Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra gets pricier: base up $500–1500

Apple raised Mac Studio prices: the M5 Max model now starts at $2,500 (+$500) and the M5 Ultra at $5,500 (+$1,500). The company blames soaring LPDDR5X memory and storage costs, plus hedging and its usual high margins.

• Mac Studio M5 Ultra: from $5,500, up to 512GB RAM and 1.2TB/s
• Top M5 Ultra config with 256GB RAM and 2TB SSD costs $11,299
• Comparable M3 Ultra config launched at $7,499
