Apple According to available information, a new generation is in development Mac Studio and everything indicates that we will see a release in the first half of 2026. This is not a revolution in design - more of a classic silent update that is supposed to move the performance and overall equipment to where it makes the most sense for this type of machine.
There is no talk of a significant redesign yet. Mac Studio should therefore remain with its compact body with rounded corners. So something between Apple TV a Mac mini, only higher. It's logical. This format works, it's practical and Apple apparently sees it as the long-term direction for powerful desktop Macs. Mac Pro According to some indications, it should be on the sidelines, while Mac Studio is emerging as the main choice for more demanding work.
M5 Max a M5 Ultra as the main attraction
The biggest change is expected inside. New Mac Studio should switch to M5 Max a M5 Ultra. M5 Max should offer noticeably higher CPU and GPU performance compared to the base M5, and M5 Ultra is traditionally supposed to aim even higher. It is expected that it will be a "double" configuration compared to Maxu. Interestingly, mentions of these chips allegedly appeared in the code of one of the beta versions iOS 26.3, which usually means that software is already being prepared internally for the hardware.
Another minor but welcome change may come to storage. If Apple will maintain the trend from the recent MacBookFor, it can also Mac Studio get a faster SSD.
Gallery
At the same time, it is again inflected Studio Display 2, which could arrive around the same time. It is expected to look similar to the current model, but there is talk of a higher refresh rate (90 Hz, or even ProMotion 120 Ht), mini-LED panel and A19 chip for multimedia functions.
Price and release date
There is no talk of a price increase yet, so the starting price could theoretically remain at $1,999 (56,990 CZK in our country). In terms of timing, it looks like if the spring wave of Macs arrives in early March, Mac Studio should follow shortly after. And it definitely makes sense to me. Who's waiting for a desktop with M5 Max/M5 Ultra, doesn't want to wait until summer. And if you want uncompromising performance, Mac Studio is the best choice ever.
