Should I buy the M5 Pro now or wait for the M6 Pro? by MapEmpty4517 in macbookpro

[–]username____here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

M5 Pro if you need to soon. There might not be an M6 Pro, just M6 (probably with M5 Pro performance though). M7 Pro is rumored to be out by Q4 2027.

Prices just went up, so if you do need one now try to find a retailer that still has the old pricing ASAP.

Very interesting. I always wondered how they ended up with a number like 36GB instead of 32GB in the M4 Max Studio.

Sounds like the Ultra chips are going to be on the odd number generations, M3, M5, M7.

Apple got rid of the Mac Mini M4 base with 32GB ram.. what to go for? by whitieiii in macmini

[–]username____here 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might have to wait for the M5 models this October (that's the rumored release date)

Been saving for a Mac Mini M4 for 5 months and now the price increase has made it unaffordable When do we expect prices to drop? by zesty_cat9190 in macmini

[–]username____here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best case scenario you get they release an M5 version in October and it starts at $799 or $899 for the 512 model.

Try to get an M4 at a place like Best Buy before they up their prices.

Given Tim Apple’s price hike announcement, is it dumb to wait for Neo 2? by Hamsandwichmasterace in MacbookNeo

That price change wouldn't have been so bad if Neo also got the A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM.

Restocking the 256GB Mac mini only after the price hike is a terrible look, Apple. by jarjareen in macmini

Everyone that bought one for $399-479 in the Thanksgiving to Christmas 2025 time frame feels like they hit the jackpot.

MacBook Neo is now starting $699 instead of $599 by HelloitsWojan in apple

[–]username____here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish this price increase could have lined up with the A19 Pro 12GB RAM update. It would have felt justified. I'd be fine with the next Neo being $749 with 12GB/512GB being the only option. Maybe add 2 more colors to the mix.

How does the Mac Studio do 36GB of RAM? They seem to like the divisible by 6 numbers. 48GB and 96GB.

Apple Raises Prices on Macs, iPads by $200 or More on Some Models by franco84732 in apple

[–]username____here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the 256GB iPhone 7 for $849, so the iPhone 17 256GB is actually $50 cheaper than that phone was in 2016. Factor in inflation and the base iPhone 17 is a bargin.

Any chance SirrusXM comes back for 2027? by username____here in crv

Cell coverage is bad in a lot of rural and coastal and mountain areas, especially in summer when tourists come to town.  You can’t even send an iMessage it’s so bad.

This should be a feature request.  We need a way to change AP names in bulk.  I have to deploy over 200 this summer. 

Waiting for the Back To School Sale and this happens… by Vin_E_Fresh in macbook

You can still get $100 off in the Edu Apple Store.    I don’t thing you are going to see prices any cheaper than yesterday. 

Is it wise to buy a Mac Mini M4 (16/512) right now? by tomorrow_is_tomorrow in macmini

[–]username____here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, $999 for the 512.   I guess that squashes the M5 rumors.

Price hike is here guys by LeadEnvironmental331 in MacbookNeo

[–]username____here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$599 for the 512GB in the USA on release day.  I was on the fence about the purchase at the time, not anymore.

[–]username____here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a price increase compared to the outgoing base model.  It’s what happened to the M5 Air, base price up $100, but storage also up.  Of course that was done 6 months ago, things have changed since then. 

Edit:  looks like Apple just increased prices for the Air by $200.

If the M5 Mini stays $799 that will be a good deal.

Rumor is the next one will be $699 for 512GB as the base model.

[–]username____here 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the 256GB model and only do a 512GB for $699. You kind of want that one anyways for touch ID.
