\t\t\t\t\t\tApple\u2019s M5 Max-powered MacBook Pro<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s plans for new Mac hardware in 2026 are hitting minor supply chain headwinds, according to Bloomberg News\u2018 Mark Gurman.<\/p>\n

In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman reports that memory shortages could cause at least slight delays to both the next-generation Mac Studio and the anticipated touch-screen MacBook Pro models.<\/p>\n

The current Mac Studio, available in M3 Ultra and M4 Max configurations, has seen long shipping delays and stock shortages in recent months. A refresh \u2014 widely expected to bring more powerful M5-series Max and Ultra chips \u2014 had been targeted for around mid-2026, but may now slip a few months, potentially landing in October.<\/p>\n

Separately, Apple is still developing its first touch-screen MacBook Pro models, slated for a fall 2026 release. These would introduce direct touchscreen input to the Pro notebook lineup (likely paired with OLED displays), though reports emphasize the implementation will stop well short of turning the Mac into an iPad-like hybrid device.<\/p>\n

The dual delay risk stems from broader constraints on advanced memory components needed for the high-end chips powering both machines.<\/p>\n

MacDailyNews Note: <\/span><\/strong>No changes to the industrial design of the Mac Studio are expected; the update is expected to be a chip-focused refresh to maintain its position as Apple\u2019s compact high-performance desktop for creative professionals and developers.<\/p>\n
