrive and trigger price drops on older generations. Macs and iPads: These see significant discounts during Black Friday (late November) and Amazon Prime Day (typically July and October). For students, the Back to School event (running June–September in the U.S. and July–October in the U.K.) is ideal, as Apple often bundles free accessories like AirPods or Apple Pencils with purchases. Apple Watch: Major savings are typically found during Black Friday and Prime Day events. 2. Are Apple refurbished deals worth it? Apple refurbished deals are widely considered worth it, particularly when purchasing directly from the official Apple Refurbished Store, where products are restored to a “like-new” condition. While third-party resellers often provide steeper discounts, Apple’s own process is uniquely rigorous, offering a balance of significant savings and the same protections as a brand-new purchase. Buying directly from Apple is often described as “almost indistinguishable” from buying new. According to our guide How much can you save at Apple’s Refurbished Store?, the company puts every device through a “stringent refurbishment process” that includes full functional testing, thorough cleaning, and inspection. Key benefits of the official Apple Refurbished Store include: Hardware Replacements: Refurbished iPads and iPhones receive a brand-new battery and outer shell . Warranty and Support: All products come with a standard one-year limited warranty, 90 days of technical support, and are eligible for AppleCare . Full Accessories: Devices are repackaged in a plain white box with all original manuals and cables . Savings: You can typically save around 15% off the retail price for recent models, with much higher discounts on older generations. Avoid the Apple price hikes: Apple’s Certified Refurbished Store sells products at the old, pre-hike prices – meaning you can effectively sidestep the recent price increases entirely. 3. Is it better to buy Apple products from Amazon or Apple? Deciding whether to buy Apple products from Amazon or directly from Apple depends on whether you prioritize immediate cost savings or the specific perks and guarantees offered by the manufacturer. While Amazon often provides deeper discounts, Apple offers unique benefits like trade-in credits, education pricing, and the assurance of receiving the latest models. 4. Does Apple ever discount products directly? Apple rarely provides direct price reductions on its new products, preferring to maintain steady Old MSRP pricing throughout a product’s lifecycle. Instead of traditional discounts, the company typically utilizes alternative methods to provide value directly to consumers, such as gift card incentives during major shopping events, education pricing, and a dedicated refurbished store. While you will not often see a lower price tag on a new iPhone or Mac at the Apple Store, the company does offer several ways to save: Apple Shopping Events: During events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Apple typically offers gift cards rather than price cuts. For example, in the 2025 holiday season, Apple provided gift cards ranging from $25 to $250 for eligible purchases. Education Store: Students, teachers, and higher education staff can access year-round discounts on Macs and iPads . During the annual “Back to School” event, Apple often includes a “freebie” like AirPods or an Apple Pencil with qualifying purchases. Apple Refurbished Store: This is the primary way to get a direct price reduction from Apple. Products are fully reconditioned, come with a one-year warranty, and can be discounted by hundreds of dollars or pounds. Trade-In Program: Apple allows customers to trade in old devices to receive credit toward a new purchase, effectively lowering the out-of-pocket cost.

10 clever uses for your iPhone’s USB-C port
Macworld It took the iPhone an eternity to strike Lightning in favor of the universal USB-C port. Now that it’s here on all models, including the low-end 16e, many users still limit its use to charging, overlooking the slew of other advantages it offers over Lightning. If you’ve got an iPhone 15 or newer, you can expand the USB-C port’s functionality beyond fast charging, and we’ve got a few ideas to share. 1. Charge another device Rival companies, like Samsung, have long supported reverse wireless charging, letting users turn their smartphones into portable Qi pads. However, it’s not all that practical, forcing users to flip over their phones and rendering both unusable. With the iPhone 15 and newer models, Apple introduced its own version that works via the USB-C port. Your iPhone can now deliver up to 4.5W of power, letting you charge your AirPods, Apple Watch, or even a friend’s Android phone. To do so, simply plug your USB-C cable into the iPhone and the other end into the USB-C port on the other device.

Memory prices are bad news for Android brands but may actually help Apple
Apple recently increased the prices of most of its products, from the Apple TV and HomePods through iPads and Macs to the Vision Pro. iPhones have so far escaped the increases, but that will likely change in September. You’d think that would be bad news for the company, reducing demand – but ironically, increasing memory costs might actually end up boosting iPhone sales …

Apple hiked Mac prices at exactly the wrong time
Macworld Apple is a premium company, and that means its prices are tied strongly to its own self-image. High prices make products “aspirational,” or so the crack marketing team would have you believe, and that’s something Apple has built its brand around. When the company announced massive price hikes across the board, I was more worried than you might think. For a company that trades in premium optics and where prices rarely go down (if ever), the unstated implication was that these increased costs were here to stay for the foreseeable future. But there’s another concerning aspect to this fiscal fiasco, and that’s the timing. With several price-sensitive products either just out the door or looming on the horizon, Apple can ill afford to jack up prices in this way. Doing so risks compromising their whole raison d’être and making them a much tougher sell for consumers who are already pinching pennies. Given the astonishing constraints on component supply, Apple was under tremendous pressure to revise its prices upwards, and it’s far from the only company doing so right now. But its move could end up condemning its latest products before they’ve even had a chance to shine–that’s a massive gamble for the Cupertino-based company. MacBook Neo’s momentum killed I’ve argued before that the Apple Tax is a myth; when you compare rival products so that they’re actually feature-comparable, Apple products stand up remarkably well. There’s a difference between expensive and overpriced, and while Apple devices are often the former, they are rarely the latter. The MacBook Neo was a key demonstrator of this idea. When its regular starting price was $599, it represented phenomenal value for money. Try to configure a Windows laptop with the same budget, and you’d get a hopelessly inferior device. At the time the MacBook Neo was released, I started to wonder if this heralded a new era for Apple, one where it was less averse to competing at the entry-level end of the market. Coupled with the Mac mini, the iPhone 16e and the Apple Watch SE, you could find budget options right across Apple’s lineup. But in one fell swoop, Apple’s price rises have undone all of that progress and halted the MacBook Neo’s momentum a mere three months after it got underway. The $100 price hike effectively muted all the talk that was about the MacBook Neo.Foundry The MacBook Neo’s $100 jump is an increase of 17 percent, so it’s far from the hardest hit Apple product, both in terms of percentage points and raw cash. But it might be the worst affected when you consider that its entire purpose was to compete at a budget price point, convert Windows and Chromebook users, and dispel the idea that Apple only knows how to do premium. Now, the MacBook Neo has lost a significant edge against the competition and made it a lot easier for mediocre Windows laptops to justify themselves to potential customers. The fact that this has happened so soon after the Neo’s debut just makes the pill even more bitter All that hope and optimism has been dashed before it ever got a chance to settle in. Far from the “new normal,” the MacBook Neo’s $599 pricing just feels like a freak blip, a strange dream that drifts away in the mournful morning haze. Dead on arrival If the MacBook Neo is getting screwed over at one end of the spectrum, then there’s equally unpalatable news for flagship Macs. I’m thinking in particular of the upcoming MacBook Ultra. The MacBook Pro is about to undergo a drastic hardware change–and they’ll also be more expensive.Foundry As the name implies, this device is intended to sit right at the top end of Apple’s laptop roster, and it’ll come with a spec sheet to match. Expect an OLED display, touchscreen capabilities, a slimline design, ultra-powerful chips, and more. It’s a statement Mac for those times when the MacBook Pro just doesn’t cut it. Unfortunately, it’s also going to be a major casualty of Apple’s price rises. While low-end Macs like the MacBook Neo were robbed of their competitive edge, pricier Macs were affected just as badly. Indeed, the Mac Studio was handed the largest increase, both in terms of its dollar price and the percentage increase, in the entire Mac collection. The M3 Ultra model was the single worst-hit Mac model available, with its starting price rising a shocking $1,300 from $3,999 to $5,299. That translates to a jump of 33 percent. The M4 Max model, meanwhile, saw the second-highest jump in terms of cash, up $500 from $1,999 to $2,499. That’s a step up of 25 percent. A fully kitted-out 16-inch MacBook Pro, meanwhile, will now set you back over $10,000 ($10,149 to be precise, not including software or a power adapter). To my knowledge, that’s the first time a MacBook Pro has ever crossed the $10,000 threshold. The supply shortages that are at the root of the price hikes also restrict the memory configurations available for the Mac Studio.Thomas Bergbold In other words, top-of-the-range customers are being absolutely gouged by these price increases, and if you think the MacBook Ultra is going to somehow escape the slaughter, you’re kidding yourself. Apple’s rivals have been selling touchscreen laptops for years, and this kind of functionality sits at the top of many Mac users’ wishlists. But how is Apple going to carve out a meaningful niche among touchscreen laptops when the only Mac it sells with this feature requires remortgaging your home in order to afford it? There’s now a real risk that this device is doomed before it’s even been announced, just like the iPhone Ultra, it could end up being dead on arrival. The new Siri When Apple finally lifted the lid on the much-delayed Siri AI overhaul at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, it earned some positive press for its decision to make macOS 27 (the minimum requirement for Siri AI) available on a huge selection of Macs. You can run it on anything back to an M1 Mac from 2020, which is great news for price-conscious buyers. Older M-series Macs are not able to support Siri AI features such as expressive voices and more advanced dictation.Foundry The bad news is that this doesn’t quite apply to every Siri AI feature. At WWDC, Apple’s Craig Federighi explained that “Our most powerful on-device model, and the features it enables–like expressive voices and more advanced dictation–will be coming to our most capable iPhone, iPad and Mac systems.” For the Mac, that means you need an M3 chip or later with 12GB of memory of higher. And maybe it’s just me, but Federighi’s phrasing strikes me as leaving the door open for other Siri AI features to be similarly device-locked in the future. As Apple expands the capabilities of its most powerful AI model, so the list of features it gatekeeps will surely continue to grow. Now that a big selection of the products needed to access these demanding features is more expensive, Apple seems to have inadvertently locked some of Siri’s best elements behind a paywall that just got significantly higher. And we’re not just talking about Macs, of course. Siri is available on a whole assortment of Apple devices, including iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads and Vision Pros. The latter two categories are seeing their prices head skywards, further pushing Siri out of reach for many customers. While iPhones and Apple Watches have escaped harm for now, don’t expect that to last long past September. This comes at a critical time for Apple. Siri is already scrambling to make up for two years of negative press and frustrating delays. It needs to wow users and make an instant impact. But if you now have to pay even more just to get access to some of its best features, you’ll find its progress blocked by substantial barriers. A no-win situation I understand why Apple raised prices across the board. If anything, it’s done well not to do so sooner. Apple is a company that prioritizes its juicy margins, and those margins gave it a little leeway to hold out longer than much of its competition. But things were going to have to change eventually if Apple was to preserve its profitability–with Tim Cook still at the helm, that was never in doubt. The question was when, not if. While Apple held out as long as it could, the timing of its price increases couldn’t be worse. It risks not only more pain at the pump for Apple’s customers, but could put a real dent in the prospects of its hardware and software, both present and future. If ever there was a no-win situation, it’s this, for everyone involved.

Amazon Drops 512GB MacBook Neo to $689.99, First Major Discount Since Apple’s Price Increase
Amazon is now offering the first major discount we've seen on Apple's 512GB MacBook Neo since the company recently raised prices. The Indigo model is currently available for $689.99, which is about $110 below Apple's new MSRP and the lowest price we've found anywhere for a 512GB Neo. The timing makes this deal particularly interesting. While Apple increased pricing across the Neo lineup, some retailer inventory has yet to fully catch up. As a result, shoppers can still pick up a 512GB MacBook Neo at pricing that effectively undercuts Apple's current retail pricing by a significant margin. The 512GB model remains one of the most attractive configurations in the Neo lineup, offering double the storage of the base model while maintaining the same lightweight design, long battery life, and everyday performance that have made the MacBook Neo so popular. Amazon is also offering fast shipping on available inventory, making this one of the easiest ways to lock in the lower pricing while supplies last. For the latest MacBook Neo prices, availability, and deals, visit our MacBook Neo Price Tracker, updated daily.
